"Al-Akhbar ran a story earlier in the week highlighting a campaign in Lebanon to stop Fabian from performing at the Casino du Liban, citing her pro-Israel activities. Fabian performed at a concert in France in 2008 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the state of Israel's establishment in 1948, reportedly saying at the end of a song that she loved Israel. She has also performed in Israel on a number of occasions and attended pro-Zionist meetings. Asad Ghsoub, from the Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel in Lebanon (CBSI), hailed her cancellation as a victory for those raising awareness on Israel's crimes.
"We're very happy and satisfied. We worked hard for two weeks on this," he said. "It shows how a bunch of less than two dozen [people] committed to a cause can do something." Ghsoub rejected Fabian's claims that she was threatened, highlighting the non-violent approach of the boycott campaings."
