Washed-up musician, Elvis Costello, Appeases Hamas and its Supporters by Boycotting Israel

Most JIDF supporters probably have no clue who this guy is, as they are younger and this guy is old, washed-up, and irrelevant. The only thing that made him somewhat cool at one point was appearing on SNL with the Beastie Boys. In any event, he has chosen to appease Hamas, and its supporters by boycotting the Jewish State, apparently in support of Israel's destruction, or in fear of supporting the existence of Jews and our Homeland. '' It is after considerable contemplation that I have lately arrived at the decision that I must withdraw from the two performances scheduled in Israel on the 30th of June and the 1st of July. …there are occasions when merely having your name added to a concert schedule may be interpreted as a political act that resonates more than anything that might be sung and it may be assumed that one has no mind for the suffering of the innocent.'' Yet apparently we should not interpret his boycotting Israel and appeasing of Israel's enemies as any sort of “political act”… ''…..many people question the policies….on settlement and….conditions that visit intimidation, humiliation or much worse on Palestinian civilians in the name of national security…'' So only the propaganda of Israel's enemies matter to Costello, who can't even bring himself to mention the fact that Israel lives under the threat of Islamic terror, every single day… '' I offer my sincere apologies for any disappointment to the advance ticket holders as well as to the organizers.'' Well, screw you, Costello. We hope all Jews in the music industry and Jewish consumers boycott YOU (as if anyone even listens to you anymore)… ''Sometimes a silence in music is better than adding to the static….'' Agreed, we will prefer silence to the static of your washed-up, Hamas sympathizing tunes whose creator apparently supports the destruction of the Jewish State. And also Carlos Santana gave in to the demands of the Israel haters and canceled his Israeli concert. No more Santana songs (or shoes–he has a line of high-fashion women’s shoes) for me, you spineless has-been. added by: crystalman

Oil Spill Hits Land in the Gulf (NEW PHOTOS)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/30/louisiana-oil-spill-2010_n_558287.html The Huffington Post has updated their stream of photos coming in from the Gulf to include the latest in clean up efforts and images of the oil hitting land. For the latest photos, check Greenpeace's photostream on Flickr. The organization has had a crew of photographers, activists, scientists, and clean-up volunteers based in the Gulf for weeks. http://www.flickr.com/photos/greenpeaceusa09/ This oil spill is on track to become the worst oil spill in history, surpassing the damage done by the Exxon Valdez tanker that spilled 11 million gallons of oil into the ecologically sensitive Prince William Sound in 1989. Unlike the Exxon Valdez tragedy, in which a tanker held a finite capacity of oil, BP's rig is tapped into an underwater oil well and could pump more oil into the ocean indefinitely until the leak is plugged. Oil hitting the coastlines poses a serious threat to fishermen's livelihoods, marine habitats, beaches, wildlife and human health. added by: captainplanet71
