My Hero Stevie Wonder Cancels On The Israel's IDF

Per US Campaign To End Israeli Occupation

Following outcries and appeals from people like you and advocates for boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) around the world, renowned musician and civil rights leader Stevie Wonder cancelled his performance for the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) Annual Fundraiser Gala! We learned about the great news as we watched yesterday's historic vote by the UN to upgrade Palestine's status to a “non-member state,” despite the strenuous objections of the United States and Israel.

Palestinians, Israelis, Artists Against Apartheid, the US Campaign, and member groups US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott, the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, were among the many who reached out to Wonder. Three international petitions garnered more than 10,000 signatures, including 4,000 of you who signed our petition in the 24 hours directly preceding the announcement. The Jewish Telegraph Agency reported that Wonder took noteof the petitions and decided to cancel. Thanks to all who signed! 

Now Stevie needs to know that people around the world are behind him! Click here to thank Stevie for doing the right thing!


FIDF announced the cancellation yesterday, November 29th, on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People that marked 65 years since the UN voted to partition Palestine, leading to the exile and dispossession of Palestinians that continues to this day. Wonder's representatives said that the United Nations had also recommended cancellation in light of his official designation as a UN “Messenger of Peace.” Is it just us or did the United Nations just recommend cultural boycott?


Wonder’s cancellation constitutes one of the biggest victories to date for the Palestinian-led international campaign for cultural boycott of institutions complicit in Israel’s occupation and apartheid practices.

The US Campaign worked day and night on this campaign, reaching out to Wonder publicly and privately and helping mobilize thousands of individuals, organizations, and public figures around the world. But we can’t do this kind of work without your support.  

If you believe in us continuing and expanding this important work, we hope you will consider giving us a donation today. 

Activists in Los Angeles are planning a demonstration against the gala, which glorifies and raises money to support the Israeli military that enforces Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies, violating the fundamental human rights of Palestinians. The fundraiser will take place next Thursday, December 6th. Click here to join the Facebook event page for details, endorsements, and updates! If you are not on Facebook, we have also posted details on our Stevie Wonder Campaign webpage here. If you are in Los Angeles, you won’t want to miss this protest!

Stevie Wonder’s decision illustrates the mainstreaming and growing power of the global BDS movement. It is by working together in coalition to continue mounting pressure on Israel and complicit U.S. institutions that the Palestinians’ rights to freedom, justice, and equality can one day be realized.

I Miss Tamer Hosny The Versatile Singer Not The Celebrity


Tamer Hosny learns from his mistakes, as various factions in Egypt duke out their differences, he is staying out of it. The pop star is not picking sides, and has largely kept off the airwaves. This kinda of made miss the pop star that we have once loved.

The hungry guy who wanted to make good party songs, not the mega celebrities with droves of teenagers idolizing him. He really kept us guessing, looking forward to his next big surprise because we knew we could trust him on giving us high quality entertainment--he made money because he worked hard. But then when he started focusing on cool and trendy, I feel he lost his way.

The only guy that gets Tamer, and knows how to make a good party song is one name and that name wil collaborate with him once again after about two years of rift. Nasr Mahrous has always known what it takes to make a good party song, a riot song. Tamer knows how to perform those and fully understands his own strength. 

I wish we can erase most songs and movies Tamer made since 2010. I know he wishes to take back the Tamer Hosny of 2011. I miss Tamer, the Hit-maker, not Tamer the trouble maker. Will we ever see his new album, I think we will, but Egyptian have to chill out for a minute.  In this business, nothing is personal. You make a good record you stay and people love you, you do not you fold.

Palestine has been recognized as a state by the United Nation


The United Nations general assembly voted on Thursday to recognise Palestine as a state, in the face of opposition from Israel and the US.

The 193-member assembly voted 138 in favour of the plan, with only nine against and 41 abstentions. The scale of the defeat represented a strong and public repudiation for Israel and the US, who find themselves out of step with the rest of the world.

Thursday's vote marked a diplomatic breakthrough for Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and could help his standing after weeks in which he has been sidelined by Palestinian rivals Hamas in the Gaza conflict.


Abbas, who flew from Ramallah, on the West Bank, to New York to address the general assembly, said: "The moment has arrived for the world to say clearly: enough of aggression, settlements and occupation."

A Palestinian flag was unfurled on the floor of the general assembly after the vote.

Several hundred people turned out in Yasser Arafat square in Ramallah on the West Bank, waving flags and singing along to nationalist music to mark the occasion.

