About 500 people gathered outside of the GrandWest Casino in Cape Town, South Africa to protest a Pharrell Williams performance yesterday (September 21), New York Daily News reports.
The protesters were objecting to the rapper-producer’s ties with Woolworths, a South African food and clothing retailer who emphasizes giving back to the community. Pharrell is serving as style director and is assisting in fundraising for education.
The protesters, led by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel movement, were upset over the company’s business with Israel.
“By working with Woolworths, Pharrell supports Israel, a country that supports the oppression of Palestine, a country that is the new apartheid state,” Ashraf Salie, one of the protestors said.
Some of the signs held by the protesters read, “Pharrell is welcome if Gaza is free” and “Pharrell and Woolworths have blood on their hands.”
The company says that it does not get its food from Israeli-controlled areas of Palestine. It says that less than 0.1 percent of its food comes from Israel.
The concert went on as planned and was promoted on Woolworth’s social media.
Israel and Palestine have been in violent conflict for decades, according to the BBC. Israel became a country in 1948, but was not recognized by the Palestinians who occupied the area. The territory of Gaza is the area most in question. Israel left its presence in the region in 2005, but controls the surrounding areas and has formed a blockade so that it is very difficult to get in or out.
For additional Pharrell coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
“Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It’s not and King was an idiot for saying such a volatile and moronic statement, but he was hardcore Christian so it wasn’t surprising. Also, Arabs are also Semites.
MLK never said that. It’s proven to have been a hoax. Zionists are more or less devils.

The middle east will never have peace until the apartheid state of Israel is called out worldwide for it’s racist policies. Free the Gaza Strip an the West Bank
Free Kashmir!
Hi
The Gews in Israel today are fake gews. Revelations 2:9 and 3:9 exposes them as the synagogue of satan. Do your research and you will see that these “gews” are Khazar, Roman Edomites. Christ is against their establishment and debauchery. The gews played a dominant role in the slave trade as well. Deut 28 says the children of Israel would be sold into slavery by means of slave ship. Wonder who that could be…
………………….,bwahahahahaha. Stfu you bible thumping weirdo

This article is very poorly researched. The last paragraph in particular is simply incorrect. Both in its reference to Palestinians ‘occupying’ and it’s assertions regarding Gaza as the main contested territory. Very poor journalism.
