Johnny Rotten Is Right: Hamas Is a Gang of "Jew Exterminators"

(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - In an interview with the Irish Independent, John Lydon (Johnny Rotten), the lead singer of the 1970s-era English punk rock band Sex Pistols, recalled that when he played in Tel Aviv in 2010, "there were lots of Muslims in the audience....That was special because no Muslim nation has invited me, not ever." Lydon said, "Hamas are basically just Jew exterminators, that's their only real purpose, they don't correct the environment for [their] citizens." It felt like a jolt to see a non-Jewish public figure speak so plainly about Hamas's fascistic ambitions, its genocidal dream of destroying the Jews. It shouldn't, of course. It should be widely known that Hamas is a Jew-killing machine masquerading as a national-liberation movement. The dictionary defines punk as a "fast, loud and aggressive" revolt against "conventional attitudes." How fabulous to see Rotten, 69, still doing that. The most stifling cultural orthodoxy of our age is to hate Israel. Yet here's Johnny, the punk who won't die, with the truth. He brings to bear the moral sensibilities of the English/Irish working class against the faux-progressive bigotries of the elites. In reply to their frenzied Israelophobia, he says it's Hamas that's the problem.
