Stevie Wonder Pulls Out of IDF Fundraiser
Petition Called on R&B Star To Shun Israel Army Event
By JTAStevie 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 U.N. “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 Israeli Defense Forces annual gala in Los Angeles on Dec. 6. The event raises millions of dollars annually to support the Israeli military.
Original post:
On November 25, 2012, YNet announced that musical legend and civil rights advocate Stevie Wonder would be performing for Israeli soldiers and major donors at the annual gala of the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on December 6 in Los Angeles. Stevie Wonder stood against Apartheid in South Africa and has been an outspoken supporter of racial justice and civil rights in the United States. Please join us in saying to Stevie Wonder: “We Just Called to Say, Don’t Entertain Apartheid!”
In a letter to Stevie, Palestinian writerBassem Nasir wrote:
“This army, [the one you are supporting] Stevie, is a tool of oppression and subjugation that has kept me, my family, and my people occupied for over forty-five years. Every day, this army is protecting the seizure of more Palestinian land to build illegal Israeli settlements and further denying me my rights as a human being… I am urging you to cancel this performance and stand with the values of justice and peace for all.”
The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation has set up an action section on their webpage where you can sent a message to Stevie Wonder telling him not to entertain apartheid.

By participating he would be contradicting himself which may not be a concern for him.
The gala serves more than one purpose and while Israel has the right to exist the right to do what it has been doing through the IDF is another matter.
I traveled in Israel/Palestine last Spring, and saw 1st hand how oppressive the Israeli government is.
