Bono calls for release of arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti
Arutz Sheva ^ | 11/1/26

Posted on 01/11/2026 6:48:42 AM PST by Eleutheria5

U2 frontman and activist Bono has publicly backed a campaign calling for the release of Marwan Barghouti from an Israeli jail.

Barghouti has been serving multiple life sentences since 2002 for orchestrating murderous terrorist attacks against Israelis.

He is widely believed to have planned the Second Intifada, which claimed thousands of Israeli lives from 2000 to 2005. Barghouti has continued inciting terrorism from his jail cell.

Despite his convictions, he is viewed by many Palestinian Arabs as a unifying figure and potential future leader.

In a personal essay published in The Atlantic, Bono described Barghouti as “a leader of vision, one with credibility among his own people, and among his adversaries."

Bono further wrote that there were “grave concerns about the legitimacy of his trial - the Inter-Parliamentary Union found that it breached international laws - and a growing outcry about the horrific conditions of his captivity: reports of beatings, starvation, and long stretches in solitary confinement go back many years."

I thought the left was against populist leaders when it came to Trump— but they support populist leaders for Palestinians?

“””U2 frontman and activist Bono has publicly backed a campaign”””


Bono has lost his audience and is now asking Muslims to buy his tickets.

<< Bono described Barghouti as “a leader of vision”>>

Yeah, a vision of the elimination of Israel and Jews.

I have a vision of brain-dead musicians and actors sticking to their art and not publicly opining about subjects beyond their ability to comprehend. That vision is about as realistic as Barghouti‘s.

I’ll agree to this on one condition. Bono goes into his cell and finishes his sentence.

Bono needs to move to Gaza since he identifies with murderers and rapists who love torturing Jews.

” I don’t know why celebrities can’t stick to their wheelhouses.”

If they stay quiet, they get coitized for not using their fame in the service of The Left. But imagine people fawn over you everywhere you go. After a while you might start to think you’re really important. Important people lead. Therefore, they are leading by being vocal.

The IRA and PLO had close ties. Not surprising that Bono would side with the “Palestinian”.

Sure Bono... This terrorist dude is likely a very awesome person... But if I were you... I’d smoke another joint, get on your CO2 spewing private jet plane and go straight to hell with you.

An musical Irishman telling the world how to behave is like the worst optics ever... I.E. Shut up you stupid Irish drunkard.

In the Texas dialect of the English language words ending in an “a” or an “o” are pronounce as if they ended in an “er”.

For example, the town east of Austin that is named Honda is pronounced as if it was spelled Honder.

The former Deputy Director of the FBI whose name is spelled Bongino is pronounced as if it was spelled Bongeener.

The singer who goes by the name spelled Bono is pronounced as if his name was spelled Boner. And that is fitting because he is a Boner Headed nitwit.
