Another music icon has rightfully told the boycott the Jews (BDS) Movement to F*** off! The effort to have Richie cancel his Tel Aviv show is being led by the radical pro-BDS hate group Code Pink. Fortunately Lionel Richie is an artist of integrity, and will not allow himself be bullied by the neo-Nazis (here, here) from Code Pink. Richie will proudly perform in Tel Aviv this fall, as part of his “Hello” world tour. Way to go Lionel! #BDSFail.
By JNS News Service, August 3rd, 2019:
Music icon Lionel Richie snubbed the women’s anti-war group Code Pink after the organization, which is active in the anti-Israel boycott campaign, launched a petition urging the singer to cancel his upcoming show in Israel.
Story continues below advertisementCodePink: Women for Peace penned an open letter claiming that Richie’s scheduled Sept. 12 concert in Tel Aviv, as part of his “Hello” tour, “will act as an endorsement of Israel’s brutal systems of military occupation and apartheid,” and asked the artist, “Please act now for freedom, dignity, and equality for all in Israel/Palestine. Please cancel your concert in Israel.”
Richie blocked CodePink’s Twitter account on Wednesday.
Not long afterwards, CodePink’s national co-director, Ariel Gold, attacked the singer, saying, “Don’t be such a snowflake. You closing your eyes to what is happening to Palestinians won’t stop it from happening or you from being complicit if you perform in Israel.”
BREAKING: Simply because we started a campaign urging him to stand up for Palestinian human rights and cancel his upcoming show in Apartheid Israel, @LionelRichie blocked us! 😂 #LionelDontGo pic.twitter.com/JPrsOD3UwF

I was surprised how nice he is to the American Idol contestants.
Never heard that much from him, but loved his music.

I bet the “Squad” is fuming. And I LOVE it! I bet it also freaked them out when JLO went with her family to Israel to perform too. My favorite part is A-Rod praying in Israel. I bet that just eats at those hateful witches.

I love Lionel Ritchie’s music especially when he was with the Commodores. Three times a lady and sail on.
Lionel Ritchie’s second wife Diane Alexander was Jewish and so are his two children his son and daughter Sofia.
He is brave and to be admired for standing up to the Israel haters.
Great musician and a great country.

Is it that Leftists really love Palestinian Islamic tyranny or, is it that Leftists really hate Jews and Israel’s democratic freedoms? I could never visit Palestine for fear of being killed by Muslims; I would love to visit Israel but would fear attacks from the Muslims who live there. I would love to give a one-way ticket to Palestine to all the Code Pinkers (incognito in approved Islamic clothing) so they can experience evil first hand. Perhaps they could participate in a Palestinian women’s protest against honor killing.

How does the song go I’m your Knight in Shining Armor. Thanks Lionel.

The Code Pink activists most probably share a fantasy of being auctioned off in an Arab slave market.

If the Muslims were in power, they’d use Code Pink and other Leftards for target practice. Though frankly I personally don’t care. Anyone stupid enough to defend Islam deserves what’s coming to them.
It’s nice to see celebrities finally realizing that Israelis are the good guys and Palestinians are evil. I think all the education that Pam and others have done over the years has paid off, except for Libtards who never seem to learn.
