Really don't know their music but he seems like a real piece of shit...


I would have cussed his pasty ass all the way out - but that is me.

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was accused of “dehumanising” Israeli fans at a Wembley Stadium concert in London at the weekend.
The singer, 48, invited two Israeli women to join him at the gig on Sunday evening after apparently noticing their sign, which read “We Believe In Magic” - a reference to the band's hit song.

He introduced the pair as Avia and Tal to the 90,000 strong audience and asked where they were from.
When the fans said, “Israel,” they were met with a mixture of boos and cheers from the crowd, per a social media video of the exchange.

Martin told them: “I'm going to say this: I'm very grateful that you're here as humans, and I'm treating you as equal humans on Earth regardless of where you come from or don't come from.
“Thank you for being here. We're grateful. And thank you for being loving and kind.”

“Although it's controversial maybe, I also want to welcome people in the audience from Palestine, out of the belief we're all equal humans.”

This prompted what appeared to be louder cheers from the audience.

A clip of the onstage exchange has since gone viral and divided fans, with some pro-Israeli social media users accusing Martin of “dehumanising” the women and failing to defend them from boos.

The Creative Community for Peace, which works to counter antisemitism, wrote on X: “At a Coldplay concert, two Israeli girls were booed simply for saying they were from Israel.

“And instead of defending them, Chris Martin 'balanced' it by greeting 'Palestine' then told the girls, 'we are treating you as humans of this earth.’
“Why did Israelis need to be reminded they will be treated as humans? Aren't Israelis humans already? This is exactly the dehumanization Jews face again and again, and it's shameful that it played out on a stage meant for music and unity.”
