      Same band to tell people to vote Hillary Clinton. Supporting Palestinian liberation is pretty low bar at this point, and it’s not uncommon for libs to support “Free Palestine”. Nevertheless, Green Day has been supportive of the working class and has some revolutionary themes within their songs, so maybe Billie is radicalizing.

      I prefer IDLES at this point, but I did grow up listening to Green Day, as have other comrades here and irl, so I do agree this was nice and a bit unexpected to see. They did the bare minimum while most mainstream artists haven’t, though it’s a bit late and would have had more impact closer to October 7th.

        Idk if this is even supporting Palestinian liberation. Recognising the suffering without pointing towards the perpetrators it means very little.

    SUPPORTING the KIDS of Palestine? THATS a DEPORTATION! If he Wanted to NOT be an ANTI SEMETIC AMERICAN he SHOULD Have just Praised HITLER instead!
