The BSemites have being trying really hard to encourage artists to cancel concerts in Israel. The BSemites' rubbish has had very minimal success. Artists are
swarming to perform in Israel, and are slamming the BS movement as they are doing so. This week a 20,000 audience enjoyed an amazing One Republic concert in Tel Aviv. See this
Israel National News report:
Tel Aviv's Park Hayarkon was packed with 20,000 jubilant youthful fans on Thursday night, who, after an opening performance by Israeli singer Harel Skaat, soaked in over an hour-and-a-half of pure One Republic with no gaudy effects and no playback or backup on vocal and instrumental tracks - just raw musical talent including on the cello and piano, reports Yedioth Aharonot.
It was the debut performance in the Jewish state for the famous band which hails from Colorado.
The band did not hesitate to attack BSemites during the concert:
Towards the end of the performance in a break between songs, lead singer and songwriter Ryan Tedder spoke about the boycott movement and antagonism facing Israel.
"I know how hard it is to bring a new act here, I know how many people cancel on you and that's bulls**t," said Tedder. "Where we grew up we don't take sides, we just love people, good people."
Promising a repeat performance in Israel, the band members said, "when we come back here we're going to bring you new music and a newalbum," an announcement met with the thunderous approval of the audience.
Showing their love of Israel, the band even had a giant image of the Israeli flag shown on the stage's screens.
Even Tedder agrees - BS is really BS! Go One Republic!
