Stevie Wonder not signed, sealed and delivered

On Wednesday an interesting story ran on one of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy sites: Singer Stevie Wonder would perform at a Los Angeles fundraiser for the Israeli Defense Force.

Today, no he won’t.

“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.”


(Friends of the Israeli Defense Force. Wonder didn’t know what that meant. Friends. Israel. Defense Force.)

“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.”

To quote the great Ray Stevens: There is none so blind as he who will not see.
