It’s not a protest vote. We have had an independent MP in Indi for well over 10 years now, it’s better for our electorate.

He did criticize the divestment thing and play in Israel recently.
Well yes you right you should be able to play anywhere but by the same token if taking money for playing in such places makes you a fair target also, it is not just about the money but a principle also that is unless you agree with what the Israeli govt is doing.
Overnight the Israeli govt bombed nth Gaza causing anything up to a 100 deaths so as as musician when do you take a stand ? I myself would suggest the time has come and gone.

Not all Israelis agree with the war, it's not like he did a solo for the IDF.
I think that shows that he has a political position on the matter and as such he is fair game for anyone who has different view of things and want,s to argue the point. If performing in Israel for money is okay then so is criticism for such action as this, the bloke paid his money to see him and waited till the end of the show and then unloaded on him,no more than he deserved in my opinion.

He didn't have to mouth off at the protester. He obviously favours money before ethics.

All he asked was for the guy to come up and ask him to speak to his face, rather than sit in a crowd calling him to blame for a genocide. It was a shit act by the protester, by all means shout Free Palestine and what not, but again, to lay any blame on this on an artist is shit.
I was there the night before, and if the guy was sitting near me that night I'd call him out too.

He called him up to the stage to get bashed by security, sorry but Thom York is a prick.
Ironic his last song was karma police too.
You are right but as the vote on UNHRA showed they are very much in a minority and with some these settlers running around with sub machine gun,s it probably is not safe to openly voice an opposing opinion.

No he didn't, ffs.
Anyway, much greater tragedies are happenning in Palestine right now for anyone to focus on what a musician sang in Melbourne.

ireland has been a shining light in calling out the terrorist state of israel. the terrorist state abides by no rules, and yet the yanks still fund them. shame on them and the other countries who aren’t calling Israel out for the morally and ethically bankrupt place it is

Sadly yes Israel as a whole is a very dark place. It needs to stop killing it's neighbours and all Settlers can happily be disposed of as far as I'm concerned.

I think the best protest would be to stack 16,000 bags of sand outside the White House with the children's names on them.

No one seemed to batter an eyelid when a classical pianist was cancelled by the melbourne symphony orchestra over his pro palestinian stance and performance.
The reality is the israeli jewish lobby use more technical and sophisticated means to censure others and promote their opinions in australia.
Peter Garrett to review Melbourne Orchestra amid Zionism fallout
Musician and former Arts Minister Peter Garrett has been appointed to conduct a review of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra following internal controversies.
The Irish prime minister is exactly right about Israel,s intentions towards Gaza and the thing is it is not safe for a journalist or an aid worker to go there because the IDF murder them and we have seen this recently,they have even started taking pot shots at UN peacekeepers in Lebanon which does have international reporters on the ground.
Which ever you look at Israel they are proven cowards who only strike targets who cannot fightback as was shown by their recent performance in Iran or rather against Iran because their pilots fled before reaching Iranian territory when it became obvious that Iran,s air defences would have shot them out of the sky.
It is plainly obvious that Israel,s military domination is being called into question and this is why they talk about strategic nuclear strikes.
He last played there in 2017.
labelling Thom Yorke a zionist because he played a gig in 2017 is a stretch. We live in such a lovely binary world though.
Again - 2017. And Jonny Greenwood is married to an Arab jew born in Iraq. There is nuance
