Re: Morrissey statement - TTY - August 5th
How many drinks did he have before he wrote that?

Yes, his repeated accolades to Israel without acknowledging what the government is doing is becoming perturbing - to say the least.
I think he has a right to express his opinion whether he is a singer or not. (I just wish he wasn't so hypocritical.) Are you advocating censorship for anyone not in a political career? That's pretty absurd considering how corrupt politics are.
Why should he be disparaging the Israeli government; they are right and just in defending themselves. Quit following the masses and do some research.
Give me a break. So now the great one wants to sit on his high throne and pontificate about how wrong things are in the world...
...
... In closing, as people begin to bash, remember that it is not Morrissey's place to impart his beliefs on others, as he does here by merely making a statement. He is a singer--not very good lately, but that is his job. If he wants to join the political or media circle, he should hang up the microphone and take up the news desk. This is exactly fodder that TRB and his sorry sods will jump into and dissect looking for blue rose and Morrissey's World signs.
He's not talking about any government...including Israeli. He's talking about people.Why should he be disparaging the Israeli government; they are right and just in defending themselves. Quit following the masses and do some research.

I really like WPINOYB and think these videos express the song clearly.
Give me a break.
I am a true conservative, and I am very proud of it. If by some odd twist of fate I agreed with Morrissey's views, I would not advocate such absurd ramblings and drunken monologues.

This is his best missive on TTY, ever. Everything he says rings true. Bush and Blair are war criminals who should have met the same end as Saddam. I love MORRISSEY and I believe in him, we have found a kindred spirit, a pop soul mate. I believe MORRISSEY devotees share an essence, an "it" factor that one cannot put a finger on. If you have met him, and you share this essence, you will know it when you shake his hand, give him a hug, or lock eyes with him in laser-like precision. If you have not met him, his music touches you just the same. Straight, gay, bi, it doesn't matter - the connection with this man is undeniable. He understands us. We understand him. As for Israel, as a Muslim-American, albeit a rather secular one, I should be the most pissed off person on this website. But you know what? I don't give a flying f*** in the same way some may be quick to condemn. And I'll tell you why. A Jew, a Zionist, the people of Israel, and the Government of Israel are not one and the same. When he thanks "friends in Israel" do you think he is thanking the Government who is bombing the people of Palestine? No. He is thanking the fans who bought "World Peace..." If I cannot have a dialogue with my Jewish friends, there is no hope, and without hope, there is nothing. Without hope, we may as well pray for the nuclear bombs to drop on our heads now. If you hate, or better stated if there is absolutely no love in your heart for MORRISSEY, perhaps this is not the place to be. We don't talk about it much here, but those distinctly British themes he sang about went by the wayside after "Maladjusted" because MORRISSEY left England for Los Angeles (gasp!), Rome, etc. And those themes are not coming back, ever. MORRISSEY belongs to the world - and from Lisbon to Istanbul to Jakarta, the world is richer for it. Look into your heart, be grateful, you are privy, you are a witness to The Last of the Famous. There has never been anyone like him and there will never be. He is no less than Elvis and The Beatles - and how incredibly beautiful it would have been to live in those times. Smiths Is Dead. Long live MORRISSEY.

How can anybody hold the position that Israel is just "defending" itself when 70% of the casualties have been civilian? If a man pulls a gun on me in a crowded restaurant would I be justified in killing everybody in the room in self-defense?
Right....the world ain't been right since John Wayne died.....
Even Fox news can't take the place of big John....Damn
His statements have a way of making me feel excluded for some reason.
