“We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine,” the duo said on Instagram. “A machine whose own soldiers were told to use ‘unnecessary lethal force’ against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza. We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.”
There is no backlash. It’s manufactured outrage by Zionists and their puppets in media and politics.
That’s probably true of most things people think/say about the IDF at this point. Even my massively zionist “most moral military” aunt is calling it a genocide and is starting to oppose them
I wish my parents paid as much attention as your aunt. The other day they gave me the very good news that all the articles I send them about the genocide are made up! The BBC had to rescind their articles because the sources aren’t trustworthy, they told me. So no genocide at all!

The only thing nazis were right about was when Hitler bit the barrel of his gun. Fuck nazis. Our Jewish brothers and sisters out here in the diaspora are not to blame for what the Israeli fascist regime is doing.
Exactly. Genocide was wrong then and it’s wrong now. It should not even be a question that we all condemn Hitler and his genocidal Nazi regime - just as it should not be a question that we condemn Israel and its genocidal Nazi regime.
The Holocaust of the Jews was a horrific, unforgivable crime. So too is the Holocaust of the Palestinians. This is non-negotiable for any person of conscience.
I think recent polls suggested it was about 50/50 that support what Israel is doing. It was around 80% at the beginning of the war, so many have come a long way. Honestly, sort of similar to the American support of the Iraq War.
Of course not. Those who support the bastard leaders of Israel and their dogs the IDF are complicit in the public opinion of Israel, regardless of faith. Apologies if it sounded like I was mad at all Jews, because that is not my belief.
Edit: Also I believe I mentioned how the Nazis were right about the Jews infiltrating and destroying global politics. For this reason, and for the lack of action by the governments of the West, I reject them.
These rich fucks have corrupted it, They are using the jewish state and name, to what? To make a fucking private beach town.
The IDF are Nazis and committing genocide daily.
People chanting: “Death, death to the IDF!!” Is the bare minimum repercussion that’s to be expected. More people should join in!
Anyone defending or censoring for the IDF if a fucking goose stepping fascist.
So their US visas got revoked. Meh. Who needs to go to the US anyway, who needs to be interrogated by some fascist chode at the border.
Sadly, they will probably be convicted of some sort of hate speech and sent down.
A punk band is not real because they say they are real. A punk band is real when they speak truth to power. Big ups to Bob Vylan for putting their mouth where their money is.
Bob vylan doesn’t have to say it. The trump administration said it to the world they would do this

Let’s be precise here: the IDF, being an occupying army, under international law is absolutely a legitimate target for violent armed Palestinian resistance. Legitimate target of violent armed resistance. Period.
Bob Vylan are not calling for the destruction of an ethnicity, a religion, a nation. They are calling for the destruction of a genocidal army. Just like the South African Defence Forces of the South African Apartheid era absolutely deserved to be destroyed as a criminal organization, so do the Israeli Defence Forces of the Israeli Apartheid era.
Conscription was also mandatory in Apartheid South Africa for whites. This does not absolve the whites who participated in Apartheid. Jewish history itself teaches us that “following orders” is not an excuse for carrying out a genocide. It is clear in fact, that the mandatory nature of the conscription is a mechanism for making all Israelis complicit, and should be a target for abolition by Israelis of conscience themselves, again, just like in Apartheid South Africa. And of course, it fucking is.
Death to apartheid and death to its institutions. Never again this shit, for anyone, anywhere.
We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people.
He does know people can just read his lyrics, right?
If you’re referring to the “Death to the IDF” chant, let’s be extremely fucking precise here: the IDF, being an occupying army, under international law is absolutely a legitimate target for violent armed Palestinian resistance. Legitimate target of violent armed resistance. Period.
And Bob Vylan are not calling for the destruction of an ethnicity, a religion, a nation. They are calling for the destruction of a genocidal army. Just like the South African Defence Forces of the South African Apartheid era absolutely deserved to be destroyed as a criminal organization, so do the Israeli Defence Forces of the Israeli Apartheid era.
Yea you should try reading them
It’s clear you cannot.
