Palestinian activists have urged Snoop Dogg to join them in 'boycotting' the Jewish state by cancelling his upcoming concert in Israel.
The hip-hop hit-maker is scheduled to perform in Israel on 18 September, but activists belonging to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) are calling on Snoop Dogg to 'Drop It like It's Hot' and follow their example.
According to AllHipHop.com, PACBI is disappointed that Snoop plans to perform in Israel, given the political tension between that country and Palestine.
PACBI's official statement to Snoop reads: “The Palestinian arts community was deeply saddened and surprised by the news of your upcoming performance in Israel on September 18 in Ramat Gan. We strongly urge you to cancel your plans to perform in Israel until the time comes when Israel ends its illegal occupation of Palestinian and Arab territories and respects the relevant precepts of international law concerning Palestinian rights to freedom, self-determination and equality.
'How can an artist whose name is prominently associated with this form of popular and freedom-based musical expression, rap, be apathetic to the monstrosity of Israel's current war crimes in Gaza, its Apartheid Wall, declared illegal by the International Court of Justice at the Hague, or its continued violation of fundamental Palestinian rights? By performing in Ramat Gan you are helping to perpetuate this special form of apartheid that denies us our rights. We sincerely hope that you shall cancel your announced performance in Israel.'
