TAYLOR SWIFT: ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE WITHOUT BRAINS?
America is truly a wonderous place where an individual with a modicum of talent can be promoted into becoming a billionaire by media-savvy hucksters.
But, that doesn’t guarantee that individual has the brains and bona fides to address world issues.
Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez attend comedy night for Gaza charityThe funds raised from the comedy show were donated to ANERA (American Near East Refugee Aid)What they say…

Bottom line…
Any charitable donation is filtered through the hands of Hamas.
Celebrities like Taylor Swift, due to their significant cultural influence and reach, have a moral responsibility to understand the difference between good and evil before associating themselves, intentionally or unintentionally, with terrorist groups like Hamas, which can legitimize or amplify terrorist narratives. However, to ask bubble-headed, vacuous celebrities to be well-informed and thoughtful in their actions and words may be too much to ask.
We are all screwed when the young condition their thinking on those they admire rather than thinking for themselves.
