“Come here and say it here. Jump up on the f*cking stage and say what you want to say,” Yorke says in the musician’s video. “Don’t stand there like a guard, come here and say,” the singer replied to a man in the crowd.

In the video captured by a viewer, it is difficult to hear all the screams, but it is clear that the man who appears is talking about the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the number of deaths. He shouted to the singer that half of them were children.

“How many dead children will it take before you condemn the genocide in Gaza?” shouted a pro-Palestine supporter.

“Do you want to ruin everyone’s night?” the singer continued, while not sparing foul language. When the activist repeated the question, the singer decided the high -leave the floor saying “O.k., then finish it here, goodbye.”

The departure of the singer caused a big rift in the audience, a large part of the crowd fueled the riot. He was immediately escorted out by security, she said BBC. After a while, the singer decided to return to the stage to perform the last song of the night, 1997’s Karma Police.

Radiohead have already faced criticism for their concerts in Tel Aviv in the past. In 2017, she was criticized for this by the Pro-Palestine Boycott, Divestment and Controls (BDS) movement. Yorke on the social network at the time saidthat playing in a particular country is not the same as supporting their government.

“We played in Israel for over twenty years, there were different governments, some more liberal than others. Just like in America. We don’t support (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu any more than we support (Donald) Trump, but we’re still playing America,” he wrote.
