In news that will send BDS-holes in to a tailspin, it has been widely reported that Aerosmith will likely be performing in Israel in May, their second performance here following their 1994 tour.
The show has not been confirmed yet, and Roger Waters and company will no doubt implore the band to boycott Israel. So allow me to put them out of their misery (or rather put them into their misery) and remind them what Aerosemith frontman Steve Tyler did over 10 years ago.
Steven Tyler, lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith, dedicated the group’s hit song “Dream On” to abducted soldier Ehud Goldwasser at the request of Golwasser’s wife Karnit during a New York concert this week.
Hezbollah fighters kidnapped Goldwasser along with fellow Israel Defense Forces reserve soldier Eldad Regev on July 12. The abduction triggered a 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Karnit is in New York attending meetings at the annual UN General Assembly this week, together with her husband’s family and Regev’s brother.
In an interview with Army Radio, Karnit Goldwasser said that her husband loves Aerosmith, and that she was moved to tears when Tyler dedicated the song to the abducted soldiers.
She said that she would like a video recording of the concert in order to show to her husband upon his return.
It is enough to make the haters Jaded.
