I’m sure it was anti genocide/ anti Zionism they were going for but they fucked up by using the Star of David. That pretty clearly targets the religion not the country.

Do you mean the star of David that is literally on the flag of the country

Not really, the Israeli flag prominently features the star of David. 🇮🇱 See?

  That’s a very good point. And the flag kinda sums up Israel’s strategic conflation of anti Israel with anti Semitism.
  
  I’m guessing from the phrasing of the article that this was the Star of David outside of the flag. Which I think is asking for an accusation of anti Semitism and could have been easily avoided.

    Which is exactly why they’ve conflated Zionism with Judaism for 4/5 of a century. Fuck that.

Yes it was about antizionism, the pictures didn’t end after the star of David/swastika thing. The band is fairly direct about thier criticism with what they showed, even by the Guardian’s description.
