Comment on Boy George pulled from West End performance run after releasing pro-Israel song
Waterpumpee@lemmus.org 2 days agoMaybe im ignorant but the “river to the sea” chanters seem not to care about honorable matters. I simply connected these. Going into whataboutism i don’t hear strong voices from that kind of people about afghanistan or sudan.
I think it feels fake or overrepresented in the public. Maybe some of these activists are sponsored to bring the matter into the public and parroting the propaganda. This could be even indirectly without their knowledge.
Most people don’t pay a huge amount of attention to things that aren’t in the top few news items.
Sadly, Sudan, Somalia, Mali, Myanmar, and even Afghanistan and Syria and others are not. So most people do know or think much on them.
That said, the leftist folks I know who were “River to the Sea"ing back in 2016 are also the people who talk about those other countries.
They tend not to have social media channels, let alone newspapers or 24 hour news channels though.

With no enforcement it’s useless. Most European nations still welcome him like he’s not the monster that he is. They pretend he never says these things.
