    Bullshit if you stand with jews you should be HORRIFIED judaism has been warped and twisted into rationalizing Genocide.

    Anyone who loves jews or is a devout jew should be screaming at the top of their lungs that this is not judaism, judaism does not endorse, demand or encourage Genocide.

    It is an affront to God in Judaism to commit Genocide as it is in every other major world religion.

      here’s the thing: boy george does not care about Jews. He said so himself, for if you care about israel that makes you a zionist and supporter of genocide. there is nothing Jewish about either of those things.

    damn, what a stinker of song. Disregarding the completely out of touch and horrible messaging, its just some bad lyrical work as well.

    “Musicians holding flags, mouthing like sheep / Propaganda fuelled by the internet feels so weak.”

    thats some im 14 and this is so deep // babys first political lyrics

    but who’s really suprised, coming from a transphobic genderpunk whos like directly responsible for lots of people in the 80s getting the courage to experiment with their gender identity. His later days is just one giant contradiction. Still kinda fucks me up, karma-chameleon meant a lot to me when i was younger and before i learned he was such a shithead.

    oh yeah he also kidnapped and assaulted a sex worker ~10 years ago

    “I’m a man without conviction
    I’m a man who doesn’t know
    How to sell a contradiction
    You come and go, you come and go”

    “Didn’t hear your wicked words every day
    And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say”

    how ironic

    What do you expect from a guy who was sentenced for falsely imprisoning a male escort and beating him with a metal chain.

    This sequel to “The War Song” takes a surprisingly pro- perspective. I wonder how much he is getting paid for it.
