JAKARTA - Senior musician, Thom Yorke made a decision that reaped the pros and cons. This is related to his attitude in responding to the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
In his recent post, the frontman Radiohead implied a neutral stance on the genocide that occurred on Palestinian soil. He highlighted Hamas' actions on October 7, 2023, which he considered radical.
"Why did Hamas do a very terrible October 7 action? The answer seems clear, and I believe Hamas chose to hide behind the suffering of its people for their own agenda," wrote Thom Yorke on Instagram, May 30.
As one of the dedengkots of music, he is highly admired and respected. However, with this opinion, he drew a lot of criticism and disagreed tones from fans and colleagues.
A number of Indonesian musicians also responded to Thom Yorke's attitude which was considered logic flawed. From the Indies to Iga Massardi loudly opposed the framing that the music brothers were trying to raise.

One by one the musicians speak up to take a stand. Some were so disappointed that they boycotted Thom Yorke's works, that they lost respect and fought back with mature arguments.
