There has rightly been lots of fervor online about Jonny recently playing two shows in Tel Aviv so we knew we had to dedicate a whole episode to it. We discuss Jonny’s official, muddled response, and Thom’s bonkers statement from 2017. We also delve into Jonny and Radiohead’s history with Israel. What happens when members of a band who have been overtly political throughout their career decide to not take a stand or stand on the side of the oppressor?
