Artists should not support regimes that condone violence and injustice against others. By going to Israel, what message is Shakira sending to the world? I thought she is one of the few pop singers and entertainers who actually understand the complexity of the world. She is an intellectual person so her decision to go to Israel and taker part of a PR campaign to improve the image of the state of Israel makes no sense.
The truth about Israel's crimes against the people of Palestine and Lebanon (Shakira's heritage homeland) are clear as the sun...and we know the sun came out in Shakira's last tour, there is no need to send the sun packing with this kind of free for all Israel love fest media bonanza, it's simply uncalled for.
Here's what you can do now...
