Lately, certain Zionist forces have attempted to make an example of Kehlani, the R&B star who has expressed solidarity with the people of Palestine. Earlier this year, Cornell University canceled a planned Kehlani show over what the university’s president described as her “antisemitic, anti-Israel sentiments.” Last month, New York’s City Park’s Foundation canceled Kehlani’s Pride event at Central Park SummerStage, seemingly at the behest of mayor Eric Adams. Kehlani has not backed down during any of this. She’s merely restated that she’s not antisemitic and that she believes that Israel’s occupation of Palestine needs to end. Today, there’s more political pressure over another Kehlani show, and there’s also a new Kehlani single.
