Since he can't see for himself.... Stevie Wonder Succumbs to Anti-Israel Hate Campaign

Someone has been playing a nasty joke on him getting him that beaded hairdo. Sometimes handicapped are deficient and the blind really can't see. Remember, Helen Keller was a radical Socialist who moved even more to the left and became a  Wobbly, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), but what can be expected, she was deaf, dumb and blind. That is what it takes to be imbued with the liberal-fascist world. m/r

Stevie Wonder Succumbs to Anti-Israel Hate Campaign

By Ben Shapiro On December 7, 2012 Last week, entertainer extraordinaire Stevie Wonder blew off a dinner for the Friends of the Israel Defense Force after anti-Semitic petitioners by the thousands asked him to pull out of the event. Those petitioners told Wonder that Israel was an “apartheid state.” They suggested that Israel was a human rights violator. And Wonder, not used to receiving political pressure, fell for it, releasing this statement:
Given the current and very delicate situation in the Middle East, and with a heart that has always cried out for world unity, I will not be performing at the FIDF Gala …. I am and have always been against war, any war, anywhere.
Any war, anywhere? How about World War II? Or the Civil War? Would Wonder have cancelled a fundraiser for the Friends of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the first all-black Army unit to fight in the Civil War?
Probably not.
But anti-Israel outcry has an outsized impact in the Hollywood community. The universities have long been a bastion of anti-Israel feeling; the professoriate prefers to think of Israel through a Marxist lens, as a colonial outpost in the midst of the Islamic world. That’s nonsense – Israel has always had a Jewish presence, and the Jewish State is no more a British outpost than India is, especially considering that the Jews had to fight the British to leave and that the British administration was utterly Arab centric.
Hollywood’s anti-Israel feeling is more knee-jerk – it comes from a perverse sense that Israel is an oppressor and the Palestinians are the oppressed. Hollywood is built on victimology; virtue comes from being weak, and evil comes from being strong.
