"At a time when the world is experiencing significant unrest, music should serve as an escape, not a stage for political discourse."

    Ozzy Osbourne is a top Zionist himself and he put his name out there multiple times to defend genocide.

    Ozzy Osbourne among 200 public figures calling for investigation into BBC Israel bias

    The letter, released by the Creative Community For Peace (CCFP), came in response to the airing of Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone and the resulting row when it emerged that the film’s narrator had family ties to Hamas.

    Calling for a “full commission of inquiry” into the actions taken by the BBC surrounding the documentary, the letter said it is time for the broadcaster “to acknowledge that it has a systematic problem of bias against Israel”.

    Many other big metal names have done similar things. Mostly from Germany.

      And? That some people within a certain group have supported them hardly means you can say that it’s a problem with the group as a whole. I also saw a dozen metal bands who are explicitly pro-Palestinian, and have expressed that in their shows and online.

      Metalheads as a whole haven’t done something to be a disappointment, some prominent figures within the community have.