In his address, Abbas noted the symbolism of the date, the 65th anniversary of the UN partitioning what had been British-ruled Palestine into Jewish and Arab countries. In the decades that followed, the idea of an independent Palestine had often been in danger of disappearing but had been "miraculously" kept alive, he said.

The general assembly resolution had finally given legitimacy to Palestine, he said. "The general assembly is called upon today to issue a birth certificate of the reality of the state of Palestine."

Israel and the US immediately condemned the resolution. The office of the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, described Abbas's speech as incitement and full of lies about Israel.

Ron Prosor, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, said: "Because this resolution is so one-sided, it doesn't advance peace, it pushes it backwards."

The only way to a Palestinian state was through direct negotiations, he said.

Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state, described the vote as "unfortunate and counterproductive". She said: "Only through direct negotiations between the parties can the Palestinians and Israelis achieve the peace that both deserve: two states for two people, with a sovereign, viable and independent Palestine living side-by-side in peace and security with a Jewish and democratic Israel."

Thursday's resolution raises Palestine from being a "non-member observer entity" to a "non-member observer state". The key is the final word, which confers UN legitimacy on Palestinian statehood and, while it cannot vote at the general assembly, it will enjoy other benefits, such as the chance to join international bodies such as the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Palestinians Are Gay For Palestine UN 194


I have mixed feeling about the UN bid and the new status Palestine has gained from the UN, I know most people are giddy in Palestine. The media is making this sound like a victory, they did the same thing and sang the same songs for Oslo and for pretty much all those agreements that now they describe as dead. In one hand, I think this is good, in the other I think we may not get to enjoy this. In all events this is a big blow to the right wing Israel government who has only 9 friends in the world.

In this video, you will see a bunch of dudes who are supposed to be journalists, video editors  camera mean and reports. They broke in dance when the UN passed the resolution making Palestine member number 194. For the untrained eye, this looks like a gay fest, a bunch of dudes dancing, clapping and standing in proximate to one another.

It's one thing to be happy and another to pretend to be happy so that your bosses in the PA can keep your salary going. One more thing, I have not seen one single women on those celebratory videos. I do not mean that women should be dancing  but should it they be working alongside those dancing dudes?

The songs they are dancing to are lame too, but at some point the party moved to the streets and the guys were dancing together. To be fair, those dancing guys are not alone, I have seen similar groups of men excited at sporting events.

Qatar Jails A Poet And Screens Movies At Tribeca


A poet will face life in prison in Qatar after penning verses that state officials deemed insulting to the nation's emir and an incitement to topple the government, his attorney told news agencies Thursday.

Rights activists say Mohammed Ajami was arrested over his “Jasmine Poem,” which skewered governments across the region, at one point declaring, “We are all Tunisia in the face of the repressive elite.” He had previously recited a poem criticizing the emir, according to free speech groups.

But who cares about one poet? The government clearly does not, and that's not stopping them from promoting films and freedom of speech at their own version of Tribeca film festival that's being held at the moment with the presence of many Arab and few international stars. Whatever you do just do not insult the leader of the land....this is a farce people.

Mohammed Ajami did nothing wrong, he spoke his mind in a place that has seriously promote free speech for all those who have something nice to say about the Emir. Do not get me wrong, I love many things Qatar did and how they are trying to do more, but they have also done a number of mistakes as well. Jailing Mr. Ajami should not be one of them.

Here's how I see this ending, the Emir of the land will parson the poet, and the poet will come out and apologize about his poem. Not fair by any means, but the Emir doe snot need the bad press as the story has been picked by the global press now.

As for the film festival in Qatar, it looked like the Algerian and Tunisian cinema were big winners, as they have collected the top awards. An Egyptian women won an award for the documentary she made about men and their role in society. A young Saudi women director also won for a movie she filmed about women of Saudi Arabia.

Kim Kardashian named most searched celebrity on internet


Kim Kardashian has been named the most popular person of this year by search engine Bing.

Justin Bieber, who acquired the position last year, has slipped down to number two, reported Ace Showbiz.

The other top-ten most-searched artists in respective orders are Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift.

Kardashian has been popular for her reality TV shows, such as “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and “Kourtney and Kim Take New York”.

Nigerian basketball player shot dead after 'trying to rob home in Texas'


A Nigerian national basketball player was shot dead in a botched burglary in Texas before Thanksgiving.

Chinedu Onyeuku, 29, was trying to break into a home in Plano on November 21 and was shot and killed by the homeowner, police say.

Onyeuku had played for the Nigerian team that qualified for this summer’s Olympic Games in London.

According to the Dallas News, Onyeuku and another person allegedly tried to break into a residence on Rio Grande Street in Plano, Texas the night of November 21.

