In complicated matters, the simplest explenation is almost always the correct one: he supports the genocide but he’s too cowardly to own up to it.
His statement basically said he's against it but is too much of a bitch to vocalize that because he'll get canceled too, something about "not disappointing the fans" by either pulling out or getting pulled by the promoter.
It's a bullshit excuse no matter how you cut it. The truth of the matter is that he was not willing to be inconvenienced by having to cancel his tour in solidarity with people he supposedly agrees with. And if you frame your cancellation as "We cannot proceed with the tour because these venues won't allow us to play because of our support of Palestine." Who are the fans truly going to be mad at? The artists and the bands? Or the corporate-owned venues that are sycophantly siding with genocidal Israel and attempting to stifle free speech?
He supports whatever the billionaires he suckles from do.
I think its the other way around, really, from what he said. Either way, its bad and he's paying for it
It's amazing to me that we are in an era where neutrality is not only not an option, it's worse than picking a side because then everyone on all sides sneers at you for being at best an idiot and at worst a coward.
Won't sooooomeboiooody think of the NEUTRALS!!!!
What's not that amazing is that we're in an era we're being compliant, uninformed, ignorant and nonpolitical are treated as virtues. Because it's been predicted and it's planned, it's not an accident.
Being neutral about something that is happening doesn’t stop it from happening. If you’re not stopping a genocide, you are a bad person. It’s pretty simple.
already too many words spent on this insignificant event..
