From Madonna, to Charlie Puth to Selena Gomez, the list goes on and on. The music industry is full of Zionists. It's just a matter of time until they're exposed, and the masks fall off.

What does it matter when your hatred is exposed. Go away.

Excellently written! FREE-FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 ❤️🖤🤍💚

Yes. That is the shape of him.

Very well written

Shame on Ed Sheeran - he could easily have withdrawn from the stadium - hopefully the backlash against his inaction and subsequent statement will give courage to other “Stage Stars” in similar situations in the future.

Well done to all who have withdrawn their names from the event - you are hero’s for humanity.

FREE PALESTINE, IF YOU CAN'T SEE WITH UR EYE'S what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon by the Zionist Israel government,then you have no heart for humanity, and As Nelson Mandela said South Africa is not FREE till Palestine is free,FREE PALESTINE ✊️✊️✊️🫡🫡🫡

Ahmed! Excellent writing. ::chef’s kiss:: Stirring. God, STOP THIS GENOCIDE NOW. Free Palestine!!

Excellent work! Thank you, Ahmed, for setting this out so clearly and eloquently. Sheeran’s squirmy self-justifications are shameful and I am so bloody impressed with the musicians who have walked out in response. Really hope those who have bought tickets for the next ES concert shout ‘Free Palestine!’ as loud as they can! 🇵🇸

Sheeran is posing behind a flag that Nazis support! Hilarious. Should have been a 'red flag' then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEejPPAfK0A

Excellent article thank you

An excellently written article. I read it with great interest, thank you very much. However, I would like to make an important correction: HIND IS A PALESTINIAN not – God forbid – an Israeli girl. It is clearly a mistake.

Palestine will be free.

In the past, and not that far back, like the '70's, artists were some of the first ones targetted by military regimes that took control of South America.

In the past, artists used art for what it is: something much bigger than oneself.

For too long modern artists have been selfish, egotistical, greedy little worms who play the right notes, say the right words, and crawl up the right asses.

The trend seems to be changing. And the irony is that Israel did that. It's like the devil himself got too sure of himself and took off his masks, thinking the public won't notice.

We did!

Yes, but Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Palestine aren’t comparable.

Except that Es was happy to be political for Ukraine. Just not for Palastine. But he said he isn't polical all all.

Zelenskyy loves and praises Netanyahu publicly. He has done this repeatedly

M V's avatar

This 💯 And has expressed his vision for Ukraine to become like Israel etc

Mary Evelyn Conner's avatar

And him and his parents have retirement homes in Israel. Zelensky is actively working with Bibi. He has shared their drone technology with Israel, since the war in Iran began. Zelensky is a Zio.

I would be interested in polls of the Ukrainian general public by age demographic and political affiliation on support for Israel and diaspora vs those living there through the war. Is it like it is here: government leaders prioritizing Israel and acting in direct opposition of majority public opinion or do they largely support Israel like Zelenskyy? What are their thoughts on Zelenskyy’s vision for Ukraine emulating Israel? My only experience with this is anecdotal. I lived with a child of a minister in the Ukrainian government who lived half their life abroad (so not really in touch with the current average Ukrainian today), but she was so incredibly supportive of Israel (tbh she was obsessed). After visiting dual-national American-Israeli friends there she was enamored with Israel. Went back multiple times for months on end. She definitely had a highly sanitized version of Israel, but I wonder how she would feel about it today considering no one can claim ignorance to the crimes taking place

They are, in so many ways. And while I get what you were saying, that is not the point here.

Harlow Lombard's avatar

They’re not, in many ways. I know exactly what the point was, and I made another. Thanks for your input.

Even today, the U.S. still try to support the veneer of "democracy".. What's left of it..

That's why it's very convenient for the U.S. to use proxies called "Israel" and "Ukraine" for outsourcing the dirty work of genocide and war..

Leaves some room for plausible deniability.

They absolutely are comparable

Corina Rodriguez's avatar

How not comparable? Russia invaded Ukraine. Israel has been encroaching on Palestino since 1948. And if you believe that Israel deserves Palestinian land because they lived there long ago, well Natives in the Americas and Africans in Diaspora might be interested in your arguments for killing the invaders to repossess their land.

Great article - thank you. The tide has turned and soon it will be the minority who vainly try to silence the truth. You've painted a very clear picture of the slow but relentless progress of morality in the musical world.

Danni Levy's avatar

Music is not just music. How we entertain ourselves matters. What we listen to, watch, how we eat and dress. Every choice is a personal choice for more peace, love, and connection or less. We will not do perfect, but we can do better. So sad how humans so brutally lose themselves. All I can do is be aware and act on what my heart tells me is the best direction to move forward towards.
