RE: Pro or Anti War Pigs?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

From what I read he says it's a complex situation and people have the right to freely choose to perform as an artist and that engaging with people on a personal rather than political level is a better way to create dialogue and make connections. He doesn't believe in punishing the ordinary people of Israel.

He's an intelligent man who thinks deeply and I can really see his point.

But at this stage of the game I don't really think that's good enough.

At the very least, why should Israelis enjoy a fucking concert whilst 'ordinary' children starve? Almost certainly there would be 'ordinary' soldiers there and the world has seen what they've been doing.

I think he's tremendously smart, too. He does have a point, but ultimately, it boils down to this,

why should Israelis enjoy a fucking concert whilst 'ordinary' children starve?

Because to deny any and every modern comfort would be anti-semitism. Duh.

Duh!

You're not letting us have a concert?? It's like the Holocaust all over again!

Too far?
