Palestine supporters defend Charlotte Church after singer is accused of anti-semitism following Gaza fundraiser
PALESTINE supporters in Wales hit back today at accusations that singer Charlotte Church was anti-semitic for singing at a Gaza fundraiser.
The accusations were made in the Daily Mail and Sun newspapers after Ms Church and a choir of 100 people sang from the River to the Sea at a weekend concert in Bedwas, Caerphilly, raising over £3,000 for Gaza.
Taking to social media, Ms Church said she was in no way anti-semitic: “I am fighting for the liberation of all people,” she said.
