No shows were booked in the first place, Shakira actually said she's looking forward to performing in Israel:

"The media has incorrectly reported that Shakira will be performing in Tel Aviv this summer. While no dates this summer will work, Shakira and Live Nation hope to bring a show to her fans in Israel in the future."

#BDS-holes are desperate to lie, put words into people's mouths, and invent "victories" that never happened. :rolleyes-41:
Q. What does it tell us about how successful these losers feel?
 
Palestinians, predictably, are freaking out, especially since the game is being played in Jerusalem.

" The Fatah movement called on the Argentine government and people to cancel their friendly match with the team of the occupying state in Jerusalem, saying that conducting this match in the occupation state and in Jerusalem specifically is an attack on the rights of the Palestinian people, meant to mislead international public opinion, and exploit the sport and this game in particular in order to break the law and international legitimacy for the oppression and oppression of the Palestinian people.
A member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council and its official spokesman Osama al-Qawasmi said in a press statement that Israel is exploiting a noble sport. One of [football]'s goals is to build bridges of love, peace and communication among the peoples of the earth, but Israel is turning it into racist political goals and to persecute others and create hatred. In Jerusalem, the capital of the Palestinian state, we are recalling that the blood of our children, our young men and women in Gaza whose blood has not yet dried up as a result of Israeli bullets, backed by an unjust American decision to consider Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."


Sure Teddy Stadium is inside the 1949 partition lines, but apparently the Palestinians don't care about that any more. Anything that happens in Jerusalem is illegal unless they approve.

What really upsets them is that the entire idea of going to Israel came from star player Lionel Messi for good luck in the World Cup:

The crowd responded by booing the activists and Minister Cohen did not hesitate to fire back at them, pointing out that Israel provides Gazans with everything needed to develop Gaza and make it stable and prosperous.

“We send you medicine, we send you food…build schools! Build industrial zones! This is what you should do with the money,” said Cohen.

“We gave you Gaza till the last millimeter. Instead of building hospitals, instead of taking care of your people, you are shooting rockets!” added the minister.

A group that uses arts as a main political weapon against Israel, accuses Israel of using arts as an expression of their national identity?
#BDS-holes just the last week "pulled a Shakira", boldly ambushing an international artist and using dirty politics to spread more hatred and lies, using exactly that -arts.

So let us be clear - the more #BDS-holes try to ambush musicians the more You'll see international bands support their fans in Israel and their Israeli colleagues.
And the arts exchange within Israel has never been better in the last 20 years. I wonder why don't #BDS-holes attribute that as one of their "victories"?
