Nic. With consideration that there’s hundreds of websites that detail many of the atrocities of Nazi Germany, possibly you should turn off your TV and study what actually happened. You will have no problem spelling Holocaust correctly, nor misunderstanding why comparisons to Gaza aren’t even close. More people died in one day in the Holocaust than in 10 years of Israeli / Palestinian actions.
If you had actually studied the Holocaust, you’d know this.

Hello Nicholas. What do you propose to lessen the control of the world by jews?

We visit this site to learn about the only true religion, synthezisers.

“…i could be half the man i used to
they said you were hot stuff
and that’s what baby’s been reduced to…”

Comparing the situation in Gaza with the holocaust is moronic.
In the 30s the Jews weren’t treated well anywhere. They had reasons to hate everyone, but they didn’t shoot any rockets and they didn’t provoke the holocaust. They were innocent victims. the Palestinians on the other hand has a history of suicide attacks and they shoot rockets. Hamas is a terrorist classed organization who don’t recognize Israel, and they don’t care about where their rockets hit. That’s bad enough but they also hide behind women and children and cynically sacrifice them. If
Eno really cared he would have spoken from that perspective….

The situation in Isreal will all come out in the end. And Mr. Eno has no impact on it, sitting in his million dollar studio. If he really wants to understand the sitiuation, move to Isreal and become an EMT or a Fireman or Hostpital worker. Then tell me that Israel is the bad guy.

where are all those brave artists speaking out when you read this:

I’m not sure one can understand an artist’s works without understanding their beliefs – but I understand that you like to keep the focus on music.

Thanks!

Synthhead, forgive me if I am confused by any agenda you may or may not have. I wrote in haste and thanks to the anonymity of the internet, I find it easy to write before my brain can catch up.

The bottom line is I would rather see articles here that don’t give an additional platform for any artist and their specific political agenda whatever the bent. Music has emiotion within by defintion. Because of that, unfortunately, political causes become an emotional playground for an artist’s music. However, I find it easier to ignore a political message wrapped around great music than to ignore the blather some artists spew when given a verbal platform. I guess that’s why I prefer instrumentals in general. Give me a good Dave Brubeck solo to a vocal telling me who to vote for any day…

While Eno is a muscian creating some great music, I’d just rather not be bombarded by explicit politics here.

Thanks

I don’t know Eno enough… If what he’s saying now was always what he has been saying for the past 30 years..then yes he’s genuine i respect his foolish political view.. If he’d just woke up, watched the news and made an opinion based on what journalists reported, thinking “Yes We Can© “then you are an hypocrite. You never said anything before.. so why open your mouth now… and NO.. your political view never impacted your talent before or the opinion of your fan..so why now?

just curious.

You may have confused my traditional conservative agenda (limited role of government) with a liberal one – but that’s probably because the concept of what’s conservative has been thrown in the dumpster in the last 20 years. So called “conservatives” have been responsible for the largest expansion in the role of government in history and the largest debts.

When a musician of Eno’s significance in the world of electronic music makes a statement like this, though, it forces the issue of whether you can consider his art without his politics.
