Not to diminish how badly Thoms navigated all this, but this legitimately makes Roger look like a psychopath.
Cant believe Roger made this public himself
Roger is a narcissist. The Wall is about this. Just like Morrissey, Drake or Tim Buckley.
dk who told him to release this
all it did was bring more attention to the band's (Thom's) position on Israel
that's the point. Radiohead never advocated for anything in that regard. They never went "Solidarity with Israel" on Social Media or whatever. Who tf cares if they perform in Israel aside from people living there and want to see them live. This is performative bs of people who think that people that don't follow them have more power than they actually do. The entire backlash towards Radiohead is absurd.
In fact, this is more in the vein of "Come on our side so your Israeli fans will be pissed and revolt against Netanjahu." "Huh, you didn't oblige? so we will shame you publicly." This is authoritative bullshit and schoolyard mentality. Thom's statement is good imo and a sane position
After Thom tried to play both sides about how the words "Free Palestine" don't actually do anything, Ed's out here saying it outright.
Some crazy intel on the RH subreddit if you believe it…
Guessing you're talking about this?

God damn it dude. If this is the end of the road for the band, I’m glad I was able to see them live a few times at least. Such a bummer though if true.

Lots of people are saying a tour will be announced tomorrow.

The worst possible time in the band's career to ever do something

shaking my head at the radiohead concert so everyone knows that i strongly condemn jonny and thom and support palestine

Idk how new that is tbh. I really doubt we'd get any new music from them personally. But who knows.
EDIT: People are saying that that's years old so I doubt that's anything necessarily new in the pipeline.

at this point honestly they should just cancel lol

I agree. But it won't happen. The question is if the loud minority of people angry by the band's complicity is enough to stop a reunion tour like that of being without controversy. And idk what will happen.
I could easily see them still selling out arenas in the same way Nintendo being greedy didn't stop the Switch 2 from selling s***tons.

No they can't. I've been telling everyone a Radiohead tour is coming this year. My rep would be on the line, rustcohlestan2.

Absolutely!
And there's no better word than "performative" to describe this sh*t
Wassup!!!!
Excited it didn't end up happening but I know it's only a matter of time

You’re overstating the impact of this Israel thing
Radiohead fans are not the sjw cult that you imagine in your head
Most are just people excited to see their favorite band
