Anti-Israel Artists And Celebrities

I’ve already published a Pro-Israel Celebrities post, so I think now’s the time to post one on artists who are anti-Israel.

Below is a list of artists and celebrities (dead and alive) who were/are either definitely anti-Israel or have somehow been associated with an anti-Israel cause. Where there is an article proving this, I have linked the celebrity’s name to it. Where an article lists many such celebrities, I have included it under General Sources after the complete list of names.

Note that this post is designed to be a work-in-progress, and not a complete list of anti-Israel celebrities (which is, I suspect, a very long list). If you know of other anti-Israel celebrities, please leave their names in the comments, as well as a links to proof of this, and I will update the post accordingly.

Please consider boycotting the “work” of these people. Fair’s fair.

  1. Bobby Gillespie was criticised for defacing a Make Poverty History poster signed by all the acts at the Glastonbury Festival in 2005.
    Gillespie scribbled over this and wrote “Make Israel History.”

  2. If being compassionate to people that are being OPPRESSED and Ethnically Cleansed means you are Anti-Israel then add me to the list.

  3. Nelson Mandela as well…. and it’s also funny how Netenyahoo was one of the only dignitaries that DIDN’T attend Mandela’s funeral…. just goes to prove how much Israel is an APARTHEID STATE.

  4. Nelson Mandela as well…. and it’s also funny how Netenyahoo was one of the only dignitaries that DIDN’T attend Mandela’s funeral…. just goes to prove how much Israel is an APARTHEID STATE.

  5. LET ME REMIND YOU ALL 9/11…..ALL TERORISTS COME FROM THE SAME FAMILIES….. NOW, THINK AGAIN… PRO WHO??

  6. Really? Is that how we represent our selves? I dont think they hate Jews I think they dont like the actions of Israel! And et us be honest, there are Two Israels. the Hollyland.. and than. there is the Government!!!!

    1. Depends on what you think that word means. since a lot of people are pro-Palestinian, and they are a semitic people. You really can’t call someone anti-semitic if they are Pro-Palestinian.

      Most of us are definitely Pro-semitic. Lots of us are specifically pro-Jewish people as well, but anti-zionist. You can be anti-zionist and pro-semitic.

  7. Add the rest of the planet to this list. We are pro – jew, pro for jews having a safe place to live (America is doing a good job of being that better than Israel is, anyway), complete ANTI-occupying someone else’s lands, mass killing and displacing them, taking their lands and homes and terrorizing them and their children for a 100 years. FUCK THAT.
