Stevie Van Zandt, actor and musician who is a member of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, has just ripped some Israel haters on Twitter advocating the boycott of Israel.
You and the other Israel boycotters are politically ignorant obnoxious idiots. Israel is one of our two friends> https://t.co/jfLX5bAzyc

The problems there have existed for a thousand years and you want the solution in 140 characters? https://t.co/JyrBwgWMLc

I understand how it might appear that way but your analysis is incorrect. It's a lot more complicated than SA. https://t.co/RfQXimfwE8

You tell ’em, Steve!
Update: It gets better. Apparently Roger Waters tried to influence Stevie in the past.
Waters added that he had asked other fellow musicians to boycott Israel, but was not prepared to say who they were. “It was entirely private between me and them,” he said.
He stated, however, that he intended to talk to Steven Van Zandt, the guitarist in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, who assembled many well-known musicians to record Sun City, a protest song against apartheid in South Africa during the 1980s
