Where did you come from today? From Israel? [Crowd boos] Okay, well listen. I'm gonna say this. I'm very grateful that you're here as humans and I'm treating you as equal humans on earth. Regardless of where you come from or don't come from. Thank you for being here. We're grateful and thank you for being loving and kind. And although it's controversial maybe I also want to welcome people in the audience from Palestine. [Crowd cheers] Because I believe that we are all equally human. Thank you for being here.

lmao this is what they're so upset about. Biggest fucking fake victims on the planet

It says something about Zionists that they consider tame statements just saying Palestinian are equal human beings to be offensive anti-semitism. Really mortifying thing to experience.

I mean, they're trying to cancel Ms. Rachel for saying that kids shouldn't be bombed/starved/murdered

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

No, they're trying to get her arrested.

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago

It's a pretty whatever statement but I guess there were many worse options available so I'll award a rare, narrow, soft-rock W to christopher martin here

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

I would have said this is less than the bare minimum, but judging by the reaction I guess it passes.

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

Gee, I wonder how likely it would be for a Palestinian to be in their audience. Everybody's equal though, right?

i wanna fast-forward to the future where zionists are as hidden as post-ww2 nazis.

obv i'd rather neither exist but if i can't have that future? I'll have one where they're powerless, shamed into silence.

[–] GamersOfTheWorld@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Monkey's paw. They are exactly as hidden as post-ww2 nazis. They go on to work at NATO, DOD, prestigious Euro-American scientific institutions, and in some cases, they become politicians.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

The monkey's paw is already making a furious jerking off motion on that one

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 66 points 1 month ago

is-this milquetoast acknowledgement of Palestinian humanity

Is this antisemitism?

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 57 points 1 month ago

First they end a CEOs marriage, now they’re tilting Zionists, Coldplay are on a roll.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 41 points 1 month ago

He didn't even treat (the zionists) as human beings. Disgusting

Imagine the horror of being treated as less than human. Truly only inhuman monsters would ever do that.

[–] tane@lemy.lol 7 points 1 month ago

Dehumanizing? Lmfao he specifically said he appreciates them as humans

[–] HoiPolloi@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

It's hilarious that they're better on this issue than Radiohead.

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago

got coldplay-ed

cries about it

[–] Lerios@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i never throught i'd have to say it but EXTREMELY critical support for coldplay

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

coldplay is fine😤

music opinion havingbetter than u2 or radiohead, worse than blur/oasis/assorted early 90s britpop

[–] spacecadet@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not even Coldplay think they are better than Radiohead lmao cmon now. But def fuck those talented zionist assholes.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

opinion having contNever said they themselves had good (mine) music taste, only that they have better music

[–] spacecadet@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Coldplay has better music than Radiohead? That's wild, but alas it's all subjective isn't it. Certainly would rather hang out with Chris than Thom at this point

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

spoilerI find coldplay meh with some highlights, but would actively switch off radiohead (although creep by richard cheese is a banger, but that’s neither here nor there for music part)

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

he also said x > Oasis which is objectively false and the worst musical take I've seen since taken: the musical

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

taken: the musical

Holy shit I thought this was real for a sec

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

I heard Coldplay described as Radiohead Lite like 20 years ago and I fully agree with that statement. Coldplay isn’t BAD by any means, but Radiohead has some fuckin bangers of albums and some extremely creative songs.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

The Earth 1 vs Earth 2 talk in politics always annoys me because in neither of the large comic universes they're referencing is Earth 1 "normal" earth!!

They're not the worst offenders, it's Nicole Wallace who does it allllll the time

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Coldplay is manufacturing these stunts to get back into relevancy. The week of the Coldplay Canoodlers, I heard their songs on radio stations when I haven't heard them in years.
