The blind leading the blind. The evil leading the clueless. The UN recommended that Stevie Wonder cancel his concert to raise money for Israeli soldiers. And this useful idiot did. Hey, Stevie, the Jews have the human right to defend themselves.
Wonder said in a statement he was canceling with a heavy heart but that "I am and have always been against war, any war, anywhere."
But the targting of innocent civilians is OK? And you are down with jihad and the Islamic genocide of the Jewish people? Wonder is "against war, anywhere." Really? How about the Civil War?
Stevie Wonder cancels concert for Israeli group
WASHINGTON — Stevie Wonder is calling off a concert for a group that raises money for the Israeli military.
Wonder had been scheduled to perform Dec. 6 for Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, which raises money for Israeli soldiers and their families.
Wonder said the United Nations recommended canceling his performance because he is an official "Messenger of Peace" for the organization. The United Nations overwhelmingly voted to recognize a Palestinian state on Thursday over vehement U.S. and Israeli objections as hopes for Mideast peace talks stalled.
Wonder said in a statement he was canceling with a heavy heart but that "I am and have always been against war, any war, anywhere."
Cheers for Alanis Morrissette for not canceling her concert. We live in so cheap and tawdry an age that just putting on a show in Israel makes you a hero. And yet there are so few heroes. BDSers to Canadian Singer: Don't Go to Israel, 'Shun Tel Aviv'
Canadian singer Alanis Morissette has held fast to her plans to close out her 2012 tour in Tel Aviv, despite social media threats demanding that she boycott Israel.
On Monday, the 38-year-old singer faced a sold-out crowd at Tel Aviv’s Nokia Arena, some of whom were brandishing Canadian flags, according to a Tweet by Jerusalem Post video reporter Hadas Parush.
“Alanis Morissette is enacting a spectacular #BDSfail this very moment,” wrote Avi Mayer, head of social media with the Jewish Agency for Israel, just as Ms. Morrissette took the stage. The note was a reference to BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions), a campaign to impose sanctions against Israel.
Over the weekend, scattered messages targeting Ms. Morrissette on Twitter urged her not to cross the “Palestinian picket line” and not to “endorse Apartheid.”
[...]“I had a great time in Israel professionally, spiritually and emotionally,” Ms. Morrissette said in a September media statement announcing the concert.
Buy Morrissette for Christmas!
