The way they are phrasing it about it raising money ‘for the Israeli military’ they are virtually implying that it goes towards buying weapons, which is a lot more emotive than what it actually does, which is helping people who are connected to it...

Stevie just got added to my list of celebrities I don’t need to support. Because after all I am an ambassador of me and I’ve been against week kneed liberals every, always!

Apparently, very little thought went into the decision to orginally schedule the appearance. One would not have needed to be a genius to see such protests coming against any American who intends to perform for most any Israeli audience, let alone one with a military association.
Should have seen it coming, and shouldn’t have been bullied into cacelling.

Wonder said in a statement he was canceling with a heavy heart but that "I am and have always been against war, any war, anywhere." If it wasn't for the Israeli military, there would be genocide over there. I guess he would be fine with that option... but is against self-defense.
