Paul, I won’t pretend your pro-Palestinian activism doesn’t matter to me. And I won’t pretend that the decision to shut people like me out of your music simply because we are Israeli isn’t a knife to the heart. I’ve crossed the world countless times to see you perform. Your music has been part of my life for decades. But, and this is a huge “but”, when you ask me to choose between your music and the safety of my children, there is no choice at all. I will choose my children. Every single time.

How does raising money to build schools for Palestinian children affect the safety of your children?

That's a good question. Of course raising money for charity is a good thing, and I'm happy about every penny that goes to making someone's life better. The problem is that unfortunately Paul takes the side of the Palestinian narrative on every issue, without asking questions, without seeing the broader picture, without any complexity. As if this is not a 100-year conflict, and as if it's about blaming and punishing me or any Israeli personally for the troubles of the world. It becomes very dangerous for any Jewish person in the world

Out of all the sensational, over-dramatic hyperbole of that desperate nonsense you just wrote, this is the worst: "...shut people like me out of your music simply because we are Israeli..."

Maybe if your country stopped killing other peoples children then your children could live safely…. Or do those children not count?

Are snipers shooting your children in the chest and head? Are your children being starved in tent cities and targeted by quadcopter drones? I don't think you know what it is to feel unsafe. You're a heartless clown with tears painted on your cheeks.
