Roger Waters, Cat Stevens, and others are performing in an online concert in support of Palestine!

It starts in a couple of hours, 18:30 GMT.  Tune in if you can.  Here's the link:

While I agree that a concert to let the Palestinians know that the world cares. However, is this the same reason the organisers have in mind? If their reason is to cause a steer which would instigate further uproar, then it's a bad idea.
What do you mean?

They are probably doing this to spread more awareness and most likely they will be giving a percentage of the profit from the concert to give aid to Palestinians. Causing a steer is inevitable. It is a political issue that has been going on for months and yet no one seems to listen. Everyone should be more aggressive and assertive when it comes to expressing our stance.

Let me be humbly clear, I'm not against the concert, infact, I think it's a good idea, but the agenda is my concern, using it as an avenue to spit hell on Israel won't be the best option.

Fighting hate with hate won't eradicate hate, thus, problem would remain unresolved.
