And just to prove the point...

To furthermore build my case for me, this moron from the British band Primal Scream has the following to say on the situation in Israel:
It is often said that the Palestinian issue is so difficult and sensitive that it's better not to get involved. But the truth is, it's not. It's easy. There is no shortage of musicians ready to show their support for the Palestinians at this time in their struggle. Ian Brown, Super Furry Animals, Mogwai, Peter Doherty, Massive Attack (3D is DJing) and many others wanted to join us, but couldn't because of other commitments.

The truth is that most people can see what is taking place on the ground in the Middle East. And they can see who needs our support. Everyone knows who is under the boot and who's got the mouthful of broken glass. The Palestinians are a prisoner nation, refugees and exiles treated like ghosts. Now we want them to feel our solidarity.
The idiot then continues to demonstrate where he got his roots, he tells of his father supporting the Sandinista's in Nicaragua. Well that'll prove your credentials!

Final proof of my point:
The way it looks to us, every Palestinian is a political prisoner - and every Palestinian has the right to be free.
The Way It Looks To Them. There you have it. This ignorant f*ck (sorry, no other word will do) has some image in his head, and he now knows the score. Chalk one up for the media at large, they sure do a hell of a job indoctrinating our impressionable artists.
So sad. Oh well. Never mind.