Team Nigeria
The homeowner told Plano police that he saw ‘multiple people’ approaching the house.

The two apparently entered the residence by breaking a glass patio door.

The homeowner shot Onyeuku, killing him instantly. His accomplice ran away without injury. Police are still trying to track the second burglar.

Upon their arrival, EMT workers pronounced him dead at the scene.

It is unclear why Onyeuku and his companion were trying to burglarize the residence.

The Nigeria Basketball Federation posted a statement saying that the 29-year-old athlete played basketball for the team that qualified for the London 2012 Olympics.

However, Onyeuku was not on the Olympic roster and did not actually compete.

The statement reads: ' His passion for playing with D’Tigers was deep-seated and he will be greatly missed. The federation joins his family and team mates to mourn a departed son, father, husband and great patriot.'

Watch: Amal Maher "O, Egyptians" امال ماهر يا مصريين


Amal Maher does not do politics, she is one of millions who fear Egypt might not survive the latest confrontations and street demonstrations. Her passion and anger is hard to ignore, and the music for her song says as much, patriotic and loud--just like a wake-up call.

In the song Amal Maher poses a question, "What happened to us people of Egypt?" It's a fair question, this is not the Egyptians people have on mind, they seem a lot more stubborn, and each is more vocal about his own interests and agenda. 

Not one bad word, not one bad musical note, Amal delivers a sober song at those troubling times. As many have said, people of Egypt need to chill out and remember Egypt should always be their highest priority. Amr Mostafa wrote the music and the lyrics are the works of Tamer Hussein. Each person on this song has a different political affiliation, but still their concern for Egypt united all of them.

Sop Rap - One life In Between Palestine And The Occupation


Scream Of Peace Rap group of SOP Rap is their name and they are here to add something to the Palestinian rap scene by bringing their complex yet relate-able stories to a greater audience. The two rap group members come from a Palestinian city inside the state of the Israel. Few rappers can rap in more than one language SOP rappers can rap in three languages  Arabic, Hebrew and English

Sop is stressing the common wisdom  you only live once. The group started in 2005, but it was not until 2010 when a studio carrying their name opened in their town. Bring Palestinians living inside a state that do not approve of you can create one emotional and mental mess. Rap is like a therapy for such drowned voices,  it allows them to tell their plight  their struggles and by this process that can heal.

Like many Arab rapers before them, the common themes are of political and social nature. Their most recent song is about getting up after you have been knocked out. The performances of Fadi Mahmeed and Ahmad El Faris will resonate with the many young people who are feeling trapped. Their songs are found on their Mixtape Diaries 2005-2012. While SOP can rap in more than one language, they have chosen Arabic to be their go to language. for starter it's their native language and more people speaks it than say Hebrew.

Chinese model sentenced to prison after posing in police uniform


According to telegraph.co.uk

An aspiring Chinese model has been given a suspended sentence of nine months in jail after posting a series of racy photographs of herself dressed as a policewoman.

Wang Xiaomeng, 23, posted three pictures of herself on Sina Weibo,China's version of Twitter, in July.

One of the photographs showed her sitting on a bed, her top half fully clothed in a light blue police shirt and jaunty hat, but her legs bare as she pulled on a set of standard issue black tights.

Together with the photographs, she wrote a playful scenario.

"As a new cop in my hometown, I need to learn the basics.

As one of the flowers of the force, I am under pressure. I have to eat and drink with government leaders every day. I am using my flower status to dine with the leaders and win contracts for projects and investments!"

Her posts were retweeted more than 500 times and attracted 300 comments, most of them critical. She deleted them shortly afterwards and no one appears to have been fooled into thinking she was a real policewoman.

However, the government took a dim view. Sina, the internet company that runs Weibo, said it was a "deliberate attempt at self promotion" after receiving 14 complaints.

The following day, Ms Wang received a call from the police.

"The costume was just a prop, I was so ignorant," she said, in her defence, explaining that the photographs were taken for an advertisement and she had been paid 3,000 yuan (£300). She said she decided to post them on the internet to attract more commissions and followers.

A court in Fengtai, Beijing, found her guilty of falsely impersonating a policewoman on Monday and sentenced her to nine months in prison, suspended for a year.

Iraqi Iconic Singer Qahtan Al Attar Rejects Fame And Quits


He was loved form the first song, and his fame kept on growing for four decades. He decided to quit the music business 20 years ago, he shuns the spotlight and rejects going back to his earlier career. He turned it all down, the fame, the popularity and the money to live alone in seclusion.

Qahtan Al Attar immigrated to Denmark and made a home there where he has a beard and took a picture in a bakery shop near an oven. some say the store is his, others says it belongs to a friend of his. Qahtan does have a oud and he often performs in private settings.

