Pop star Macy Gray wrote on her official Facebook page on Wednesday that she was deliberating whether or not she should perform in February in Israel, as she had received dozens of letters urging her to boycott the country.
"I'm getting a lot of letters from activists urging/begging me to boycott by NOT performing in protest of Apartheid against the Palestinians," Macy Gray wrote on her Wall.
"What the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinians is disgusting, but I wana go. I gotta lotta fans there I dont want to cancel on and I ...don't know how my NOT going changes anything. What do you think? Stay or go?" she asked her fans.
Gray is scheduled to perform two shows in Tel Aviv this February.
The star's Faceboook comment was answered by over 1,000 comments, some of which urged her to indeed heed to the call to boycott Israel. Some people identifying themselves as Israelis told her in response that she was not welcome in the country in any event

I don’t know Macy, but I have an idea who I’ll be boycotting.
Hey Macy - boycott! I’m sure you’d be doing Israel a huge favor by not going there. In the meantime, I’ll be sure to boycott you here in the U.S.
Macy who?
Whats the matter Macy?
No mind of your own?
Do the Disky Shiks need a fourth perhaps?
Hey, she finally grew some nice hair. Hated the bald look. Now if she could grow a good voice. I think she had a nice blues song about 20 years ago but she’s a lightweight in the musical world, and it looks like she’s a featherweight in the foreign affairs world.
Israel has been around for over 3,000 years, 5,000+ according to the Hebrew calendar, so they will get along without her for the next 3-5,000 years.
Hey Shania Twain, “Come on Over”.
I don’t even know why anyone in Israel would want to see her stupid ass perform there anyway, she has ZERO talent. Maybe if Macy spent the night in a bunker having missiles thrown at her house all day and night she would understand what Israelis have to deal with everyday..she is such a pompous jerk
Disky Shiks - LOL. I also like Ditsy Chicks.
Boycott Israel. Go to Iran (g-string attire would be about right).
You can’t make this crap up.
I don’t know much about that chick. I guess her piece on that Santana album is the only one of her songs I ever heard. My woman likes her. But she likes a lot of stuff I wouldn’t use to drown out barking dogs with so what the heck does she know?
Sorry Hon, what I meant to say was MY WOMAN HAS GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC. But the channels on her FM dial in the Jeep make me nuts.
Well, some seem to have sold their soul to the devil and will spend their days promoting evil.
Who?
Who the heck is Macy Gray and should i care about her Facebook page?
Israel has enough problems, just stay the hell out of their country.
