Answer to today's trivia question: Pete Seeger is NOT dead...
JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- New York City folks singer Pete Seeger announced his support for the Palestinian movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel last week, the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions and Adalah said in a statement.
Moshe, Pete Seeger supports the boycott.
Pete Seeger? He's NOT dead? Really?
The 92-year-old singer made the news public at his home in New York, saying "I support the BDS movement as much as I can,"
Yes, I think we already know Pete suffers from BDS...
and telling reporters that a virtual rally hosted by Friends of the Arava Institute, an Israeli environmental organization ICHAD says is closely partnered with the Jewish National Fund, did not mean he supported JNF activities.
I support them. But I don't support them. I like tapioca. And butterscotch pudding.
Speaking alongside Seeger, coordinator of ICAHD Jeff Halper, said "Pete did extensive research on this. He read historical and current material and spoke to neighbors, friends, and three rabbis before making his decision to support the boycott movement against Israel.”
...and we figured we'd better get him on the record before he forgot. Or died. |