Qahtan rose to fame in the 70s and according to friends he never liked recording songs, he was lazy and he hated the studio. Even though he is very talented and has a voice that nobody comes even close to, as one fan puts it. He did have a lot of good songs in the 80s that stand tall among the Iraqi classics. Some says he is supper sensitive  he is anti-social, others say he has complexes.

Some stories about him are legendary  he hates street language and insults, if he happens to hear on as he passes on the streets, he loses sleep over it and condemns such harsh language when the Arabic language is so beautiful. He had to walk away form his family and his friends because he appreciated privacy and longed to being along--not an easy thing to get when you live with Arabs.

Qahtan has stopped singing since the early 90s and immigrated to a number of countries until he found himself in the Denmark, a country where he can find all seclusion his soul demands. His story remains one of the mysteries many Iraqis wrestle with and there are those who boast about taking a recent picture of this legend on the streets of his new home.

Dinosaurs Attend The Beirut International Award Festival "BIAF"


Dinosaurs are no longer roaming God's earth but if you were in Beirut last weekend, you would have ran into some of those extinct creatures on a red carpet. This event tells you that those celebrities do not really care about people in trouble around the Arabic world. They do not have the people of Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine on mind--they love themselves so very much.

Beirut International Award Festival (BIAF) was held in the city of Beirut where dozens of Arab entertainers collected awards....and spoke to the media. What has Latifa done in the past two years get an award? And Who is Lubna Abdel Aziz? And Elisa Rahabni takes home another award?

Eighteen people took home BIAF Awards including the legendary singer Hany Shaker--who has not released anything new in more than two years now. The only thing those self-loving and self promoters had to say is smile and pose for cameras, they have also talked a great deal about having real concerns for the Arab people. But that doe snot seem to have stopped them form enjoying themselves in a night of food, music and self-promotion.

I am all for a great time, but this is hardly the time for celebration and big dinner galas. You may say, well, what are they going to do? Nothing, they should just sit at home and pretend they can change nothing, they are no change makers.

مهرجان BIAF يستمر بالتألق في دورته الثالثة

Listen: Rowida Atteiha Hot New Single - Merci رويدا عطية -ميرسي


Rouwaida Attieh took two years off and the break seems to have paid off, she has made her presence now with the release of anew single. Rouwaida is the strongest young female voice form Syria. Her voice is so complex to describe yet so pleasant to hear. She chose a commonly known and used French word to "Merci" as a title for her song. If you remember Rouwaida took part of the first ever Arab singing competition on a reality show Super Star. She was the runner's up.

In this new single you hear Rouwaida telling her man, thanks for all the trouble, and thanks for screwing me over. It plays like a revenge song except it's a sweet song not bitter. I think most of the work has been done in layering the music track, there are so many mixed elements that make this single a dance track. It's not your average demo, but rather a complex track.

This song takes a new real value when you know that Rouwaida has just also came out of a divorce where her husband did not want kids. According to Rouwaida, he husband was more concerned with her career and not the family. Whoever wrote and composed this song deserves a trophy.

One Kuwaiti Writer Wants To Ban Iraqi Music


People of Kuwait are educated, cultured and appreciate the arts. They are pioneers among many Arabs in their high sense of culture and deep sense of anything entertaining. Unfortunately, some voices in the mainstream Kuwaiti culture enjoys living in the past, likes looking backward and takes pleasure in spreading the hate of Iraq.

It was not the people of Iraq who decided to go to war with Kuwait, but rather a mad man who is gone and a regime who no longer exists. Mubarak Almo'asharjy (مبارك مزيد المعوشرجي)--whose last name means a butt hole in Arabic is taking issues with Iraqi dramas being on TV and Iraqi music playing in that country.

Instead of choosing to forgive and look forward, he wants people to boycott their brethren to the North. I am not sure if the author feels the same way about American movies and music. But Mubarak wants Kuwait to boycott all things cultural form Iraq. Mubarak is hardly the only one to pull such a stunt, many pick on Iraqi's better known artists Kathm Al Saher

  1. Kuwaiti singer Nabel Shoeel puled out of a song about Arab unity and aspirations because he learned Kathem Al Saher--an Iraqi will take part of the same song.
  2. The same singer in 2010 took a swap at Kathem and asked him to donate his very expensive watch to benefit the Iraqi children. Kathem does a lot of work and raises a lot of money for different Arab causes
  3. Promotional posters for a Kathem album in the streets of Kuwait has generated a number of lawsuits--even though the company that produces and promotes Kathem's albums is a Saudi one.
Kathem was classy about it and never answered with hate, he has always wished such voices well and had nothing but praises for his peers and people of Kuwait. This is why he might be more successful and more likable than his critics.

