We write in help of Lorde, who settled on open her choice not to perform in Israel and has now been marked a biased person in a full page notice in the Washington Post (Report, 1 January).
Shmuley Boteach, the creator and promoter of the advert, underpins Israel's illicit settlements and composed a month ago on Breitbart to express gratitude toward Donald Trump for "charging the world" with his acknowledgment of Jerusalem as Israel's capital in rebellion of worldwide law.
He has nothing to show craftsmen about human rights. We despise the tormenting strategies being utilized to shield unfairness against Palestinians and to stifle a craftsman's flexibility of inner voice. We bolster Lorde's entitlement to stand firm.
