Where's the conscience for centuries of the Diaspora when Jews were forced to leave Palestine by Arabs?
Screw sxsw
Yeah SXSW became a business, Have you seen their headquarters? For a festival? Yeah big business. 🤷♂️ They used the money they saved on all the volunteers for that new high rise building.
So these ‘artists’ are siding with Hamas? Well now these artists can go back to their real jobs at Starbucks and pizza delivery.

Hamas can't be that bad if Israel funded them and they also refuse to take out their leaders in Qatar.

Why are military contractors sponsoring music festivals? Whatever intern decided that was a good sponsorship should be fired.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are what is effing up America, all DEI does is make a place for people to get their feelings hurt, and then whine loudly about it.
Proud of the Texas military …but always forcing guilt at Biden’s administration for not coming down and helping
Remember that Hamas attacked ISRAEL.
All sounds like horrible music. I’m convinced any music after the mid 1990s is garbage.

We're supporting Isreal while dropping aid on the Gaza Warsaw ghetto. 🤷♂️ Not sure where we're at but we are supposed to be promoting freedom and Isreal is an apartheid state.
