"We regret to announce the cancellation of the Lorde concert in Israel planned for June. Boycott Israel," one woman wrote. "Please reconsider your date with apartheid #Israel, respect the Palestinian-led boycott & stand with the oppressed against Israel's brutal Occupation & theft. If artists were to boycott Israel than they would have to cancel US shows too, since Trump is the main supporter of Israel and its government." On Friday, Lorde tweeted that she was "considering all options" in her first statement about the comcert.
