BDS Bieber by John Greyson
BDS Bieber is a video parody of Justin's #1 youtube hit song 'Baby' which calls on him to honour the boycott call of Palestinian civil society and cancel his planned April concert in Tel Aviv. (Despite efforts of the pro-Israel lobby to censor this video, it's still available on youtube thanks to the fair use/fair comment provision of copyright law which protect parody.)
