Why do you get all the knobs at Glastonbury?

Kneecap and now this.....There are some absolute fits playing at Glastonbury and I am sure there are some virtue signalling loons cheering this.

Hope turnpike throw the book at them.

Particularly as Starmer has a duty to stamp out antisemitism, given his own party is riddled with it.

Quite. Most of them though, probably have no idea what it means. It’s like 1984, the tribal chanting. Grim.

So Israel don’t want to kill of starve the Palestinians of bomb hospitals? Well they could just open it up let the international press in and be done with it.

🙌🏻

Death to the IDF is clearly incitement but I can't feel any sympathy or concern for an army that murders children. They have crossed a red line that there is no way back from they deserve no respect. They are big enough and bold enough to cope with some chants from drunk drugged up concert goers at Glastonbury

A massacre has been eclipsed? A massacre is never capable of being eclipsed and it says everything about the person saying it.

Nearly 20 years ago. And how do we know it was a fair election.

"I think the issue is governments. Whoever is in control. Hamas, Netanyahu, Trump, Starmer. They decide. They are the ones to be held accountable ultimately for whatever they lead their own people into."

So Hamas were voted in by the majority of Gazans. Trump was voted in by the majority of US voters. Starmer was voted in by UK voters and Netanyahu was voted in by Israeli voters.

That's how democracy works.

Good job the law doesn't agree with you.

Not exactly a free democracy in Israel though is it? Palestinians living under Israeli rule don’t have the right to vote. Shocker!

But that doesn't answer the point as to why people are mainly only protesting against the war involving Jews. Given the many wars around the world.

Presumably the UK government doesn't agree with you that Israel is a murderous oppressive regime. I have no idea. We are just the little people.

It went a little bit beyond 'expressing concern', unless you're suggesting Lucy Connolly was also 'expressing concern'.

Here's a novel idea. Why don't the bands at these music festivals stick to what they know - music. People go to these events to let their hair down. Escapism from the news and other stuff going on. Not to be lectured by a bunch of people who probably know nothing other than what they are fed by palestinian terrorist sympathisers and use their music platform to spout their irrelevant opinions...

Yes I agree. But logically you are therefore saying that we are all responsible for the actions of our own governments. So all Palestinians are responsible for the actions of Hamas.

Populations are being screwed by their leaders. And that includes us.

Irrelevant and hate aimed at one group.

Arabs in Israel have the same vote as Jewish people.

If you're in the occupied areas you don't get a vote because they voted for Hamas and them Hamas ceased elections because they're totalitarian Islamists. That's not Israel's fault - that's how Palestinans chose to live.

Oh I'm not talking about the law, the law will do its job but hopefully it will encourage people to learn about some of the atrocities committed by the IDF most recently shooting unarmed innocent civilians trying to get aid. Let's hope the law catches up with those too and justice is served.

Yes I agree. But logically you are therefore saying that we are all responsible for the actions of our own governments.

We literally are.

Israel are the oppressors.
That long predates October 7th hence the term Occupied Territory.

Again dehumanizing Palestinians because anyone who does not want to see them snipered/burned alive/ blown apart/starved is just following a trend .

Because their lives couldn't possibly matter enough that people would actually care about them.

And over 50% of the population of Gaza was under 18 nearly 2 years ago.

Since this has begun nearly 2 years ago the population of Gaza has significantly reduced. Of course no one is willing to give independent stats because there are very few independent people in there.

Music and festivals have always been political. If you can't cope with anything challenging or provocative then stay at home and listen to a boyband.

Yes. So you are saying that the population of any country is responsible for the effects of their own government's actions. I mean, that is the case of course in that they bear the consequences of their government's actions. But are the Palestinians morally responsible for the actions of Hamas? Or the Russians morally responsible for the actions of Putin?

Yes. So no one voted for Hamas unless they were of voting age in 2006. Where Hamas then executed all their opponents indicating the possibility it may not have been a 100% free and fair election....

To be fair there was nothing democratic about Hamas winning the election. They’re a terrorist group. The Palestinians might have ‘voted’ but they didn’t have any choice.

Why people are supporting Hamas, I have no idea. Many Palestinians hate Hamas. They’ve ruined their country - rather than building it up with all the billions of dollars of aid they’ve received over the years (from the west). They’ve built tunnels. One wonders, why?

Clue: It rhymes with mehad.

Music has always been a form of protest and political
Bob Marley did it.
The Beatles
The Cranberries
The Clash
The Doors
The Rolling Stones
Black Sabbath.

The novel idea would be if musicians didn't use their platforms .

" Irrelevant opinions"
Dehumanizing again. It's not irrelevant just because you disagree with it.
