That's not "staying neutral" though. That's the point. There is no neutral stance to take on genocide.

Ignoring it and not talking about it is not neutral. Saying "it's complicated and I don't know enough" is not neutral. And removing an artist from your venue when threatened by stadium owning Zionist is definitely not neutral.

There is no neutrality when it comes to a genocide. Inaction is taking a side.

The problem isn't him "trying to stay neutral". The problem is that the world believes the lie that remaining silent during a genocide is a rational or respectable position.

I'm not upset with you trying to understand the flawed rational of a millionaire artist with all the power and popularity to stand on the right side of history.

I'm upset with you thinking that someone in that position can have a "neutral" stance. They can't. They're not a janitor or a high school teacher. They lost that privilege of "neutrality" when the world gave them a voice and a stage to speak. Not speaking against it, is siding with the genocide. It's thats simple.
