Every time I've seen him interview a woman, he says some inappropriate weird sh!t. Kinda off topic, but I do not hold him to a high standard so I do not care about what he has to say about Lorde. The girl is 21, nobody should be this hard on her, I'm 20, I can't imagine how it feels dealing with all of this mess. It’s almost like that’s his on air persona and he’s not a sexual predator or anything... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but not all Jews are supporters of Israeli government. There are many who support BDS and now they’re banned from the country. Howard is a Zionist.

Whataboutery is what supporters of Israel use every time someone dares to stand up for Palestinians and against the oppression. Someone here recently told me, he doesn’t care how many are expelled, he doesn’t care how many are killed, “look at Syria, how many are dead there?!”, it’s always about what is going on somewhere else and how Arabs or Russians are worse, so Israel can continue doing what they’re doing without repercussions and with all the support from US and their tax payers money. So when a pop star decides not to be used as propaganda tool by the Israeli government, it’s her own free choice and Howard has no right to insult her and bully her for that reason. Everyone is hypocrite. Why is Israel supporting Kurdistan, but not free Palestine? Why there’s discussion that Palestinians don’t even exist and they should all move to Jordan so more American and European Jews can move to illegal settlements? Even if she is a hypocrite, she did the right thing here. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelusionalGaga 29,205 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Regardless of what you think about Lorde's decision to cancel her performance, it doesn't give anyone the right to call her a shithead on national radio for millions of people to hear.

Also funny you mention European Jews moving to Israel when most of them feeling anti semitism in Europe.

Americano 31,061 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 She cancelled Israel but is still going to Russia? Lmao.
