Queen founder and guitarist Brian May has disgraced himself by reposting a particularly vile video by the particularly vile Miriam Margolyes – on multiple social media platforms, no less (hat tip: Evan):
“I am an Australian citizen, I am 83 and I have never been so ashamed of Israel as I am at this moment.
To me, it seems as if Hitler has won. He’s changed us Jews from being compassionate and caring and do unto others as you would have do unto you into this vicious genocidal, nationalist union.
Pursuing and killing women and children. Of course I condemn the Hamas action, of course I do! But what we are doing – Jewish people over in Israel – is shocking, embarrassing and wicked.
And I cannot understand why all Jewish people, particularly members of synagogues, do not want to immediately stop what is going on. And in the name of humanity I call upon all Jews to shout, beg, scream for a ceasefire.
It is not antisemitic to have a different opinion on war time actions now.
We have to do, as my mother would say, the right thing. The right thing is a ceasefire to stop the killing. Certainly to beg and insist on the release of hostages.
But there is an opinion about Israel’s actions which is not antisemitic to voice. What Israel is doing is wrong. It is wicked and, if you want to say this, is very bad for Israel.
Please call on your rabbis, on your communities, on all the people you know. Voice your disgust and detestation of the Israeli actions.
Please, you are then doing the right thing and behaving in accordance with Jewish tradition.
Thank you.”
This video, besides disseminating falsehoods, is highly insulting. Margolyes is suggesting Hitler changed Jews for the bad, accusing those of us in Israel of being a “vicious genocidal, nationalist union.” And she is implying proud Jews all over the world who won’t condemn Israel are on the side of that which is wicked and are behaving against “Jewish tradition.”
One could argue this video is antisemitic.
And here we have Brian May excitedly sharing it to his millions of followers across multiple social media platforms. To add insult to injury, May never denounced the unspeakable Oct 7th massacre – this is the first word from him on events since then.
And here I was thinking he was one of the good guys.
If that wasn’t disappointing enough for Queen fans, their lead singer Adam Lambert is also seemingly on the wrong side of history:
Proud to sign my name on this letter to @POTUS demanding that Congress and other world leaders call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost.

We must facilitate a ceasefire without delay – an end to the bombing of Gaza, the safe… pic.twitter.com/a09ESg9dni
This is arguably even more of a blow given he is Jewish and has even sung in Hebrew before.
Update: All you need to know about this video.
Support the real Jews like Miriam Margolyes. Tell the disgusting death cult zionist entity Israel that pretends to represent the Jewish people, NO, YOU GENOCIDAL SCUM, NOT IN OUR NAME. https://t.co/Wyupl3zcDA
