God dammit, that's disappointing. I would tear up when I listened to "On the Radio". How is anyone still pretending Israel is not the aggressor in the conflict? They've been doing this shit since the 1950s.
It's a rhetorical question. Anyone who provides a good answer risks being called antisemitic by people who would rather deflect valid criticism by (rather racistly) pretending that everyone from a certain place must share certain beliefs, instead of acknowledging that certain beliefs are harmful regardless of who holds them.

Relatedly, I can’t listen to Regina Spektor anymore without thinking of the genocide she supports, and she’s such a good singer & musician.
Or not so relatedly, because Godot is not such a good actor.

It’s a fantastic song, and sorry to break it to you.

Not a camel in sight.
And I'm not a weapons expert, can anyone confirm those are M16A4's? They seem kind of small

Here's the biggest version of the image I could find (7411x4943, 9.7 MiB): https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/ZV3WKINX6DGKU4NWC3KUOO2A7M.jpg
It looks like an M16 to me. It certainly has something that could be the charging handle and the thingy that pokes out of the side

Like I said I'm by no means an expert but purely going by size I wonder if it's not an M4A1. I realise that's not the point though.

They are quite similar, and I'm no expert either.

People walking around with scary black rifles isn't and shouldn't be anyone's qualm with Israel.
