In England, Palestinian cause draws Gwyneth, Kate, other celebs

Here's a piece in the London gossips on the Hoping Foundation— "an organization that is dedicated to showing Palestinian refugee
children that their struggle to transform their lives is encouraged and
supported by people in Britain and throughout the rest of the world." Writes Anees of Jerusalem:

I found out about the HOPING Foundation over two
years ago, from a Guardian interview with Massive Attack (a band), who were throwing concerts in the UK to benefit them. It was
founded by Bella Freud (Sigmund's great granddaughter), a fashion
designer
and Karma Nabulsi, an
Oxford professor and ex PLO member.
It's shocking to me it's happened at all!
Who would believe that celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Moss
were singing for Palestine?But yeah, I do believe it has a much slimmer chance of happening in the US.

I think this is a post about culture. American popular culture and the significance of Jews in making it. Don't want to step on their toes. But that's changing.
