Palestinian Activists Accuse Snoop of Perpetuating “Apartheid”

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.
