I don't know...I think anyone who basically says that (the) jews deserve to
die is a pretty f*cked up human being. He seems very hate- and revengeful,
and although this may be "interesting" seen from a psychological
perspective, I find it very hard to excuse his hyper-militant approach
towards the Middle East.

Whether or not this should affect his musical status, though, is a
completely different question. I think it should not. There are lots of
a*sholes making music, but that doesn't mean their music is bad per se. I
guess those cheerful blokes from Sex Pistols weren't exactly friendly and
polite and nice, but some people still think their music is "good", if that
is a term that applies to punk (personally I think S.P. sucks, but that's
irrelevant.)
