In the Western since Oct. 7, there has been an explosion of antisemitism. Antisemitism is being normalized.
Popular culture is influential. The “Sing for Palestine” event, led by Charlotte Church, called for the destruction of Israel. It also constituted incitement against Jews and Zionists. While the Left is infamous for stifling free speech that is merely found to be offensive, the Left has shown remarkable tolerance for antisemitic incitement and even violence.
After she led “From the river to the sea” chants, Church denied that the chant was antisemitic, and attempted to justify it by pointing out that Palestinians are being killed in Israel’s war on Hamas. This justification, too, is becoming increasingly normalized. Pro-Hamas individuals and groups as a rule do not point out Hamas’ use of human shields, which is directly responsible for the number of civilian deaths. Nor do they condemn the United Nations for stymieing Israel’s efforts to evacuate refugees. Many Leftists don’t know the facts and history of the Palestinian jihad, but easily digest the prevailing propaganda, and then regurgitate it.
“Welsh singing star Charlotte Church leads ‘from the river, to the sea’ chants,” JNS, February 27, 2024:
At a “Sing for Palestine” event in Caerphilly, South Wales, musician and actor Charlotte Church led a choir that included children in singing a protest chant calling for the destruction of Israel.
In a video of the performance, Church can be seen wearing a keffiyeh. Near the end of the show, she sang with the group, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
“I stand by everything that we sang on Saturday. It was really beautiful,” Church said. The singer called the event “a deeply spiritual experience for me, and I would do it again 100 times and plan to.”
She interprets the slogan as advocating for “the human rights and for the equal liberty of Palestinian people as well as Israeli people on the lands of Israel and Palestine.”
The singer shifted the focus away from her statements and to the war in Gaza, saying “This is about the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent people, the slaughter of children. What is happening in Gaza is a hell on Earth. A hell has been created, people are being purposefully starved and it’s emotional.”….
“Charlotte Church denies ‘River to the Sea’ song sang during pro-Palestine concert is antisemitic,” by Ellie Muir, Independent, February 26, 2024:
Charlotte Church has denied the song “From the River to the Sea” is antisemitic after she belted out a rendition at a pro-Palestine concert.
The Welsh musician was recorded singing the divisive song, which can be interpreted as a direct call for the state of Israel to be destroyed, during a pro-Palestine fundraising concert….

Nothing says “freedom” like sharia. Morons.
OLD GUY says
Hey maybe she meant From the River to the Sea Israel. Makes more sense and fixes the problem of Palestine two state ideology.
bagsgroove says
The civilized part of the world is suffering from the illness of islamitis !
bill says
She has never been very bright and I have not hear anything about her for decades
YHolansky says
Charlotte Church, so pretty, so vile, so stupid not ignorant; and a sincere Anti-Semite. Now why should she be different than President Biden and his henchman Secretary of State ?
President Biden has demanded in diplomatic par excellence and I’m sure in quiet, although PM Netanyahu is smart enough to broadcast it; to surrender to Mid-East/Plans that will be SUICIDAL to the State of Israel and every Jew in it. This isn’t speculation but from HAMAS, the PA and all factions of the PLO.
President Biden the Grand Wizard of Klu Klux Klan Robert Byrd mentored you well on how treat Jews and continue the work Strom Thurmond was invaluable!
martin walden says
Charlotte Church is an idiot.
Bexarkat says
Yes, a Marxist “useful” idiot.
Keith O says
More to the point, she is a “useful idiot”, just lie the others who fall in line behind her.

The only song I have heard her sing is “The Prayer” with Josh Groban. She wasn’t all that great (or even good). And this proves she doesn’t know even a little bit of what the song is about.
So many fools in so many places opening their mouths and showing how foolish and ignorant they really are.
Siddi Nasrani says
May be this will open up her closed mind of prejudice.
What “The river to the sea means”

This support Muslim palestinians certainly is very fucking trendy among the left wing wanker brigade these days, brain dead fools or nasty creatures that they are. To my mind, any people who back those scum from hamas, and 75% of the palestinian scum say that they support hamas and the atrocities they carried out, are evil scum themselves. Maybe someone should write a new song titled, “Never in a million years will there be a Muslim win from the river to the sea, may civilised Israel survive and prosper forever”
Siddi Nasrani says
Thank you , that was a nice ending.
tim gallagher says
Thanks, Siddi. I just though of the first verse for the song. It goes “May noble and civilised Israel survive and prosper forever/ and may the barbaric, evil muslims never win/ the hamas raid showed how evil the Muslims are/ they are truly the Devil’s own, full of nothing but sadism and sin”. Maybe the chorus could go,” Long may you flourish Israel/ and wipe hamas out/ after the hamas atrocities/ it is what hamas deserves without a doubt”.
Jgo says
She should change her last name to mosque.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Maybe she meant from “River Severn to the North Sea”, indicating a Welsh desire to not just be independent, but do a retaliatory annexation of England to Wales? 😈
tgusa says
The second these western women go pro islam I treat them in accordance with islamic rules regarding females. They may not care now but at some point they will but by then it will be too late. They lose I win. It is my new normal.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“Charlotte Church has denied the song “From the River to the Sea” is antisemitic”.
Okay, so why did she sing it at a pro-Palestine concert?
Scotsman48 says
This wee lassie belongs to the current Useful Idiot Generation where young girls like her are 100% in support of the thugs that raped, beheaded and savagely slaughtered wee lassies just like her.
Perhaps she should sing some famous Jewish song or something from the Israeli Hit Parade in support of the Israeli girls that had their breasts cut off or vaginas destroyed after being raped and beheaded by barbarians or would that be too much of a racist islamowhatsit kind of suggestion.
She and her generation are openly denigrating the men that are hunting down the rapist savages that raped and beheaded wee lassies just like her… Go figure..
Its an upside down world indeed.
Siddi Nasrani says
The older I get, the more the world is getting madder.
Beam me up Scotty.
Wesley Bielinski says
Years ago, my asked me if I had heard of Charlotte Church. I am proud to say that I pirated every album she had and burned CDs for my Dad to listen to. He’s been dead 7 years now, so thankfully he didn’t experience this betrayal by Charlotte.
