"Both sides." "Hopes and prayers." "I am a victim, too."

Man, I never knew he was an ass.

Honestly, unless it becomes news I never dig down into a band enough to know whether or not one member or an another are pieces of shit.

The last time I remember was the front man from Queens of the Stone Age having multiple instances of attacking photographers at his show, which turned me off of QotS after that.

Sadly, I love Radiohead, but there's no way I can conscientiously listen to Radiohead now.

Now it makes me nervous who else I listen to is a douche. Well, douche I can deal with to an extent, but genocide denial is a whole other level of fuckery.

Edit: From reading the article he is critical of Israel, but in that 'both sides' type of rhetoric, and doesn't mention genocide at all, but regrettable lose of thousands of life. Which is the same wishy-washy rhetoric that many in the mainstream media use that don't want to be accused of being anti-semites or pro-Hamas. Which basically amounts to denial but in an indirect way.

Ugh, I don't see why at least one major figure can't just grow some fucking balls and tell Israel to go to hell outright. Seems like everyone in the mainstream is so damn mealy-mouthed about this issue, it's absolutely insane how much sway Israel has over the media in the US and Western countries in general.
