Horrific statement, what a piece of s***
Eye rollingly centrist statement. Given the discourse surrounding the band over the last few years, he was kind of forced to say something, and I guess he said as much as he could without making things awkward with Jonny.
It just always baffles me when I see people resort to the “Why did Hamas do October 7th???” point as if this hasn’t been going on for 70+ years. Just completely limp d***ed, but I didn’t expect much else from Thom. When he cares about something, he’ll push for it. If he feels like his arm is being twisted, he’s gonna be stubborn about it until it’s absolutely necessary to make a statement, at which point he posts a “both sides are bad” coppout.
Glad to see the other band members (sans Jonny) posting more explicitly pro-Palestine content. Wouldn’t be surprised if tensions between band members are pretty high rn as a result, so idk if I’m expecting that rumored tour to actually materialize.
when you never cared for the radiohead hype and always thought their music is annoying and whiney and now theres a legit shorthand reason to dislike them
"he wants people to find solutions!"
palestinians already told yall what the solution here us. what exactly is confusing?
How do you think we solve the Gaza conflict and social media political manipulation/harassment? He wants people to work to find solutions rather than spending all their time giving this much of a s*** over the way a musician who's written political music phrased their condemnation of Israel
Definitely not by both siding a terrible genocide lmao
Mf has a Stan account so he has to act like his favorite artist made a good point about a genocide
The Radiohead subreddit is such a vile s*** hole I can't believe how many people are siding with this and saying anyone taking any sides are extremists unless it's both sides bad. And tons of people who can't figure out why anyone should care about thoms opinion like they've never heard a Radiohead lyric before.
Anyone who cares about the war is terminally online apparently
I f***ing hate the internet. Why isn't there any decent social media site anymore
Tweet about imagine dragons goes viral and thom finally comments lmao
What tweet is that
What tweet is that
I think it was a photo of imagine dragons waving the palestinian flag on stage or sumthin
Always felt like Thom was an awful person. Just a self absorbed cry baby who thinks he’s better than everyone.
man Thom sucks
I feel happy that I noticed it before everyone else. I knew he was a s*** human being the first interview of him I saw
People are gonna rip him apart because he criticized Hamas and compared them to Israel here, but I genuinely feel like people would be mad at anything he said either way at this point.
I think this is a stronger statement than a lot of musicians make (see Jonny's idiotic posts) and people are gonna get mad that he criticized the social media "witch-hunt" so much, but what he says here about all that isn't far from the truth.
His son and wife are both openly pro-Palestine. His son's band had multiple gigs canceled because their touring partners always shows a Palestine flag. I've been saying it was foolish that assuming his silence meant he was some fervent Zionist just because his band performed in Israel.
Ban worthy post. Stop sucking d***
he gotta be like this because of johnny's crazy wife
Not a valid excuse but it’s definitely that
I agree with this mostly, but a celebrity/artist should have the right to disappear and not post about everything random people demand them to. If he had said problematic things recently or done half the s*** Jonny has in the last year, he'd absolutely deserve every ounce of criticism thrown at him. But he had a protestor interrupt a show in Australia simply because he hasn't said anything.
There are people that NEED to be protested and heckled that will never be - both politicians and artists. Sharon Osborne is out here begging governments to revoke Kneecap's visas. Amy Schumer is basically evil lol. But the energy from people who claim to care about Gaza a lot of the time is being spent hounding celebrities that haven't spoken out the way they want them to and making the worst assumptions about them possible just because they're not active on social media.
Someone on Twitter is calling Thom a "fucking monster" over this statement and it's braindead and exactly the s*** he's referring to.
i saw that “fucking monster” tweet too and i instantly closed that tab lol some people are so cooked and braindead on there now. anyways this is a great response by thom
