WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.
has all the talk during election as to who loves Israel more republicans or progressives and declarations by the Pres. of continued support emboldened them to be more aggressive then without it?
i agree wit Stevie's decision it could be construed as his supporting one against the other, which would make a great right wing misleading propaganda speak, given their propensity of late to attack solid Blacks of celebrity.
