U2 frontman Bono has said in a statement that he feels “revulsion” for the “moral failure” in Gaza, adding that he has tried to “stay out of the politics of the Middle East”.

The singer, who had been criticized for not speaking publicly about Gaza, and his decision to accept the Medal of Freedom from then-US President Joe Biden earlier this year, said in the statement that his lack of commentary came from “uncertainty in the face of obvious complexity”.

He said that “Israel’s revenge for the Hamas attack appeared more and more disproportionate and disinterested in the equally innocent civilian lives in Gaza”.

“The Government of Israel is not the nation of Israel, but the Government of Israel led by Benjamin Netanyahu today deserves our categorical and unequivocal condemnation,” he said. …

Where has he been while hamas was basically enslaving the population of Gaza into a true-genocidal nation dedicated to extermination of Israel?

Hey Bono -- you can always invite Hamas over to one of your homes.

Hey stupid, I believe Hamas steals most of the food coming there as aid and resells it to the highest bidder. Their leaders always pick a school or hospital to hide in. Their troops also pick civilian sites as mentioned to store their weapons. Bono seems to me to just be another celeb that has been lucky in show biz but now thinks they are smart enough to rule the world. Reminds me of the old saying ... Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you’re a fool than to open it and prove you are one.

Funny coincidence. I feel revulsion whenever he opens his mouth on TV. He’s as self-righteous and sanctimonious as they come — and that’s a high bar among leftist entertainers.

Revulsion for Hamas looting food aid shipments meant for civilians? If it’s any other kind, it’s fake revulsion.

I feel for Bono. His life is full of shame, obviously. It explains his constant projecting.

Hey, No Bono, why don’t you set up a concert and invite the Hamas billionaires to contribute?

You’ll notice that these celebrities are really quiet when Jews are being killed.

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Even a dog knows that there can be no co-existence between Islam and anything else! Bono can’t be that stupid!
There is no nation of “Palestine”. There is only Jihad, and the heart and soul of Islamic Jihad is the destruction of the nation of Israel and the extermination of every living Jew in the world. I hope he realizes this before his earrings are ripped out and he finds his head rolling in the sand on a beach somewhere. The Chisians, as he well knows, are next.

Hey bonzo...

During His brief time in ministry on Earth, Jesus Christ gave a scathing rebuke to only ONE group of people. He called these people a “Brood of Vipers” and railed against their sanctimonious, self-righteous, judgemental attitudes.

You know...the Pharisees.

People just like YOU!

...adding that he has tried to “stay out of the politics of the Middle East”.

Try harder.
