Eric Clapton: 'Israel is running the world'
The Jerusalem Post ^ | 5/28/2024 | David Brinn

Posted on 05/29/2024 2:48:01 AM PDT by mbrfl

British rock guitar legend Eric Clapton moved one step closer to Roger Waters territory last week, telling an interviewer that “Israel is running the world, Israel is running the show.”

The 79-year-old musician, who has recently performed playing a guitar painted in the colors of the Palestinian flag, was interviewed on May 22 by David Spuria, an American Youtuber who hosts the popular Real Music Observer show.

alking about the recent campus protests in the US against Israel, Clapton criticized the Senate hearings in which university presidents were asked about antisemitism on campus.

“I was so enthused about what was going on at Columbia [University] and elsewhere. And then what I couldn’t believe, because it freaked me out, were the Senate hearings, which were like the Nuremberg trials, you know?” he said.

Why give a platform for entertainers, and actors to advocate their beliefs? Their beliefs mean nothing and should not be given so much publicity. He should stick to playing his guitar

It isn’t Israel running the world, but he is close. It’s actually the Golden Calf JINO’s that are running the world.

Anyone can go down the list of industries (Entertainment, Banking, Media, Universities, Politics) and see that these self loathing Jews are at the center of those who make world wide decisions. It is NOT a coincidence. They worship the Golden Calf of money and power (not the God of Abraham).

Another clueless entertainer who can't tell the difference between right and wrong.

Maybe he's back on the smack, yes, simply doesn't know right from wrong.

I am aghast at this fool’s cretinous stupidity. Maybe he should go on tour with DeNiro and Todger Waters.

Proof that living in a bubble of privileged puffery is hazardous for mental health.

He should go perform in Gaza.

Obviously not true. If Israel was running the world, the world would be a much more effectively run place.

Should I be amazed at how many American right wingers make Israel and Israelis an Idol that they worship wholeheartedly?


Either that or get a more perceptive sense of humor :-)

If Jews were running the world, would that mean Hamas would need Jewish permission to fire rockets into Israel?

Just the musical piece at the end. It’s a point of contetion but I lean with Rita AT LEAST co-authoring it.

Oh, and it was Jim Gordon, the drummer who had dated Rita during Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

They stole the melody at the end and then added the intro, yes, that’s true.

and Duane made Layla what it was.

Despite the lyrics being so marked by Clapton’s personal tribulations, the composition was largely shaped by guest collaborator Duane Allman, who devised that brazenly confrontational intro riff, and who helped transform Clapton’s early, self-pitying balladic draft into a bravura rock showpiece

This is not new for Eric Clapner (hat tip Joycelyn Elders). He was a raging racist way back in the day
