Scottish rock group Primal Scream superimposed swastikas combined with Stars of David over the eyes of Netanyahu & former Israeli defense minister Gallant, as well as other global politicians, in on-stage graphics during a Monday night concert, leading a Jewish security group to file a police complaint.

They were playing at the historic Roundhouse venue in north London & performed their 2000 single “Swastika Eyes.”

    I support giving Netanyahu swastika eyes but I do agree that adding the star of David to the design conflates Judaism with Netanyahu’s genocidal Zionism. Not all Jews support Zionism or Israel’s genocide. It’s a regrettable choice and it’s now all the predictable media will focus on.

            I see you’re kind hearted in the sense that you don’t like war (assuming you’re anti Zionist) but are lib and haven’t read enough political theory to fully understand the root cause of it (NATO eastward expansion and western imperialism)

              Ukraine wouldn’t have so much western military aid if Russia didn’t invade. Ukraine wouldn’t want to be part of NATO so desperately if Russia didn’t invade. I think it’s Russia’s fault NATO is expanding.

              You realise geopolitics isn’t a sports game, right? You can be a critic of US imperialism and Russian imperialism.

                You realise that the disagreement is in our definitions of imperialism, right?

                Labeling Russia simply “imperialist” or “not imperialist” is inadequate. Russia is a revisionist, semi-peripheral power with imperialist tendencies and practices, particularly in its near abroad, but lacking the integrated monopoly-finance capitalist base that defines core imperialist powers like the US.

                Russia is reacting to US imperialism.

      Israel made the star of David a hate symbol. Flat out. The rest of the Jews can make a new logo.

      as much as I agree with you. it isn’t the artist who made that who put Jewish imagery in there.

      it was the state of Israel who did.

          tbf, it did begin and a century before Netanyahu.

          let’s not forget all the zionists who are responsible. it isn’t just Netanyahu.

          give him a sudden heart attack and without Netanyahu Israel, apartheid and its genocide would be basically the same.

      Zionism is literally Jewish Supremacy.

      80% of Jews in the US support Israel/Zionism in some shape way or form. Idk about the rest of the West nor the rest of the world, but the majority of Jews live in the West.

      If non-Zionist Jewish people want to claim back their precious symbol, they can start by utilizing it in meaningful action against Israel, Zionists, and their allies. Until then, those that cry about this conflation can go fuck themselves.

    Nazis have perverted the Swastika- once a religious symbol of peace, now it represents violence, injustice, and the worst of humanity.

    Zionists have perverted the Star of David- once a religious symbol of peace, now it represents violence, injustice, and the worst of humanity.

    Combining the two is perversely beautiful.

      that’s the raelian original flag. a really strange UFO cult.

      lots of drugs where involved when they made their flag. as they are pacifist.

      compared with other cults of the time they seem harmless and are openly pro Palestine and against zionism.
