BDS Gets Lara Fabian To Cancel Her Lebanon Concert



They have called her a supporter of Israel and that's enough to cancel her appearance in Lebanon. Today Lara Fabian, the Italian singer has announced on her Facebook page that she is not going to Beirut.

Lara had two concern planned in Lebanon, but the moment activists have called her out on her past, she has got the message. In 2008 she appeared in concert in Israel along with Israeli singers to celebrate 60 years on the Nakba, the day Israel has established their country on the ruins of Palestine.

Casino Du Liban was the venue for those concerts will not be booked that night. I must hand it to the activists who keep their pressure on entertainers who go out of their way to make matter worse of Israel's neighbors. BDS 1, Israel 0. Nothing personal Lara is an amazing talent and will always be.
