(12.23.17)
“talk to many people” about simple things in life then believe me: Israel is not for your pretty “blonde” head....
2. GOOD LORDE
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (12.23.17)
Dear miss Lorde, without meaning to appear rude, do not try to think too much ,just come here and play ,or sing, have a good time ,get paid and go back home. There is no need to listen to evil people and their twisted views and agendas . And remember, you really are not doing anyone any favours ,come or do not come, israelis will survive happily either way.
3. Fair enough
Empress Trudy ,   Raleigh   (12.23.17)
You have one chance to hate Jews. Stay and it's for life, forever.
4. TO ALL PERFORMING ARTISTES
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (12.23.17)
To all performers everywhere : come or else do not come. But please disabuse yourselves of the idea that you are doing any country, not just Israel ,but ANY country and any people any favours. On the contrary ,your audiences are doing you the favour.
5. THE INJUSTICE
CAPTAIN REALITY ,   SAFED HONESTY   (12.23.17)
The only true injutice is that Israel is being unfairly singled out by evil people and fools with a largely antisemitic agenda.
6. PERFORMING IN ISRAEL
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (12.23.17)
Performing here in Israel is a privilege ,an honour and not all performers are deserving of such an honour.
7. Snake in the Grass
Tova   (12.23.17)
To all performers world over who oppose Israel, also oppose humanity.
Your songs of love have no value and your songs of peace reveal the hatred in your heart that you would dare to insult GOD, insult the very people who supported your career.

Before you lay judgement on Israel, know that GOD;s judgement will come to you.

You are no different than the evil of Jihad.

To the performers who go to Israel, you strength against those who oppose will only make you better.

To the 2 women , one Jew and one Palenstian - you both promote hatred, your friendship is false as you can be friends with the enemy of your people.

To the Jewish women ask your palenstian friend if she will recognize Jerusalem and Israel . I guarantee she would prefer the Jew to deny herself.

8. No support to apartheid zionist entity,support BDS
Anon ,   London   (12.23.17)
9. TO LORDE:
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (12.23.17)
If performing in Israel is good enough for Rod Stewart ,Elton John ,Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney ,Cliff Richard ,Vanessa Mae , Alice Cooper, and countless other stars, it is good enough for you.

13. A MESSAGE TO LORDE
ALBERTO EINSTEIN ,   SAFED GENIUS   (12.24.17)
Please be smart ,act wise. Stay far away from political issues and religious matters, things that you do not understand. Just sing and when you are not singing keep quiet, that way you will avoid a lot of grief. Incidentally , whether you decide to come to Israel to perform or not, you have already offended israelis by your actions ,try not to repeat the same mistake in future.
