"The ad was a response to the artist's recent cancellation of a planned concert in Tel Aviv."
'Influential conservative U.S. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach called New Zealand singer Lorde a "bigot" and suggested that she was now a part of "a global antisemitic boycott of Israel" in a Dec. 31 full-page ad published in the Washington Post. '
'In joining the boycott in a non-official capacity, Lorde fell under criticism from both pro-Israel groups and conservative voices. '
' Not only did the Israeli ambassador to New Zealand lambast her move while requesting a meeting with Lorde, but Roseanne Barr called her a "bigot" in a now-deleted tweet. '
'She added, " Tel Aviv, it’s been a dream of mine to visit this beautiful part of the world for many years, and I’m truly sorry to reverse my commitment to come play for you. '
