    The article goes into depth with the artists remarks. Its nowhere close to something like: “This next piece is dedicated to the journalists killed in Gaza” which is what I would have assumed.

      He provided context as to why that piece would be performed. I don’t think he went over the top at all.

        Can I ask would you hold the same position that his statements should have been allowed if it was in strong support of the violence against the people in Gaza? Do you support the use of this platform because you agree with the position or because you believe he should be able to voice whatever position he wants? Would you be in support if his opinions were on White nationalism?

        edit: Calm down people, I don’t support Israel nor white nationalism. I’m probing where @[email protected] 's limits are for what they a believe is acceptable. I’m not advocating for any political position with my questions.

          The main point here is being against the violence, of which israel is largely responsible. Your questions detract from that & minimize the problems to a matter of personal opinion

            The violence began before israel even existed. Israel is not responsible for violence against jews.

                Hamas issues press passes to its military spotters. The transmission of military intel makes people valid targets under the laws of war. That is a valid excuse for bombing journalists.
