what are your thoughts on this whole debacle?
quite frankly I’m sick and tired of artists using concerts etc as some political forum

Sure, and I think with hindsight they may have a different opinion of his 'innocent' mistake.

But they definitely now think he's antisemitic. Do you care about their opinion or not?

Hardly.

I think he is wise.

How is this not genocide? The Israeli government are literally saying they intend to remove all Palestinians from Gaza one way or another. But people are still trying to pretend it’s not a genocide.

Must not ruin a concert by mentioning it though.

Did Dolly Parton use her platform for good? I think it’s universally accepted she did. What were her views on Palestine? Trump? Brexit? Obama? Oil?

She hated trump, that was common knowledge. He did an ai of her and him and got slaughtered for it

Find a quote from her saying that and post it. Surmising isn’t fact. She very very famously kept her politics to herself.

I hope he doesn’t cancel his tour because of this, he’s done nothing wrong whatsoever and is caught up in a situation that’s being exploited and used against him.

Then all those chanting 'from the river to the sea' are also calling for a genocide against Israel, alongside almost every islamic country in the world. Works both ways.

Well, you claim they are. Other opinions are available.

Would you be okay with all Palestinians killed or driven out of Gaza? Do you think “pre-emptive” genocides are fine?

I don’t get why musicians think their views are so terribly important that they need broadcasting to the hoi polloi. Get up there, do your little rap and piss off.

"The cult of Gaza"?

People post some hard-to-read stuff on this awful conflict all the time, but this was pretty soulless.

And when Likud say it?

Israel does lie between the river and the sea though, at present.
For Palestine to do so... you see the issue.

Exactly. Why would we listen more to them than a man shouting in the street?! Please don’t put your life in the hands of a rock and roll band who’ll throw it all away.

Yes publicly supporting Hilary wasn’t enough proof 🙄

The 1977 Manifesto: The original Likud Party Platform stated: "between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty".

Well the issue is they want to erase Palestine, which they are currently doing.

What the hell!!! 😳

That article which I actually read doesn’t prove the point you think it does. She accuses trump of having pms 😂😂😂

You said she publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton. This article is about her publicly clarifying that she had not endorsed either Hillary or Trump. So, yes, it says EXACTLY what I think it says, ie the opposite of your initial claim.

Sorry what do you not understand about this very clear statement? "This morning while I was watching the news I saw many reports that I had endorsed Hillary Clinton," Parton said in a statement. "My comment about supporting a woman in the White House was taken out of context. I have not endorsed Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump."

Do you not understand that support and endorse mean two different things. And I used the first word? And then you shared an article which proved my point and accused me of saying something different?

You said she hated Trump and your evidence was her support for Clinton and this article absolutely quashes that argument.

It really doesn’t.
she calls trump full of pms 😂😂😂 and funnily enough she was right. He’s far more emotional than any woman I know.
have you read that article, as closely and as with much nitpicking as you’ve been reading my statements?!
