Agreed. Also the article makes it clear Thom Yorke disavowed Netanyahu back in 2017. Thom Yorke has always struck me as a lefty, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s spoken out against the war on Gaza more recently too.
Whether he and Radiohead should totally write off performing in Israel entirely is worthy of debating I think. But some random Aussie interrupting their Australian show is somewhat of a bummer for the other attendees who likely paid an arm and a leg for tickets, and many ppl who go to concerts do so to have fun and forget about the world’s ailments for an evening.
I don’t endorse this comment any more than I endorse Trump or Netanyahu, but I won’t downvote it.
Did I just disavow your comment?
Agreed. Alll Israeli money is blood money. Also, why should the population that supports (80%) and celebrates genocide ever know another moments peace?
I don’t disagree, but that wasn’t really the point I was making.
His comment didn’t “disavow” Netanyahu in any way, just said they can play in places where they don’t support the current leader. Are they also playing concerts in Russia? North Korea? Afghanistan?
They obviously draw a line somewhere.
Fair enough. Definitely a good point to make.
