Bryan Adams Hating On Israel

The latest celebrity to emerge as an ignoramus extraordinaire is singer Bryan Adams, who has been tweeting away against Israel.

Besides the usual anti-Israel talking points and platitudes, note how he dismisses the killing of a 4-year-old Israeli, the killing of 3 Israeli teens, the fact Israeli children have to keep running for cover, and the Hamas charter calling for Jews to be killed.

It is a shame Adams does not remember the summer of 69 better. If he did, he would remember how Israel fought and won a battle for its survival just two years earlier, why it needed to hold on to the disputed territories, and how Gaza was under the control of Egypt.

As it turns out, Adams is just another celebrity for whom facts and logic are not music to his ears.

Update: In the past, Adams has claimed to be committed to the OneVoice initiative, which seems anti-Hamas. He also claimed he would return to Israel for a concert, after his planned concert in 2007 was cancelled due to violence.

  1. It should be noted that Bryan Adams, has actually lived in Israel when he was young. His father was formerly the Canadian Ambassador to Israel, and he studied at the American International School (at that time in Kfar Shmaryahu).

    It seems that time didn’t teach him much, except how to make bad music.

      1. lol ok Bryan’s being a dweeb but maybe he’ll come around with some education, like I think Neil Young did with the Oil Sands. The Band; Tragically Hip; Blue Rodeo; Max Webster; Trooper; Shania Twain; April Wine; OLP; Steppenwolf; Oscar Peterson; Celine Dion (I know I know but no denying she can sing!); Paul Anka; Jann Arden; Diana Krall. And I’m just getting started, You Ain’t Seen Nuthin’ Yet! (BTO).

    Adams hasn’t had a hit recording in 19 years, so he is another past-his-prime singer who is living on nostalgia.

    Canada has a great deal more respect from the world than does Israel. Yet we try to support Israel’s right to peace, even if only to support our own political objectives (maintain clout in the middle east; appease the powerful Jewish community in Canada, and support the stance held by the US). Bryan Adams is a highly respected Canadian. If you are using his tweets to try to understand his views, you are doing a grave injustice to yourselves. It’s clear that this feed is not open to varying viewpoints and equally clear that supposedly educated people (Jews and Israelis or people posting here) turn to hateful commentary. The herd mentality is scary and I am ashamed that this is what you are all turning to. Anti-Semitism is different than questioning the tactics of a superpower against an obviously weak and poorly led group of brainwashed fanatics who truly think they have a chance against a brute force hugely funded and supported by an even greater superpower, one that has led to the deaths of 500,000 children in Iraq (thanks Bush). It is evident throughout history that America is a pro-war country and Israel benefits tremendously from that. Bryan is standing up for the weak and oppressed. He’s not saying that Hamas offers sound leadership or that Israeli’s deserve to live under threat. We all know that Israeli quality of life is very high (even though it’s a tough place to live) but their suffering in tough times is not even a fraction of Palestinian suffering in the best of times.
