Jjang Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Quote O'Connor was scheduled to perform at a festival organized by Israeli and Palestinian women in Jerusalem called “Two Capitals, Two States.” The performance did not take place because O'Connor had received a death threat, probably from Ben-Gvirs Kahanist organization "The Ideological Front" . O'Connor stated, "Right-wing Jewish groups threatened to kill me and my band." Ben-Gvir did not own up to the threat, but boasted on Israeli radio that he and his supporters caused O'Connor's cancellation. full post: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fp%2FCvSJwJBoKz1%2F%3Figshid%3DMzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D%26fbclid%3DIwAR2zc4V7WZcvk7YKmBin8DpG1cOsjs0-nwEq9TsvoFHsjvKgyXv7XutlPEs&h=AT33JGFxdd5N5sOmBR2AHaL272_C-3-OZrzvOPy6QsWbZ-9IemoN2xuJJQf2EIBX2jyaxDeYH-OZaVtynsXx4pqwaGFMVpLwXohG0n2HlPyNhDU6qJabzZaDjaxlv6JGnCeot2e2UNJo2H-ZgMTWeQ fight the real enemy!

ATRL Moderator wehavetostan Posted August 5, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2023 She was always very outspoken about her support for Palestine, even before her passing. Quote In 2014, she canceled a concert she was scheduled to play in Israel. She did so in protest at the major attack on Gaza that summer. “Nobody with any sanity, including myself, would have anything but sympathy for the Palestinian plight,” she said at the time. “There’s not a sane person on earth who in any way sanctions what the **** the Israeli authorities are doing.” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelter Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 The stuff we praise pop stars for today is nothing compared to what Sinead did tbh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specter Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 She will be missed... She had such a tough life, though, and so I really hope wherever she is, she's doing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIVERT Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 It's so sad that it took Sinead dying for people to supportive of her activism. When she was alive, they branded her crazy, and now everyone has a tribute. We didn't deserve her. I hope she's found peace. 💔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesuxx Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) I spent a lot of time looking into Sinead when her book came out a few years ago. It was one of the most educational, informative and inspiring experiences I’ve ever had from getting to know about an artist. Her intellect, empathy and compassion were honestly far too good for this planet. Edited August 5, 2023 by Joesuxx . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film nothing compares is good. But there are so many interviews that are fascinating. She cropped up in a few Shane McGowan docs that were also well worth the watch - crock of gold especially. It’s just trying to find content that’s in her own words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
