Didn't U2 "both sides" the Palestinian Genocide? Why would I ever listen to a single word they say ever again?
They did. Bono is a turbolib of the worst kind.
Shocked he's not in the files
Eugh. Vandalism.
This article disagrees with me.
While “American Obituary” may recall U2’s classic “Sunday Bloody Sunday” in its virulent commentary, it’s more of a punk rocker with slashing guitars, and Bono delivering words with a hip-hop cadence almost as if to channel a modern-day Bob Dylan protest song.
In a nice touch - the article has the lyrics. My browser crashed ~3m into the song so I missed this gem...
The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power
I wonder what U2 has to say about the Gaza genocide
they felt the need to all simultaneously release separate statements on the matter a few months back, can't be arsed to track them down though
Spoiler alert—it's bad. It's a bunch college essay-length press releases that more or less say:
Wow, fuck Hamas, we condemn Hamas 110%, they are evil devil monsters. Hamas is literally Satan and straight up murdered all those people because they enjoy the taste of human flesh.
~~Israel~~ BENJAMIN NETANYAHU is pretty bad, though, too. But, we stand with the people of Palestine AND Israel, and hope BOTH SIDES can peacefully negotiate a non-violent, peaceful solution to this very complicated issue, peacefully. Just like we did in Ireland. We are very smart boys who understand our own history, and aren't just rich shitholes who can't be arsed to give a fuck.