To be fair, most people in Kuwait have moved on their lives and have turned the page. Iraq has apologized and to the best of their efforts they have tried to make it right.  But Iraq is not the only one that gets hate letters form some tiny faction in Kuwait  during the bombing of Gaza at least two columnists wrote articles in which they celebrate it Israel and blamed Palestinians for the violence. 

Lionel Messi, Ronaldo & Iniesta nominated for 2012 Fifa Ballon d'Or


Fifa and France Football have announced that Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo are the remaining three candidates in the running for the 2012 Fifa Ballon d'Or.

The Argentine has netted an impressive 82 goals since January.

Messi helped Barcelona to the Copa del Rey in 2011-12, while also guiding Argentina to top spot in their 2014 World Cup qualification section.


Ronaldo played a key role in Real Madrid's Liga triumph last term with his 46 league goals, and also made it to the semi-finals of Euro 2012 with Portugal.

Iniesta, meanwhile, triumphed with Spain at last summer's European Championship, as well as winning the Copa del Rey with the Blaugrana.

A Belgian Discovers His Wife Used To Be A Man After 19 Years


A Belgian is seeking to have his marriage annulled after discovering that his Indonesian wife of 19 years had been born a man.

The man, only named as Jan, married Monica, his family's former au pair in a previous marriage, in 1993 despite legal difficulties raised by the Belgian immigration authorities.

But it was only in recent weeks that he discovered that his wife had originally been a man and had undergone a sex change.

"I feel I've been assaulted," he told the Het Nieuwsblad newspaper.

"I brought her to Belgium. That was not easy. The Belgian courts had serious doubts about the authenticity of her birth and her identity papers, but eventually they accepted it anyway. I thought she was an attractive woman, all woman. She had no male traits."

Jan, 64, said that he and his wife had decided not to have children because he had two by his previous marriage and she fooled him by pretending to menstruate, using sanitary towels, "to conceal the truth".

"Even during sex, I never noticed anything," he said.
For many years the couple lived a normal family life and Monica, 48, was like a "big sister" to his children until their marriage started to come under strain when she got a new full-time job.

"Monica began to change very much," he said.

"My oldest son saw her sometimes at a nightclub. She began to wear very flashy clothes, those ultra-short skirts or tiny tops, so her abdomen was completely exposed."

Finally rumours began to surface and after Jan found "amorous messages" from other men on her computer, he confronted her in a violent row that led to the police being called.

"A friend told me that he had heard that Monica was actually a sex-changed man. I could not believe it. My son heard similar rumours," he said.

"I pushed her against the wall and said: Now I know the truth. Are you a man? She then announced that she was born as a boy and that she had been operated on. She was now a woman, and so she did not need to tell me about her past as a man. My world collapsed. That evening came to blows. The police came."

Jan, who is undergoing psychiatric treatment following the discovery, has started legal proceedings to have the marriage annulled but the Belgian courts have so far refused to allow him to turn her out of the familiy home.


Wow,this is really serious,put this man in your shoe..what will you do?

WATCH: Amanda - Feinak / أماندا - فينك Turning Up The Heat





Directors find it a lot easier filming music videos in parking lot, this way they have more control, less people moving around and better set management. So Amanda could film her music video underground wearing that glitter filed suit of hers. Amanda is from the gracious country of Lebanon where she has also filmed her debut music video. AMANDA is a new kid in the Lebanese pop neighborhood her first single 'Feinak' hit the airwaves and her music video is below.

For starter, the beat of the song is very exciting, it has the kind of music that feel like the thrill of starting an engine. Clearly guys are stupid, they like cars, and sexy ladies. This formula is cliche but it has been working for over a century of entertainment. I hate to be mean, because Amanda seems like star for this age but this path has been explored many times before. This is her happy moment and this is her first song, so let's cheer her on. She is a highly educated young woman who speaks three languages. In the song she is looking for her knight and shining armor

Amanda should stop chasing fame this way, she doe snot seem natural at it and this might be great news for Amanda the person not the artist. I see a solid career in modeling and in advertising for Amanda, the pop scene now is sort of like a death march. Maybe she can do both and settle on where she finds herself the most. This is her first music video--something she prepared and trained for for months.  

While the yellow suit turned me off, the blue outfit brought me back. Amanda is even heating thing up when she took that dress off to reveal even sexier dress. As for the song, it's your average dance pop song, nothing to make you say "wow", but the music video has plenty of those.
