Guitarist Thurston Moore canceled a performance in Israel in April. He did it in protest of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. "To perform with my band in Israel was in direct conflict to my values,"
he said. Pretty sure the media and the public is going to be up in arms about this anti-Semitism and refusal to provide services to a group of people. Right? Odd. Florists, photographers, bakers and the like must perform in direct conflict to their values; musicians don't have to.

Cognitive dissonance.
Exactly. Like "The Confederate Flag can only mean hate ... but gender and marriage are fluid in their definitions."
