“I mean, it’s clearly not working in Israel at the moment,” he said. “In my view, it sort of emboldens the worst aspects of the current government. They exploit this isolationist thing, like ‘The whole world is against us. No one will come and play.’ It’s used to further their nefarious agendas, while, at the same time, punishes ordinary fans.”
That's a good point, we wouldn't want to punish the poor ordinary fans. Who live in Israel. In illegal settlements.
At least its not hard to boycott Nick Cave. Been doing that forever
Genuinely have no clue who this guy is lol anyway back to boycotting him lol
Imagine if the singer from Type O Negative did indie hipster flannelcore shit
Is he as outwardly as fash as Petet Steele was?
I'd describe his politics as "pessimist hippie"
it's not a cultural boycott and that's the fucking point. it's a targeted deprivation of profits from capitalists to extract concessions, and it is provably effective. "cultural boycott" is just nonsense anyway, what does it mean to boycott a culture, especially a nonexistant isntraeli one
The fact that governments everywhere are banning BDS tells me that it's extremely effective. If it didn't work they wouldn't care.
Guarantee "cultural" was just the modifier he tacked on to preempt the very obvious facts that boycotts do work
Just like China Hawks started calling it "cultural genocide" when it got too transparently ridiculous to call vocational schools genocide.
Genocide is a key component of Israeli culture, as pointed out by US lawmakers. To oppose genocide is a cultural boycott of Israel, and it harms Israelis by making them feel like targets.
Look, trying to punish ethnic cleansing, genocide, and aparthied sounds good and all, but have you considered that it's actually quite inconvenient to me?
Settlers in the genocidal entity of Israel are missing out on their favorite artists? Boohoo
Seems like a bad seed
This is a real person? I thought he was just a character in Portal.
Gee guess I'll continue to not give a shit about this wanker
rich poser shithead loves genocide, too much of a coward to admit it
I cannot fucking wait for Nick Cave to die
Who?
Is this the guy who make combustible lemons to burn your house down?
