McCartney to play for child killers

Sir Paul McCartney has announced his plans to go to Israel to perform for the killers of babies, next month.

The celebrated rock star will build his stage on the dry bones of the dead Palestinian children.

McCartney was scheduled to perform in Israel some 43 years ago with the Beatles, the legendary band of which he was a founding member.

But government officials banned them from appearing in Israel in 1965. They refused to grant the necessary permits, citing concerns that the tousled-haired British band and its strident, amplified music could corrupt the killing spirit of Israeli youth.

I've never liked the Beatles music. The most overrated band ever. Odd that he would do this. Not like he needs the money.

Um, isn't this post a little overblown? It would be a little more relevant if he was doing a gig for the IDF, but that isn't really the case now is it?

This kind of dumb 'all israeli jews = killers' shit is just as bad as the 'all palestinians = suicide bombers' shit.

BTW I hate Paul McCartney, but not quite as much as I hate wadical hyperbole.

aunty semitism
