  That’s disappointing to hear.

  Do you know how strongly he has expressed those beliefs and/or have any references?

  sigh unfortunately there are a lot of cases where one must choose between upholding principles and enjoying genuinely good art. Nathan W. Pyle, David Draiman, Joanne Rowling… I’m drawing the line between ‘personally enjoying it’ while ‘ensuring my money doesn’t support the creator / publisher directly’ and ‘recommending others buy it’. I don’t agree with trying to stop people from enjoying it but I will encourage not allowing the problematic source to make money from it.

    Depends on how harmful their activism and projects are. Frankly there are people with all sorts of opinions. Just being religious and having a different opinion doesn’t make me want to boycott or cancel anybody. Most people in my family have vastly different opinions to mine but I still love them. Depends on the harm being caused. Doesn’t mean principles are being compromised.

      He has always been an outspoken “pro-Israel Jew” which is a bad sign for everyone else, denies that Palestinians should be allowed to live and called pro-peace campaigners “idiots” and “Nazis in suits” publicly announced support for the Israeli government and the IDF in its acts of terrorism against Palestinian peoples, Publicly supported war and mass murder of innocent people (although it should be noted that Zionists do not view a single Palestinian-born as ‘innocent’), and has continued to double down, reflecting accusations of his apparent hatred onto his accusers (“I know you are but what am I”), labeling being against terrorism and violence as pro terrorism and inciting Jew hatred and instigating violence against other celebrities who exhibit a different opinion to him

        Alas, it’s always strange how someone can be so vehement about something and still be vehement about the thing they care about doing what they think is being done.

        I get the urge for jewish people to support each other, and the one country in the world that’s “theirs”. Totally understandable.

        But when that country does the very things the people fear being done to them again, there’s that lack of sense to see the hypocrisy of it.

        It’s sad

  Perhaps the level of intelligence & wit & likeability he exhibits in his art indicates that he assumes all people are intelligent & witty & likable, so he delusionally believes that all lives are as precious as his own 🤷🏼‍♀️
