The people who do like selling art don't like making it, which is why they don't appreciate the effort of those who make it. But the lifelessness of the efforts of those who can successfully make what they sell speaks for itself.
Years ago I was frustrated with "activism incorporated" and its tendency to use people and throw them away, but I realized it's just another "institution" that requires the problems it 'represents' to perpetuate to keep the revenue coming in.
It is probably impossible to be an artist of any kind and be totally immune to outside opinion. Still, be yourself. Consider other opinions, and consider their source, especially on the internet, and then take the criticism or leave it. In the end, you have to live with yourself, whatever you do. If you're satisfied with the outcome, the process, and/or the learning experience, then the thoughts of others don't matter so much.
Emily, don't dwell on this shit because you could end up with permanent psychological damage. Israel are terroists and thugs, the only reason the US 'care' about them is a strategic hold in the middle east. They're not worth wasting mental energy on. Don't take prozac btw, it's more likely to make you self harm than cure depression. America are just as guilty for Palestinian oppression, have you ever thought of moving to Canada? It's a much saner place.
Hmm, I really like your ending thought. Well done.

Why do I have a feeling that I will see you on the news someday? Most likely as a leader of a shadowy rebel group who fights against the system.

That was great, the statement you made at the end. Your singing wasn't half bad either. :)
