Mid East Israel declare war after Hamas attack III

[Aristotle Pickett]

Again - 2017. And Jonny Greenwood is married to an Arab jew born in Iraq. There is nuance

I didn't realise it was 2017 but Radiohead have ignored 3 boycott calls and Greenwood from Radiohead collaberates with Dudu Tassa who is a zionist.


'In December 2023, Tassa took part in a series of events organized by Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar, and performed in Israeli bases for Israel Defense Forces soldiers fighting in Gaza.[8][9]'

Thom Yorke often admits to being a creep, weirdo, doesn’t belong here etc.

The Karma police will get him

We should all probably start boycotting America then given they fund, supply and offer protection for the whole thing. No more iPhones, Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, cola, McDonalds, US sports, we will need to boycott our own energy supplies and since the USA owns it all, All social media except the stuff China owns but I guess we have to boycott that as well for other reasons and on and on and on........

There is a point where this becomes ridiculous and labelling Thomas Yorke a zionist because Dudu Tessa performed for Israeli soldiers is a long long way past that point.

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.

I remember this and looked at their facebook page where there was heaps of angry people. Sadly mainstream media won't speak out against this kind of hypocricy.

I remember this and looked at their facebook page where there was heaps of angry people. Sadly mainstream media won't speak out against this kind of hypocricy.

If you remember back some time ago, a whatsapp group of about 600 people were "exposed" by an online person becaues she thought it was in the public interest to expose the names of a group of people who were "scheming" against ABC journos etc for their non-favourable attitudes.

Albo responded by introducing legislation immediately to protect the so-called privacy of this group....

People were supposedly incensed by the invasion of privacy, but no one mentioned that 600 people were "conspiring" to put pressure on bodies like the ABC to present the news in a favourable light to this particular ethnic group...

I didn't call Thom Yorke a zionist. It's not that hard to denounce a regime that has killed 16,000 children.

I was just looking around the internet on a related matter and I stumbled about zionism victoria and its affiliates. Two things come to mind
1. I wonder what separates zionism from jewishness. Although I know about the long-held push to get jews back to palestine, but if you're only in a jewish non-zionist association, does that mean that you dont support israel and what it is doing? I hardly think not.

2. The other thing to come to mind is that there are 56 organisations that want to say that they are zionist. There's been a lot of crap about how a significant percentage of jewish australians dont support the current israel gov't, but I dont see the odd statement or the occasional joining with anti-war protesters as anything significant. A list of 56 organisations is far more persuasive to me.

I didn't call Thom Yorke a zionist. It's not that hard to denounce a regime that has killed 16,000 children.

For what it is worth I am really pissed off with the abuse Thom Yorke has received. He is being called a zionist all over socials which is completely absurd. This is a person who has stood up for more than most when it comes to progressive issues.

If we want to reduce the whole of humanity into a series of binary choices between them and us , between red and blue, then the inevitable outcome is we pick our sides and go to war with each other. Which is apparently where we are heading.

Accusing Thom Yorke of being a zionist because he played a show in Tel Aviv 7 years ago is the exact equivalent of calling anyone who supports Palestine a supporter of Hamas. ie. absurd.

I was at last nights show - Yorke did not make a single political statement. Nothing.

 

[Blue1980]

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.

You know what I mean. It isn’t like the US where a 3rd party candidate does **** all.

 

[Blue1980]

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.

Yeah it’s a bit much, it’s not like he went to play a pro Israel concert this year or something.

We supposed to get angry any artist who played in Russia even pre 2022?

Maybe he should have been more sympathetic to the protest

 

[Blue1980]

Maybe he should have been more sympathetic to the protest

I’d agree with that

 

[QuietB]

Maybe he should have been more sympathetic to the protest

Why?

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Why?

Because of the genocide ect

Kogan is one of their financial backers, so boycott Kogan and write to Kogan and let them know you ate boycotting them for their support of Zionism

 

[QuietB]

Because of the genocide ect

So should I go storm the Coldplay concert? Bring the whole thing to a stop and ruin 60,000 peoples night?

It was done at the end of the night. A genocide is more important that a pop concert.

I’m boycotting them cos they’ are shonky

The gov't has advised australians not to travel to israel.....holiday plans for scores of parliamentarians have had to be changed....they're looking for similar destinations where they dont have to spend any money...
