Yorke was asked whether he would play in Israel with Radiohead again. “Absolutely not,” he replied. “I wouldn’t want to be 5,000 miles anywhere near the Netanyahu regime but Jonny has roots there. So I get it.”
As long as someone has german roots it’s ok to have concerts in nazi germany
“I would also politely disagree with Thom,” Greenwood responded. “I would argue that the government is more likely to use a boycott and say, ‘Everyone hates us – we should do exactly what we want.’ Which is far more dangerous.”
“It’s nuts,” he added. “The only thing that I’m ashamed of is that I’ve dragged Thom and the others into this mess – but I’m not ashamed of working with Arab and Jewish musicians. I can’t apologise for that.”
They already do whatever they want, you’re complicit if you keep visiting, and you’re not barred from playing with Arabs and Jewish people elsewhere, what a way to twist the narrative
Also, what are they pretending is the good of not boycotting Israel? That Israel will be too scared to genocide people even harder than its recent approach? But then, what if it does and then gets boycotted, then isn’t it again true that “everyone hates them,” etc? Would the desired result not be that it pulls back? But if boycotting them could make them pull back, then why not do it now, when they are still genocidal? And if you can only threaten to boycott and never actually do it, then you can’t threaten to boycott at all because it’s an empty threat.
Yup, it’s just sophistry. The entire position is “I don’t care about this and I want to keep doing harmful shit without thinking about that harm” and any other logic espoused is done entirely as a dishonest attempt to get people to stop talking about it. It reminds me of what carnists do any time you dig into the inherent contradiction between exploiting animals and being what any of us would consider a good person. They make arguments not with the intent to communicate a coherent/logical position, but with the intent to shut down criticism of their actions so that they don’t have to think about and attempt to reconcile irreconcilable differences between their beliefs and their actions.
Guitarist Ed O’Brien, meanwhile, had his say on the issue, claiming: “We should have played Ramallah in the West Bank as well.”
Help I’m being witch hunted just for being a witch
I turned everyone into a newt, and now they are angry with me for no reason
Good. Stay awake asshole
Stay woke
:kelly:
I love when people loudly state their opinions multiple times over years, then when people find it abhorrent they call it a witch hunt. Motherfucker you were on a stage with a microphone, no one was sneaking into your house to read your diary. Witch hunt = listening to me when I’m speaking I guess
“Look, I have been to anti-government protests in Israel and you cannot move for all the ‘Fuck Ben-Gvir’ stickers,” Greenwood continued
Very weird for a legitimate grassroots protest to be swamped with stickers which are a bit spendy to produce compared to traditional placard which are free or cheap. If you’re at such a posh “anti government” protest that’s not exactly endearing.
It may not be comprehensive but search engine suggests a couple of sports events where people had t shirts “FCK BNGVR” who were protesting inefficient retrieval of the Oct 7 abducted Israelis I.e. the underlying message being “kill more Arabs”.
Like fuck this guy has ever been to any protest. if so sounds like more of a Klan rally. he is so turned around he thinks it makes him sound good.
They have been trying to push the west germany defence of “guys hitler tricked us all, we really hated him!!11” and libs and slurping it up.
Yes, the multimillionaire psued who invited criticism by supporting a transparently genocidal regime is the real victim in all of this.
Good.
The real victim. Holy shit. Fuck this guy. And making (supposedly, never cared for it myself) good music doesn’t make you special lol. Fucking idiot loser piece of shit
Make fascists sleepless again
never sleep again for all I care. these self-important jokers
I hope Thom Yorke starves to death
Can’t even stand to listen to their music anymore, I used to really dig their shit. Fuck those guys
Fuck Radiohead and their pretentious as fuck music.
