I do find it interesting that there are dozens of other nations on this planet with human rights records many, many times worse than Israel, but no one ever mentions them, and no stars call for their boycott.
But of course, it's not about t3h j0000z (/sarc)
(also be interesting to see how many posts it takes before the triple brackets start showing up. :P
Peter Gariel was last relevant when? The 1980’s?
“Dame Vivienne Westwood, Peter Gabriel and Wolf Alice...”
I’ve heard of Peter Gabriel. He hasn’t put out anything decent in a long time. But these other two? Never frickin’ heard of them.
These people aren’t particularly helping the Palestinians, any more than the people in the established Arabic nations show their concern by their policies. The real issue is that at least a minority of Jews are still God’s people, believing what they are taught in the Torah. It is their religiosity that makes the world hate them.
Peter Gabriel?
He’s still alive?.......................
Has anyone here been privvy to the Eurovision song contest ?
It’s like an American Idol where the winners get to get out of their ghetto hovels and live in luxury. The Black Mirror “a million credits” or whatever was based on it.
Eurovision is a multi-media contest and the winner gets to tour around and somehow represent Europe while living in some upgraded state-sponsored position.
The left does the same thing here though don’t they. Building a wall is oppressive, we should allow terrorists into the USA so they can kill us. Anything that threatens a free society should be supported, all kind of criminals, drug runners, terrorists, are all oppressed, yes we took their land and it should all be returned but of course allow them to partake in the capitalist system set up by white people as well.
Jew haters. OK, I’m throwing my Peter Gabriel album away.
Who? Has beens ? Wanna bes? Who cares?
Regressive Leftists reflexively sh*t on and ruin everything, including their own professions.
Has also been hosted by Azerbaijan. Talk about outsourcing.
Move it to Tehran! It’ll be the final show!
I like that the headline conveys the hysteria of the stars: that Israel is “occupied Palestine,” that they don’t believe Israel has a right to even exist.
A better argument: Why is Eurovision being held in Asia?
As for the stars mentioned:
Mike Leigh is a director, not a singer, so ??? Never heard of a single movie of his, except Vera Drake, notable only as a hagiography of an illegal abortion provider.
Miriam Margoyles played Professor Sprout (a minor character) in the Harry Potter movies. Also known for porn voiceover according to Wikipedia, and playing Dame Maggie Smith’s left eyeball on Family Guy.
Vivienne Westwood made clothes for the Sex Pistols.
Wolf Alice is an alt-rock band that peaked at #190 on the Billboard charts, but are somewhat more popular in the U.K. From the Wikipedia images, the lead singer went from looking like a winsome 22-year-old to looking 50 in the space of three years.
I wonder if there is a puppeteer who pull the strings of the leftist artists and make them dance the way they do? One thing is for sure it is all in unison... no questioning, no weighing the issues, no musing or speculation outside the box... just lock step adherence. Something pulls the mind down to this form of rigidity. I really don’t think these people are real anymore, they’re just projected to the public to convey an enviable reality. They are shells of their former selves. Peter Gabriel was brilliant risk taker in the initial band Genesis, but now he has burnt out his candle. He, as the line Blanch recites in A Streetcar Named Desire, has to rely on the benevolence of strangers. And the same goes with other artists who really are now just hanger-on-ers. The Fall from Grace and the promise of a return, is the biggest poison they swallowed and fear keeps them there. Fear. That is the puppeteer’s best tool.

Move it to Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia. Tell the gay performers to stay home. The women to watch their back.
What? Roger Waters was too busy? Rest assured, he was hating Israel in spirit.
