Stars call for ceasefire in Gaza

Summary
Singer Annie Lennox is joining a team of famous people who are trying to make their stand about the war in Gaza. The violence in the middle east is continuing for years already. Over 13.000 people in Gaza had to leave their homes since the attacking began.
Lennox said that she is very shocked by footage of the war and of people being killed. The MCB (Brittain’s largest Muslim group) had said that they will not be attending any of the briefings that Lennox is planning because they do not agree. Lennox gave a very emotional speech in which she said that she hopes there will change a lot of things in a positive way.

My opinion
I think it is a great idea that famous people use there famousness to manipulate people in a positive way. There are a lot of people who are really influenced by famous people.
The war in Gaza is a horrible thing and the fact that it gets the attention it needs is very good. More people should be aware of the harm that is done to a lot of other people. When you see the harm done to people on TV. It is a different story than when you see it true the eyes of a real person. The fact that Lennox gets very emotional telling her story is evidence of the impact it has made.
