Elton John Performs In Israel After Other Artists Cancel In Protest

Elton John was one of the few artists who refused to cancel a scheduled concert in Tel Aviv, telling the crowd, "Ain't gonna stop me from coming here, baby!" during a show on Thursday night.

Artists such as Elvis Costello and The Pixies have cancelled their shows in response to a call for a boycott of the Jewish state after at least 10 people were killed on a boat loaded with supplies on its way to Gaza.

"That is what we do. We do not cherry-pick our consciences, OK?" John said to the crowd, perhaps taking aim at the others who are participating in the boycott.

Course, John has never been one to shy away from performing in controversial places; Earlier this month he sang at the wedding of Rush Limbaugh.
