The New Zealand Jewish Council has distanced itself from a full-page advertisement in the Washington Post, which calls singer Lorde a bigot and accuses New Zealand of prejudice against Israel.
The ad taken out by outspoken rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s This World: The Values Network, comes after criticism prompted the 21-year-old to cancel an upcoming concert in Tel Aviv.
It says she’s joining a global anti-Semitic boycott of Israel but still performing in Russia.
Jewish Council spokesperson Juliet Moses says the advertisment does not promote education or understanding.
