Morrissey announces an upcoming show in Israel

[bensimps123]

why god bless israel?

[barkingbasher]

@Linguist29 Who declared you an expert on Iternational Affairs? Who are you?

[barkingbasher]

@antekification I'm sure He'll be upset about that.

[policestory]

To the idiots in this comment section saying that Morrissey wouldn't be "allowed" to play in Islamic/Muslim countries, he's had offers to play in Iran before. I'm not sure what happened to that but he's definitely had offers. I'm sure that he wouldn't mind playing these places. That said, long live Morrissey. Long live Palestine.

[OpieJohansen]

I like Morrissey! Morrissey likes Israel. I like Morrissey even more now!!!

[1959SPM]

Wow - he's just too good looking!

[leon999]

@spotlitkiss

And those with more than half a brain know it isnt,

[Garubolas]

why is this idiot supporting this nazi country murdering palestinians.? i'm burnin my smiths records. Meat is murder, Israel is murderer

[barkingbasher]

@Garubolas I don't think he'll lose any sleep over that do you?

[thisisnotyourcountry]

i love you mozzer

and god bless israel

[HansBooBee]

I wonder if he's gonna eat some vegetarian matzah ball soup while he's there.

[timewillprove]

What does that say on Morrissey's arm?

[barkingbasher]

Maybe Morrisey realises all arabs aren't peaceful and cuddly quite the opposite.

[jpjames1]

Don't try tv presenting gay boy

[streetlightsonatra]

hes not a fatass he just got older as you get older you have less metabolism

[benzohell]

I've noticed ever since he moved to america he's packed on the pounds. As an american I would like to apoligize to the world for making the most gifted singer ever just another american fatass.

[ThereIsNoGodButI]

AHHHH he is so adorable.

[Kiricat2]

He went to Israel because he's fond of pigs.

:)

[RachelHeather13]

excuse me?

you're a bit of a bigoted ignoramus, i'd say.

[aviadmei]

Thank you Moz!

So sorry and sad I couldn't go to your performance in Israel :(

May god bless you!!!!!

[kwiat77]

good for morrisey...theres a rason hes playing in israel - cause hes allowed!

lets be honest, he wouldn't even be allowed to play in the palestinian controlled territories, nor any arab or islamic state - because hed be considered "anti-islamic". god bless democracy (even with its flaws), a cliche comment perhaps, but something morrisey holds in high regard

[magnifiprank]

A VERY generalised remark about Arab states. People like you need to stop making comments based on ignorance.

Pop concerts and general music festivals do take place in many Arab/Islamic countries...FACT.

Also, it's amazing want you can do with a 'democracy'...wage ruthless, near genocidal wars, imprison without trial, torture, steal land, deny basic human rights etc. etc. And these are supposed to be characteristics of brutal dictatorships!

"God bless democracy" ? Don't make me laugh.

[kwiat77]

I was responding to someone critical of Morrisey's concert in Israel. I stand by everything I have said above. I believe Morrisey would not be allowed to play in Arab / Islamic nations. Of course, I could be wrong, but I think I'm right with this one, based on the facts on the ground.

[juliangee]

@kwiat77 There are no facts to prove this.

[kwiat77]

It is a fact that Morrisey would not be allowed to play in Islamic countries. If you don't know this, I cannot help you.

[MrBeefmuncher]

You're an idiot.

[magnifiprank]

mmm...a clearly reasoned response. Go away and mature yourself, then you can come back and argue with the grown-ups.

[MrBeefmuncher]

Wow. That really told me.

You the big man!

[juliangee]

@kwiat77 If I remember correctly Palestine is being occupied by Israel, so I don't think he could even get through the Israeli military blockade.

Kwiat77 No reason to make this political because most UK musicians are for Palestine too.

[kwiat77]

I am not trying to make this political... I was merely responding to posts who tried to make political (ie. Israel-bashing) remarks on here. I think Morrisey playing in Israel is lovely.

And you have remembered incorrectly, unfortunately, Israel does not occupy Palestine. Israel occupies the "occupied territories" - lands taken by Israel in the course of wars inflicted on it. Do you really think M could play in Gaza?? They just demolished a water park there because of m/f bathing - google it

[eagleandcat]

god bless you!? does morrissey belive in a god?

[YourMumGetsItAnally]

No, I think he's an atheist or agnostic.

[Cosmos0]

That fool said "You didnt say 'Israel'"

[snowballtrot]

of course morrissey is taking the piss.....

but he's also saying israel has some good

as does cuba n korea and united states

because because....we must

[nakedlondon]

free palestina, morrissey really dissapointed me

[rgrant]

he does like animals, thats why hes preforming to the Israelis

[jeffeastwood15]

Anyone know what it says on his arm? I'm Jewish but don't speak or read Hebrew.

[RUNetiAWAY]

in his arm it says Israel in Hebrew letters.

[allsweetnessandlight]

It's a pity the tattoo isn't his concentration camp inmate's number, the Zionist-loving creep.........

[GrlLeastLikelyTo]

WTF??? Such a hate-filled statement requires some explanation. What exactly are you saying?

[rgrant]

that freaked me out too. Morrissey duped me!

