Michael Stipe: I Support Radiohead’s Decision To Perform In Israel

It just keeps getting worse for Roger Waters and his fellow BDS-holes. Following Waters’ latest attack on Thom Yorke and Radiohead, former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe has posted on Instagram his support for Radiohead and the notion of performing in Israel.

I stand with Radiohead and their decision to perform. Let’s hope a dialogue continues, helping to bring the occupation to an end and lead to a peaceful solution.
Sincerely, Michael Stipe

While I disagree we are “occupying” our indigenous lands – which are at worst disputed – nevertheless, I appreciate when an artist like Michael Stipe speaks out against the bigotry of BDS.

P.S Michael, you’d feel right at home yourself in many neighborhoods of Israel rocking that beard!
