Yeah I feel like Radiohead cancelling a tour date in Tel Aviv isn't going to result in Netanyahu making compromises at the bargaining table. It's just guys like Roger Waters (a tankie Putin simp) thinking they're more important than they really are. It's sort of like that time Dennis Rodman went to north Korea or Sean Penn went to Iraq to try to negotiate deals with various authoritarians. Just celebrities with big egos thinking they matter in an area where they're way out of their element. Play music for your fans in Israel or don't play music there, either way it doesn't change anything.

Honestly I think the whole "the world needs to turn against all of Israel" idea is doing more harm than good. Expressing hatred towards an entire country doesn't facilitate negotiation.