[mozz11]

wow after 20 years of loyalty to moz i never knew he would stoop so low as to play for that fascist racist state of israel. nuke israel of the face of the world. morrissey you make me sick!

[lostmylife1]

god bless israel

[kgis17]

my life

:D

God Bless you too Morrissey

<3

[danielle711]

Aww, that's very sweet of him. I'm actually in Israel right now visiting family. I'm really glad that he isn't like those who cancel a trip here last second for political reasons and pressure from others... the people themselves here are some of the nicest and warmest in the world, and they shouldn't be punished because of what the government does.

[jjj13031984]

listen, no one complains about him singing in the US, in Germany, in Spain or whatever, and all these countries have done incredibly bad things over the centuries. Israel is certaimly not the worst one, and not the best one either. but it's beautiful that Moz plays there, it won't make it a worse place. I'm glad he's coming to my country, too, and my poeple have been big time criminals in the last century. So what the fuck?

[Stillillgal]

2 days!!!

[marianoman]

Nazis freaks, kiss my ass. Welcome Morrisey.

[IIoveTelAviv]

Your comment about the Jews

"I think the jews have been persicuted because of their ways of lending out money at interest, which has led to confrontation between the haves and have nots. The Jews will be happy soon though because they will control the world under a new world order."

[IIoveTelAviv]

it's not occupation!!!

the arabs declared war against Israel in 48/67

luckily they lost and now we control the territories

and we give it back to them only for a real peace!

p.s

see what happened when Israel gave them back gaza strip.

they lunch 7000 rockets towards Israel since the disengagement.

no terror no war!

"The Israilies are worse than the Nazis"

you are very ignorance if u say such a stupid thing!

[IIoveTelAviv]

No stupid, Jews are zionists!

if you live in Israel and speak Hebrew you are Zionist.

you simple hate Jews.

[IIoveTelAviv]

my g-d there is so much hate towards the Jews/Israel it's very sad. :(

[lauraleigh76]

HA! wait a sec...HAHA! you said, 'and my nan'.

[jasetheaceukuk]

lol

[jasetheaceukuk]

Israel need a more firm leader like Benjamin Netanyahu, and it also needs to deal with Iran and quick. It's just a shame Bush can't serve another term....

[jasetheaceukuk]

Yeah at least it is not a Terrorist state! Every other fucked up country that surrounds it is!

[showpod]

no comment till i see what he has to say about Gaza.. or is he like Bush now!!

[hanassi]

when you get there burn your passport

[Morgue0]

Yes, i live in israel

[morrissey1959]

oh cool. Be kind to Morrissey please :) Also im very ill informed about your country so do alot speak english ? .

[Morgue0]

he'll get the best treatment here, no worries :) i just hope he won't cancel the show! a lot of artists cancel their shows here after promising that they'll come.. :\

and yeah of course most people here speak english.

[morrissey1959]

cool :P

thats a shame that people cancel. i doubt Morrissey will.

but you never no.

Viva Morrissey. do you have msn by the way :P

[phillyaladdin]

How absolutely sickening, I've lost all respect for Morrissey, I can only wonder how much money zionists paid him off with to play in the most hated apartheid colonialist state in the world. Death to Isreal, you shall never live in peace and you will never survive...

[Morgue0]

oy oy Morrissey is coming and you talk of politics. i can't believe he's really coming!! wow!!! so many great artists are coming here soon, i'm gonna have a fun summer :D

[yesiamkali]

Do a show in Lebanon and I will do anything you wish. ANYTHING.

[razorio007]

wtf...the dude will go to Israel but not Canada. Where's the logic in that? He better make a grand statement against the Israeili on stage....sure meat is murder, but what is the cost of a palestinian life?

[modmuss]

More than a Jew's life, for you anyway.

[Hamino11]

Lol... He had bigger statement to make on the stage in Tel-Aviv, and it wasn't against Israel... It was against Kylie Minogue!!! ;-)

Leave your hateful and ignorant ideas about Israel somewhere else!

Morrissey is about music, and he loves Israel as a country that adores music, yes, even Kylie's music! And his concert in Tel Aviv was AMAZING!!!

[kgis17]

God Bless you Morrissey!!

ahh i Freaking love you with all of my heart and soul!

IM ADDICTED TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I AM THEE #1 FAN OF STEVEN PATRICK MORRISSEY!

I LOVE YOU AND NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS MY LOVE TO HIM!!!!!!!!

=D

FOREVER AND EVER BABE!

[NatNatLadyOfSorrows]

you are a small obsessed :|

please get help

[jjj13031984]

..oh yeah? well the main problem is that approximately 80 % of all people that are so eager to contantly condemn Israel don't do it because they actually care for Palestinians or global politics at all, but because there they find a nice way to hate Jews. (yes, the word is antisemitism).

[jjj13031984]

I'm damn serious about it.

[anotherzoe]

has he ever mentioned israeli politics in his songs? otherwise what are you people so disappointed in? and maybe he changed his ideas over time, people do that, you know. apart from that, how is not performing israeli morrissey fans going to help the people in the gaza strip and the west bank? maybe he should perform in these areas too, but i doubt he's gonna sell a ticket.
