Why are you thanking a sanctimonious, ultimately hypocritical, Russia-supporting antisemitic musician who seems to have cognitive difficulty that another musician won't publicly shout 'free palestine' every five minutes?
Fair enough for him to support freedom of palestine, I do, but where's his anger for other musicians who (*gasp*) haven't said anything publicly about gaza/palestine?
Look up 'every word demonstrably true, David Gilmour'. There is a reason pink floyd no longer associate with him. Just cos he bloviates incessantly doesn't make him some celebrity deity. Quite the opposite, actually.
Most humans are Good Germans, herd animals to rival any sheep or dog. So unlike cats.
That is why I have more respect for Macklemore for putting out "Hind's Hall" than for all the members of Radiohead and everything they ever sang, said, wrote or thought to date.
No, Thom is not a sociopath for noticing that Netenyahu, and Hamas, are a huge problem and need to be stopped in order to stop the needless slaughter of the innocent civilians stuck in the middle.
Macklemore? Cool, I respect that too. *Did* it do anything though? Its fine to vocalise support for the freedom of Palestine if you're a celebrity, but does it do anything? Historically, has it ever done anything?
Have whatever respect you like for radiohead, thats up to you. But its hugely short-sighted to say they're sociopaths, they simply aren't. They just choose a different route.
'Most humans are Good Germans'... is this is a silence is complicity thing? In this instance it doesn't fit, it did in Nazi germany when good germans were aware of what nazis were doing and the rest of the world at the time wasn't aware.
Cancelling out one atrocity for another is inhumane.
As for Mr Waters?....
'The genocide and ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people of Palestine by the murderous state of Israel, aided, abetted and financed by the Western Empire takes my breath away to the point where I can hardly write. My hand shakes, my chest is tight, my breath comes in fits and starts, my eyes blur with tears of compassion, rage and disbelief. I am thousands of miles from the nearest stiff, cold, dead child, I haven’t heard a single gunshot, or smelt the faintest whiff of putrefaction from the rotting bodies of mums and dads and uncles and aunts and cousins and grandpas, and sisters and brothers under the rubble, and yet…………….?Maybe I’ve got PTSD.
“Calm down you lanky prick!”
I shake my head, to clear it momentarily of my agony.'
Oh *please*, what a load of indulgent hot air. A form of pious, sanctimonious, arrogant, white man's burden performative trauma tourism, he's full of himself. *That* is sociopathic.
You have always been my biggest inspiration politically and woke me up to it all as a child. You continue to stand by your beliefs and I stand with you. I am beyond comprehension as to why we are all not doing more about all gathering together in millions and doing something about this once and for all. This world has gone fucking crazy.
Dear Roger , I am from Uruguay and I wanted to tell you that we are more and more every day protesting against this genocid@l r@ts, and this makes me feel happier as days go by . Unfortunately this government ( which is ending in march) have stayed silent and on their side, but… with the future government starting on march, I only can hope that this will change . You are my hero , love.
This morning I watched the Al Jazeera documentation on the war crimes that I had missed two months earlier. I had to watch it, although I was sure the atrocities were too much for me to bare. I felt physically sick for the rest of the day, on the brink of vomiting.
But yet I was far away, and I don’t have to endure any of the terrible suffering these people of all age have to every... single... day. But yes, seeing and having just a bit of empathy it is enough to cause PTSD.
Dear Roger, don’t waste your time on Thom. Invest it into people who don’t are so ignorant, but rather lack the right information because Western media still doesn’t cover it (although, to my surprise, there was a noticeable shift in reporting for Der Spiegel, no longer taking everything Israel says for granted, one year too late!). Speak to those who will listen. And even if we are angry, we all must first convey why we are rightfully so, because emotions will destroy the conversation.
Then again, I can’t see that talk will change anything to what our “elite” leaders have in mind by (still!) supporting this genocide, live and in realtime. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
I mean, they had that one great song that literally everyone covered, and those covers were all better than the og. I’m genuinely just taking the piss, but Thom basically pointed his fingers at himself and made me do it. 😂. Honestly, so much of the population at large is so self absorbed they barely notice the smoke from the world being on fire.
I love you Roger, thank you for your Humanity and Always being on the right side of history. Free Palestine and all my love to my arabs brothers and sisters in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran,etc
Totally with you, Roger, heart n soul. I sign every petition, go on Peace marches, donate to Medical Aid for Palestine, other charities & big causes. We cannot do more but the majority of us, over 70% in the U.K. cannot change our politicians, all main parties in hock w corporates, arms trade n Israel. They do not heed our pleas, our so called democracies a sham, meaningless - revealed to be totally unrepresentative.
We have the same oligarchs in U. S. They’ve used gerrymandering in such a way that even when a majority votes for one person the other candidate wins, the candidate favored by industry and tech. Clearly, anything can be bought here. Just ask P. Diddy (Puff Daddy, Sean Combs, etc)
Had a little cry reading your post Roger. I sometimes wonder if I am suffering from PTSD or empathic distress is another term I've heard used as a response to the last year of what we have witnessed.
Christmas has felt torturous for me, watching my kids open their presents, seeing their faces light up at the prospect of Santa and having to smile through gritted teeth knowing babies are freezing to death, well I just wanted to cancel it all. But of course we are the lucky ones.
Thank-you for continuously showing up, using your voice, and being relentless in calling out people.
Sending love from Western Australia x ❤️ #freepalestine
Thank you so much Roger. Our individual voices seem small, but when people like you, with a huge reach, write so passionately about the appalling situation in Palestine, it validates us. Please keep speaking about Palestine 🇵🇸. Never give up on them xxxxxxx
Dear Roger, thank you for being the voice of reason and the main inspiration for so many people in this uneven fight to save humanity in the times of genocide, wars an deception. I never stop admiring your courage. Thank you one more time.
Thank you Roger for continuing to speak up for what matters . I try to speak up but my voice is so small . You continue to be consistent in your beliefs and values and that matters so much . We hear you speaking up for those who cannot .
Thank you, Roger, for everything.
Why?
Why what?

I did what I could so I made this video (demo) a year ago and it didn’t change the situation for the people in Gaza: https://youtu.be/dP808Qc9lgM?feature=shared
Thank you, Roger. Radiohead have torched their legacy.

Thom Yorke is a moral coward along with the we have not done anything, musically of note in three decades, RadioHead. Throw in Sasha Baron Coen too,
Why? This is pointless shouting at a wall. Thoms statement is right.
Thank you Roger for continuing to speak up for what matters . I try to speak up but my voice is so small . You continue to be consistent in your beliefs and values and that matters so much . We hear you speaking up for those who cannot .
All our small voices together can make a thunderous noise. Every drop contributes to the ocean. ❤️🕊️,Dx
