John I LOVE YOUU

[arcz10]

i wonder who is milking who?

[rrbh]

Lydon can talk about himself until the cows come home. Lydon has boundless energy to talk about ...Lydon. He revels in the attention in the same way that an X factor contestant craves to be noticed. Butter, beer and banality.

john, id love a chat ,

[DorakoftheHillPeople]

Lydon cares about Lydon. Full stop. He's never minced his words concerning that fact. He couldn't give a flying fuck about Israel or Palestine, and to whatever degree he might allude to humanistic ethics is and has always been within the context of what serves him best. The whole of this inane media circus could be reduced to, "I'm just here for the money". And before all you hero-worshipping fools get all tight in the jock, consider first that this is merely an observation, not a judgement.

I was touched by Johns words on Michael Jackson-

There you go mike- respected by The original Punk Legend.

[anarchosolar]

Israel is a disgrace to humanity those who make excuses for her are shitheads !!!

[arcz10]

@anarchosolar absolutely right buddy!

[tooluberallem]

@anarchosolar grace ha ha

[anarchosolar]

SEE

DN! Boycott Israel - Elvis Costello Cancels Israel Concerts

[anarchosolar]

ELVIS COSTELLO's statement quoted by DEMOCRACY NOW captures what Lydon fails to capture. Lydon was there for his own self-interest !

[LibertyMike1]

Agree with Lydon 100%! I support the people of Israel but their government can fuck themselves!

[anarchosolar]

@LibertyMike1 It is the Israeli people who willingly enforce the Apartheid and Occupation policies of the Israeli state !

[darkieskinned]

love John and fuck off to all the brainwashed leftie comments on here... cunts!

[theflorgeormix]

he points out class struggle always - which has been the bane of humanity since civilization started...voice of freedom hero....he contradicts himself a lot which makes it even funnier, close to being a Repub

[anarchosolar]

Some anarchist punk ! He allows himself to be sent on the orders of his German wife to a Heineken corporate sponsored festival inside an apartheid occupation settler state. Could the fact that a hit Israeli movie used a PIL song have anything to do with it or the reforming of PIL.

[anarchosolar]

The people in Israel are part of an APARTHEID OCCUPATION STATE they are all active or reservists in their ZIONIST occupation ARMY !! John is a deluded idiot !!

[barkingbasher]

@anarchosolar Who are you exactly to have such a qualified opinion?

[anarchosolar]

@barkingbasher The fact that I am right is proven by academics and young people who are leaving the country because they do not agree with its policies but most Israelis do and the atmosphere for dissidents is very intolerant. Gideon Levy gets far more hate mail for his articles critical of their country than he does applause.

[barkingbasher]

@anarchosolar I didn't ask you about Israeli academics I was asking what made you an expert and a voice on Israeli and Middle Eastern affairs? Basically who are you?

[anarchosolar]

@barkingbasher Who are YOU ! Israel is a Settler State ...the entire population is either in the army or ready at any moment to grab their uniform and report. You CANNOT say like Lydon is implying that there is the same division between people and system that exists in the UK or Finland it is NOT the same !! Gideon Levy is not an Academic he is a Journalist who deals with VERY real world very real people, Palestinian people and what they suffer at the hands of Israeli society.

[barkingbasher]

@anarchosolar Thank you for confirming what I already suspected, you're an armchair critic. Next time Israeli's need advice on how to go about their lives I'll refer them to you 'The self Proclaimed Middle East Expert.'

[anarchosolar]

@barkingbasher I have studied all available material for twenty years.Having spent time in the country in the 1980's I was appalled at what I saw then.

I have NEVER proclaimed myself as a Middle East Expert that is precisely why I refer to

people who live there and are courageous voices against the nature and policies of the Zionist Apartheid State.

[anarchosolar]

@barkingbasher Who and what the FUCK are YOU !

[barkingbasher]

@anarchosolar An Israeli, and please remember don't write things on the Internet you wouldn't say to someones face. It doesn't take a brave man to use profanities when they can't be touched. A last piece of advise look at London, Birmingham and Leisceter and start worrying about whats happening in your own home Kuffar.

[anarchosolar]

@barkingbasher  I will say to anyone including you

[LibertyMike1]

@anarchosolar Blame the Israeli government, not the Israeli people. There is a big resistence movement going on in Israel right now with the people, similar to the Occupy and Tea Party movments in the US. Do your research.

[anarchosolar]

@LibertyMike1  I am sorry BUT you are WRONG ! The movement in Israel is NOT about Palestinian rights or suffering it is the middle class not being able to afford to live there anymore. I can assure you my research is better than yours !!

[LibertyMike1]

@anarchosolar I never said anything about Palestinan rights. Of course that's not what it's about. As I said in my original comment, there is a resistence movement going on similar to what the tea party and occupy wall street movements going on in the US, which are about the nation's internal economic problems. Not sure where you got the idea I thought the movement had anything to do with Palestine.

[anarchosolar]

@LibertyMike1 You are MISSING the point. The protests were still based on a denialist mentality they made reference to Egypt but unlike Egyptian protesters who are totally aware of their states crimes the Israelis in Tel Aviv displayed callous indifference toward Palestinians locked up and tortured a short drive away. There is NO economic crisis in Israel the problem they have is a gangster elite who have stolen the middle class wealth. Their economy is good but in elite capture.
