After two women wrote an open letter to the singer, urging her not to play, Lorde responded on Twitter on Wednesday that she was “considering all options.”The letter – written by New Zealand activists Justine Sachs and Nadia Abu-Shanab and posted on the New Zealand website Spinoff – said, “Playing in Tel Aviv will be seen as giving support to the policies of the Israeli government, even if you make no comment on the political situation. Such an effect cannot be undone by even the best intention and the best music.”Arielli said Sunday night that he wants to thank Lorde for giving them a chance in the first place and to apologize to her: “She doesn’t deserve all the shit she’s had to endure over the past week,” he wrote. “This is not the first cancellation we’ve had, and it won’t be the last.”Culture Minister Miri Regev issued a statement calling on Lorde to reverse her cancellation.“Lorde, I’m hoping you can be a ‘pure heroine,’ like the title of your first album,” Regev said in a statement. “To be a heroine of pure culture, free from any foreign – and ridiculous – political considerations.”Noted! Been speaking w many people about this and considering all options. Thank u for educating me i am learning all the time too
