Today the Jethro Tull fan facebook page is populated by racists and anti-Semites.

There are quite a number of Jethro Tull fans in the Arab world. Many of them seem to be old-fashioned bigots and psychopaths in the style of Husseini and As-Sawad.
Sample one: "Christians in Jerusalem want Jews to stop spitting on them"
Sample two: "The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews - when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him."
I am baffled why this is has happened.
Not being a Jethro Tull fan, I do not know if their music is a natural fit for racial hatred and Arabic revisionism - probably everything in this world can be bent to those goals.
And seemingly everything in Cairo, Jordan, and Damascus, is.
Currently there are several Jew-haters there saying the most appalling things. Please report that page for racism/hate speech.
"The internet seemingly exist for FOUR things: recipes, cute kitten pictures, pornography, and anti-Semitic rants."
Fair enough. The pro-Palestinian crowd do not use computer access for recipes or cute kitten pictures.
They make up for that by overusing the other two categories.
That page is full of frightening posts . Jäger Smashfash Rööney has had some real doozies, generally limited to wanking and sucking.... until he made this statement:
ReplyDelete"One Israeli baby is not enough, millions need to be massacred to prevent further breeding of the israeli cancer."
Breathtakingly evil...
Then Mr. Smashfash Rööney stated: "I'm not a "peace activist", I am anti israel and anti zionist, there is nothing peaceful about what I would do to the population of israel."
Wow, Steffy. Just wow. There is so much evil out there.
i am a tull fan....from way, way, way back (thats right...im old)
ReplyDeletenothing ian anderson ever sang about was political
as far as i know, he never even spoke of politics at his concerts
the bands biggest hit, aqualung, is about a dirty old perv who hangs out at the park ogling little girls.
Perhaps the "fans" don't know that Jethro Tull played a kickin' concert here, in Jerusalem, less than 3 years ago. Ian Anderson was awesome!
ReplyDelete"a dirty old perv who hangs out at the park ogling little girl"
ReplyDeleteAh, the good old days (weeps into his long gray beard).
ok
ReplyDeletejust found out that the jew haters joined the group to bash tull
they apparently are set for another concert and refuse to boycott.
Great news! Jethro Tull was not bullied and honored their commitment to play in Israel!
