Popular shock-jock suggests New Zealand pop star is anti-Semitic after she cancels Tel Aviv concert.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Popular U.S. shock-jock Howard Stern took a shot at New Zealand pop star Lorde this week, after she canceled an upcoming show in Israel amid pressure by supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS).<\/span><\/p>\n

Stern, an ardent supporter of Israel and constant critic of musicians who refuse to take the stage there, blasted Lorde on his Sirius XM radio show, saying the singer likely has a problem with Jewish people.<\/span><\/p>\n

“She has no problem with Russia. The only place in the world where she can\u2019t play is Israel. So what do you think\u2019s going on? What\u2019s the one thing about Israel that\u2019s different than all other places. There\u2019s Jews there \u2026 I hope Lorde has a good time in Russia,” he said, as quoted by The Washington Free Beacon.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Anti-Semitism is on the rise. I\u2019m so [expletive] sick of it,” Stern said, adding about Lorde, \u201cOne hit song this girls\u2019 living off of.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

News of the cancellation of Lorde\u2019s June concert in Tel Aviv came days after pro-Palestinian Arab fans in her native New Zealand criticized her. Israeli concert organizers announced the cancellation and said ticket sales would be refunded.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lorde later justified her decision, claiming it was the right one and adding, \u201cI pride myself on being an informed young citizen, and I had done a lot of reading and sought a lot of opinions before deciding to book a show in Tel Aviv, but I\u2019m not too proud to admit I didn\u2019t make the right call on this one. Tel Aviv, it\u2019s been a dream of mine to visit this beautiful part of the world for many years, and I\u2019m truly sorry to reverse my commitment to come play for you. I hope one day we can all dance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the past, Stern also has blasted former Pink Floyd frontman and notorious anti-Israel activist Roger Waters for his vocal criticism of Israel and effort to get various artists to cancel concerts there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Waters, who regularly pressures artists not to perform in Israel, last week was one of 100 artists who signed an open letter in support of Lorde.<\/span><\/p>\n

The letter of support by the group of artists was a response to U.S. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who published a full page advertisement in the Washington Post in which he called Lorde a Jew-hating \u201cbigot\u201d and a hypocrite on human rights issues.
