Punk rebel with a classical cause

"…And today, I was really shocked when I saw the wall here. It's a new type of apartheid, barbaric behavior. How can you impose collective punishment and divide people from one another? We are all residents of the same planet. I would think that the world learned something from South Africa. And the world should boycott a nation that didn't learn. That's why I won't perform in your country.

"The concert tonight is very emotional," he adds, "because I am performing for people who are imprisoned, to give them two hours of fun and show them that the world has not forgotten about them."

    keep up all the news collecting sabbah, the ship of zionism is starting to teeter and the world is starting to see it rolling on the waves of time, what their old antizionist rabbis said about them has proven to be true, they are destroyers and abusers, terrorists and arrogant at heart.
