		</div><p>Two New Zealand women have been ordered to pay more than $12,000 (£9,000) in damages for allegedly helping persuade the pop singer Lorde to cancel a performance in Israel.</p>
<p>An Israeli court made the ruling under a law that allows civil lawsuits against anyone who calls for a boycott against the country.</p>
<p>The ruling is believed to be the first time the 2011 law has been applied.</p>
<p>The two New Zealanders, Justine Sachs and Nadia Abu-Shanab, appealed to the singer in an open letter to “join the artistic boycott of Israel”. Lorde acknowledged the letter and cancelled her show days later.</p>
<p>Three Israeli ticket holders filed the suit, claiming the cancellation by the New Zealand performer had caused emotional distress.</p>
<p>Their lawyer, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, said the decision sends a message that boycotting Israel carries a price</p>
