Yorke said in a statement in 2017 before a show in Tel Aviv.
You kind of left out the most important part. I don’t think Israel’s current genocide is in anyway equivalent to a trump presidency, the comment sounds bloody ignorant without the context.
That being said, there’s no need to start heckling about it when the guy hasn’t been there since 2017. I will however judge harshly any artist that goes there after what has happened in the last year. Israel deserves a boycott.
If we’re gonna do that, boycott every artist that plays in the u.s. why do you guys like to act like your hands are clean while pointing your finger at others? Your country fucked up mine in the very recent past and not a single but of responsibility has yet to be taken, you don’t get to moralize to the rest of the world
I applaud your pushback. Until Americans are denied travel visas we wont examine our own actions, and our slow and steady creep toward open fascism will continue.
With our too big ocean borders and large military, America cant be confronted militarily, it has to be dipllomatically. Money is the only thing capitalism values. I also think a new UN should be started without veto authority by the ‘great powers’. China and Russia are no better and also need containment.
Americans don’t travel enough to give a shit about travel visas. The people who’d be most hurt by limiting those would be the people most likely to have some sense that other countries even exist at all other than as places to bomb or exploit for cheap labor.

I wish I could boycott my own country. I’m very aware of the terrible things that have been done and I will be the first to draw attention to them.
That being said, staying silent about genocide just adds to the blood, it doesn’t take it away.
