An anti-boycott entertainment industry organization denounced the bullying on social media of American songstress Demi Lovato in the wake of her recent visit to Israel, the same day that the singer\u2019s mother said she will \u201cunapologetically go again\u201d to the Jewish state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-profit group Creative Community for Peace said, \u201cThere was nothing political about her trip, but rather this was a trip of learning, compassion, and self-discovery. Yet in a calculated attack, boycott activists, trolls and bots immediately targeted her and her fans, in an attempt to turn her influential social media feed into their own bully pulpit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

CCFP said Israel boycott activists \u201chijacked her social media page after she posted photos from the trip for their own political gain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAttacks like this against artists must end,\u201d the group added. \u201cMs. Lovato is certainly not alone in being a celebrity who has recently traveled to Israel. Others, including Jennifer Lopez, Daddy Yankee, Deshaun Watson, Neil Patrick Harris, and Alex Rodriguez, have all spoken about the positive experience they have had on their recent trips to the country \u2013 whether to perform or visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe at CCFP encourage artists to travel to Israel and the region and experience it for themselves. Ms. Lovato has no reason to apologize for her visit to Israel, but rather should be embraced for her love of humanity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cSober\u201d singer briefly posted an apology last week for her trip<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to Israel after receiving harsh backlash from anti-Israel BDS supporters, who accused her of \u201ccompletely ignoring the occupation and dehumanization of the Palestinian people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovato\u2019s mother, however, who accompanied the singer on the free trip, sounded an unapologetic tone. Dianna De La Garza posted<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>on Friday a picture of her hand and Lovato\u2019s touching the Western Wall, and wrote that praying in the Old City of Jerusalem \u201cwas the highlight of my trip to Israel.\u201d She added, \u201cI will never forget that day \u2026 or that trip as we celebrated life and Christianity as we learned about the Jewish faith while listening to the Muslim Call to Prayer. There was no fighting, no judgement, no cruel words\u2026 only love. And I will undoubtedly, unapologetically go again one day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovato was raised Christian but has Jewish ancestors.<\/span><\/p>\n
