Radiohead has repeatedly performed in Israel despite Palestinians calling for them not to for years. In 2017, frontman Thom Yorke excused the band's decision to play in Tel Aviv, Israel. According to Al Jazeera, "In response to an appeal from filmmaker Ken Loach last week, lead singer Thom Yorke put out a statement littered with cliched anti-boycott arguments, which might have come straight out of a Zionist hasbara (propaganda) manual." In this statement posted on his Twitter in 2017, he says that the band has been playing in Israel for 20+ years. He goes on to say that some government in Israel are "more liberal than others" (as if being liberal has anything to do with the genocide and colonialism committed by Israel). He continues that just because they play in Israel, that does not mean they like Netanyahu. In addition to this ignorant statement, Thom Yorke has also been caught flipping off people who wave Palestinian flags. Also guitarist Johnny Greenwood is married to a Zionist whom he met while performing in Israel.
