Singer Macy Gray, on her Facebook page:
I’m booked for 2 shows in TelAviv. I’m getting alot of letters from activists urging/begging me to boycott by NOT performing in protest of Apartheid against the Palestinians. What the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinians is disgusting, but I wana go. I gotta lotta fans there I dont want to cancel on and I …dont know how my NOT going changes anything. What do you think? Stay or go?
How about educate yourself as to the conflict before making such flippant statements to your fans?
Pick up a history book or if that’s too taxing for you, strike up a conversation with Johnny Rotten.
Update: Gray has decided to come to Israel.
Dear Israel fans. Me and the band will be there in 20 days. Can’t wait. See you then. Peace.
I’ll give her credit for that.
