Radiohead singer confronts Gaza protester at Australian gig

Radiohead singer Thom Yorke briefly walked off stage during his Australian solo tour after an exchange with an audience member who heckled him with a protest about deaths in Gaza.

Videos posted online by concert-goers at the Melbourne show on Wednesday show a man in the crowd shouting at Yorke. While not all of his words can be heard, he calls on the singer to "condemn the Israeli genocide of Gaza".

Yorke responds by telling the heckler to "hop up on stage" to make his remarks.

"Don't stand there like a coward, come here and say it. You want to piss on everybody's night? Ok you do it, see you later," Yorke continues, before removing his guitar and halting his set.

His exit came as the heckler had repeated his call and added "how many dead children will it take".

“More than 43,160 people have been killed in Gaza since then - including thousands of women and children - according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry.”

The BBC is a disgusting laughingstock full of pedos.

The ghost of Jimmy Saville blows out a cloud of cigar smoke with an obnoxious chuckle...

Q: “how many dead children will it take”?

A: As many as necessary for hamass to surrender in the war they started.

Very sad but true.

hamas hides in hospitals and schools. Behind kids.

This is Israel’s Pearl Harbor or 9/11.

They have to go until it is done. And kill until the need for it is done.

No one likes seeing kids killed....well hamas does if they are Israeli kids...and hitler didn’t care.

But Americans and israelis have hearts..and that’s a GOOD THING.

As long as it doesn’t interfere with what must be done.

And that probably includes a lot more killing.

I pray that in the long run, it is the best thing for the kids that survive, on all sides.

But Israel needs to CRUSH the enemy this time.

Once and for all.

Whose fault is it that women and children in Gaza have been killed? I would point to whoever planned, arranged and acted in the October 7th attack on Israel. It’s their fault because they chose to rain down hate and destruction on their Israeli neighbors with the desire to genocide the Jews and non-Muslims. If they loved their women and children, they would protect them and show them how to work to make Gaza a desirable place to live. Instead they attack their peaceful neighbors to get them to engage in terminating those who desires of the genocide of the peaceful, which of course, because they use their women and children as shields hoping to keep safe their weapons and selfs from retaliation rather than livings peacefully and stable life.
