I was at the concert, front row, one of the best experiences of my life. I think there was one moment, during No Surprises, that can empathize the situation. Thom sings "bring down the government, they don't speak for us" only for a massive cheer from the audience. The Israeli audience knows that the government does not reflect on them as people, Israel's government has done some dark unjustified shit, and killed thousands of innocents. But the 50K people that were at the concert do not support any of it. And the same thing goes for Radiohead, even though they played in Israel - they didn't play music for the government, they played for the people. I am super grateful that Radiohead are mature enough to distinguish government and people.

Hi Anthony, I'm an Israeli citizen. been a fan of your channel pretty much since you started. love your new think pieces channel. You're dead on point with this one and let me explain. most of the israelis are just everyday normal-like human beings as in all of the world and like you mentioned, feel very alienated from the politicians, like in america and basically most of the world. most israelis feel and understand the suffering of palestinians in gaza and the west bank. the divide is on the solution, and wether the responsibility or the blame of the current situation is mostly ours or mostly theirs, whereas deep down everybody knows the blame's kinda on both sides. so with that in mind, like you said, denying a rock concert to the everyday normal person thinking it would change anything, is moronic and utterly dumb. and like you said, there are probably more reasons to boycott america. that being said, you should also bare in mind this: ken loach, roger waters and co will never boycott america, or china, or other big countries because of how big the market there is. israel, being the very small piece of land that it is, israelis are 7 million and palestinians 1 million and half - who cares about this very small market? so for them its actually genius, you pretty much dont do anything, you say you will never come here - and you gain political power or popularity. lastly I will say, we all want peace here, let that be clear and well known.

Cool vid, mate. I'd also like to add that Thom Yorke said that music shouldn't build borders between countries, rather bring them together ( I think that's what he said). It seems that people treat this as something that could trigger some war, despite it only being an hour long concert. I also completely agree with you saying that, by boycotting Israel, many could argue that you could boycott America, based on the same logic. In fact, it could be argued that (with that logic) musicians cannot play anywhere. It seems rather strange to me.

What this kind of reminds me of is the rebel sports tours to South Africa during their apartheid era, where they were banned from playing international cricket and rugby. Several sides from places like England, New Zealand and Australia went over there to play unofficially and attracted a lot of negative coverage over it. The difference there was that the South African sports boards were actively supporting the apartheid regimes. What triggered the boycotts was that they refused to play England because one of the players was a Cape Coloured South African who had been playing cricket in England. One of the other differences was that one of the rebel cricket sides was from the Caribbean and was obviously filled with black players. By going over there and playing they were effectively validating apartheid politics. There's none of that at work with Radiohead playing in Israel. While I don't like the idea of it myself, ultimately I don't think playing a concert is in any way supporting the Palestine situation and so there isn't anything """wrong""" with it.

I agree essentially with your points, but I think we shouldn't let Thom Yorke off so easily. Thom's response to criticism has been reactionary and resentful. If the good in Radiohead performing in Israel is supposedly to influence dialogue or change, what does Thom flipping off people (presumably also fans, but not necessarily) holding up Palestinian flags at their concert, growling resentfully "some fucking people.." into the microphone, accomplish? I agree that isolation of a group of people is not necessarily effective for change or dialogue, but it seems that Thom's behavior (tied to Radiohead's performance) will only encourage resentment of criticisms, resentment of any call for change, and resentment of the Palestinian people. Like you said, people here as elsewhere don't need much motivation to ignore global issues that seem far off (or that just conveniently miss their secure domain); so what does reinforcing that will to ignore and intensifying it into an image of noble resistance to evil moralistic progressive hypocrisy accomplish when it stays in the same arena of moralism, just at the other end?

Anthony I would love to hear your thoughts on the Sumerian Records band Stray From The Path and their new song "Goodnight Alt-Right" and the backlash from fans et cetera

The difference between Israel and the rest of the world is BDS. The Palestinian people have specifically asked, the rest of the world, to boycot, divest and sanction Israel. They are literally asking people who care about their plight, to no give their money to Israel. That's why bands who are anti opression shouldn't play in Israel. America is bad too, is a poor excuse because native Americans don't have a BDS campaign. I know this is an old video, but clearly more relevant than ever. Artist who still go to Israel support their genocide, even if there is a ceasefire.

So many arguments, very provocative open opinion piece, Did a good job of encouraging discussion as the thesis stated. discussion is the onus of change. Music has always been front and center in a quiet way when floating the boat on sea change. Well done, you avoided the divide and rule politics by pointing to the egoistical oversight of some of our own taxpayer funded policies. I hope that many people watch this. Jolly good job.

So many concerts get canceled because pressure from BDS pushers. Thom is one of the most vocalised artists to stand against it. so that's way it's a headline

@ MM - Because a short distance from where they are playing, Palestinian kids are being tortured in Israeli dungeons, so their screams might disrupt the performance.

Hey Anthony! I live in Israel, i was born here and in Israel im actually considered as left wing (it means Liberal, Democrat) im actually fully disagree with my government actions, but here's something i want to point out: the case is way more complex than you might think, i mean there's no right or wrong, people dont understand that we actually cant reach an agreement with Hamas and Gazah, right now Gazah strip is controlled by a terror organization, and there's no case we can stop the Occupations due to a reasons that it will be a war zone

When it comes to political issues, you're ever the voice of reason and I'm happy you're using your platform to disseminate these ideas. I've always been baffled by these kinds of boycotts for this very rationale. Thanks, Fantano!

I am a jew from Israel, opposing the state of Israel isn't anti-semetic. On the other hand (to you there in the US) opposing black lives matters movment isn't white supremacy and opposing feminism isn't sexist.

I think there is a big difference between performing a private party for the dictator of Kazakhstan (which is just a paycheck) and playing a public concert in A Country That Does Bad Things. Playing a concert in Austin, TX is a bit different than playing Donald Trump's inauguration, just like playing Tel Aviv is no endorsement of the Israeli government's apartheid policy.

I am so glad you are aware of the shitty things the Israeli's are doing to the Palestinians. Ik there are going to be a lot of Israeli's that are going to be offended but the stuff the Palestinians go through each day is horrible and unwarranted. The things that my Great Grandparents and Grandparents went through as they were kicked out of their homes and lost everything is terrible and in no way can be justified. So I am very glad that some people are aware of the issues that are occurring in Palestine.

Should the problems of a country stop musicians from playing music to people who love them? As you all can probably relate to the government does not always represent the people exactly
