Macy Gray asks fans: Should I play in Israel?

US soul singer, who is target of pro-Palestinian boycott campaign, tells 'Post': "I like coming to Israel."

Like Elton John, Leonard Cohen, Paul McCartney and countless other international performers who have come to Israel in recent years, American soul singer Macy Gray has been the target of a pro-Palestinian lobby campaign to convince her to cancel her two shows at Reading 3 in Tel Aviv on February 11 and 12.
However, unlike those stars, who after various considerations bucked the boycott, or other high-profile performers like the Pixies and Elvis Costello,  who did buckle to the pressure and canceled their already scheduled and sold-out shows, Gray did something different. She asked her fans what to do.
