    Dear Stevie:
In 1985, you showed the world that you opposed Apartheid in South Africa when you were arrested protesting the Apartheid regime and in your song, “It’s Wrong (Apartheid).” Now, 27 years later, we wish to say: Apartheid is still wrong.
Today, the Israeli army is enforcing a system that South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu has described as even worse than Apartheid in South Africa. And 15 years ago this week, Nelson Mandela himself said: “we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”
Israel’s illegal military occupation denies the fundamental human rights of Palestinians through a system of segregated roads, buses, legal systems, and more. Palestinian homes, schools, hospitals, and entire villages are demolished to clear areas for Israeli Jewish-only settlement. Thousands of Palestinians are held without charge and tortured in Israeli prisons, including children. Palestinian olive groves are razed, burned, or confiscated. Palestinians inside Israel are prohibited from living on the vast majority of the land because they are not Jewish, while millions more Palestinians are forced to live in exile. And the 1.7 million Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza live under constant fear of U.S.-funded drones, missiles, and tanks that have wrought death and devastation, including in the army’s recent attacks on Gaza that killed more than 130 Palestinians, most of them civilians.
Three years ago, you were designated a “Messenger of Peace” by the United Nations. November 29th — one week before your scheduled performance — is the UN’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Please be that messenger of peace by refusing to entertain or fundraise for a military that continues to systematically oppress an entire population.
Please continue your legacy of speaking out for the oppressed. Please be a “full-time lover” of justice by standing on the right side of history and canceling your performance for the Israeli army.
Sincerely,
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanx Stevie... Thank You.....THANK YOU....bless you.

[/t]        [size=0pt]Stevie Wonder[/size][size=0pt]Photo by AP[/size]          [size=0pt]Stevie Wonder is set to pull out of a performance at a fundraiser for the Israel Defense Forces, a source told JTA. Wonder's representatives will claim that he did not know the nature of the group, the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, and that he believes such a performance would be incongruent with his status as a UN "Messenger of Peace," according to a source who has read email exchanges between Wonder's representatives and organizers of the event. Wonder was scheduled to headline the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces annual gala in Los Angeles on Dec. 6. The event raises millions of dollars annually to support the Israeli military. An official of Friends of the IDF, reached at its Los Angeles office, had no comment. Wonder's agent at Creative Artists Agency did not return a request for comment. The spokesman for the UN Secretary General also had no comment on the matter. The United Nations does not impose restrictions on its goodwill representatives. Wonder most recently performed at a UN concert commemorating its 67th anniversary. Elie Wiesel, the Nobele Peace Laureate and Holocaust memoirist who is also a staunch defender of Israel is also a UN Messenger of Peace. Wonder had come under intense social media pressure to pull out of the event. An online petition calling on him to cancel his performance had garnered more than 3,600 signatures. The petition was launched more than a day ago on the change.org website. "You were arrested in 1985 protesting South African Apartheid, now we ask you: please remember that apartheid is apartheid, whether it comes from White Afrikaaner settlers of South Africa or from Jewish Israelis in Israel," the petition reads. "Desmond Tutu has recognized that Israel’s Apartheid is worse than South Africa’s -- will you stand with us against apartheid and cancel your performance at the IDF fundraiser." A second petition, launched by the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, calls on Wonder to "(p)lease continue your legacy of speaking out for the oppressed. Please be a 'full-time lover' of justice by standing on the right side of history and canceling your performance for the Israeli army."

Nothing earth-shaking about that.   now that he has a lord and savior his own color, he's expected to change his mind.
will the white house become a kind-of mecca for black folks?

  ..Typical racist statement... So doesn't matter what you think or how you spin it; or even indicates that you reviewed the facts such as he previously gave an Israel annivesary concert a few years back.

Way to go Stevie.....

..TM7.

so far I'm not blind or deaf, and jamie fox said obama was their lord and savior.
if the REAL Lord and Savior lived somewhere in this country, I'd go there and make it my mecca.
so that's not racist, it's just the way they are, so I expect a lot of blacks to visit the white house.
if stevie did a concert for Jews, good for him, then......
