Brian Eno has now joined Annie Lennox and Bianca Jagger in protest of the current crisis between Israel and Gaza. Last weekend, Eno opened a heated speech at a London rally with:
“What we’re seeing in Gaza is an experiment in provocation conducted by the Israeli government. You take one and a half million people, you stuff them into a small space, you deny them food, water, sanitation, medicine, and then act surprised when they get hostile. But you want that hostility, because that’s the cue for you to act the victim. Israel is pretending to be a victim in a situation in which they are the oppressor.”
