A singer’s acceptance to play in Tel Aviv, Israel has ruffled feathers with activists and protestors fighting her appearance. USA Today and Alice Walker, the author of “The Color Purple” have also joined the fight in urging this singer not to perform in order to protest the apartheid of Palestinians within the country, as well as human rights violations to the African population within Israel, where we previously reported that the Israeli government was forcing Ethiopian immigrants to become sterile. Maysoon Zayid from The Daily Beast has written an open letter encouraging the singer to at least visit the Palestinians on her trip so as to see the conditions in what is frequently described as an “open-air prison.” Check out who the singer is after the jump.
The singer is Alicia Keys. Do you think she should perform?
