31. I until today i thought Coldplay might be intellectuals ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (06.06.11)
now i know very different. They are quite the opposite. Jordan is the palestinian ARAB state, 78% of the mandated land says so and 78% of the population of Jordan impacts just that. Thank heavens i only bought 1 album of these dull fuckwits with their songs that bore the life out of anybody with a mind that thinks. Anyone want a copy of 'Parachutes' as i no longer want it. And as for Faithless (Maxi Jazz) they had their success 15 years ago in 1996 and have scratched around making several third and fourth rate albums ever since searching for just another hit.... so he now feels compelled to resort to good ol' Jew baiting for his dollar$ and cent$. Gil Scott Heron is now dead and after only a few weeks of bad mouthing Israel and pulling his concerts there. When will these arab oil lovers learn that oil should come after humanity and not before. No doubt the thread of violent anti-Semitic language made them take this clip down ... something has upset them and they worried it might stick. Coldplay is this is an act of hatred or ignorance of historical fact? You supposed to be EDUCATED.
32. shut up & sing
Nancy ,   L.A., USA   (06.06.11)
Tossing their CD. Sick of these ignorant celebs spewing their hatred for everything that is good. How about they show images of what these evil bastards do to women & Christians!!
33. none of these trendies want to know about occupied Kurdistan
PETER SM ,   Australia   (06.07.11)
Arab apartheid,supprerssion of minorities,torture or public executions
34. dont like them anymore anyways.
(06.07.11)
after this fiasco, i wouldnt listen to their crappy songs anymore
35. BBC propoganda infiltrates cold brains.
mental mush ,   england   (06.07.11)
36. I'm speachless...
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (06.07.11)
Wow, how dare they express their opinions in favour of Palestine! What a bunch of.... Anti-Semites, because clearly 'Free Palestine' is code for 'Kill all Jews'.... And ColdPlay supports this... Like I said earlier, anything anti-Israel or pro-Palestine is tagged anti-semetic. This probably won't get posted, but I hope it does.
37. Coldplay = Palplay
bjl   (06.07.11)
Wont be buying anymore of their crap.
38. Screw this band
Ron ,   OC, US   (06.07.11)
No explanation necessary.
39. And what do you know about Zionisem???
Shafee ,   Herzliyah, Israel   (06.07.11)
40. Too Late You have been BANNED Forever!
Eli ,   USA   (06.07.11)
I destroyed everything ColdPlay and I also destroyed Maxi Jazz Faithless, a had a few of his songs and trashed them. It's time Jews and Zionist Gentiles stand up and show these terrorist supporters that they will not be tolerated!
41. Lame?
boo ,   Uk peterborough   (06.07.11)
#20 hmm the palestine single is lame? Have you been to Palestine? Have you seen a child bull dozed over? NO. Why don't you get your sorry little butt to palestine and see a mother screaming for the child that has just been murdered in front of her. But oh yeah I forgot, thats's lame isnt it?
42. You're so bloody naive
boo ,   peterborough uk   (06.07.11)
32# " How about they show images of what these evil bastards do to women & Christians!! " you must be joking, because otherwise i just might be sick. You seem like one of those half wits (if that) that soak up everything the media says. woman and christians you say? So no sympaths for the muslim or jewish children that get killed every single day? No sympathy for the child that is throwing rocks at the tank that bull dozed their house and raped their mother? Nah, didnt think so.
43. LOL
boo ,   Uk peterborough   (06.07.11)
and what do you know about Zionism? You cant even spell it right. Learn to spell before stating your messed up opinion
44. i have only one thing to say.
shiran ,   israel   (06.07.11)
nobobody knows we are going true. everybody think that tha palastiens are the victIms. so many of our children where killed by them, but we are not useing it, like they do. they hold gilad shalit for 4 years now, they want us to send 1000 muders free in order to get him back. nobody is trying to see our side. coldplay- you were my favorite. i'm not going to listen to any of your songs ever again. in the name of all the ones that were murdereby the palestiens.
45. You're so wrong
nimsai ,   london   (06.07.11)
If it makes you feel better you can think that coldplay removed it, but I'm afraid FACEBOOK removed the link due to the ferocious comments it spurred. Coldplay remain supportive of PEACE in Palestine. GOOD FOR THEM.
46. shut up
(06.08.11)
sorry, youre saying that muslims do bad things to women and christians? jews wont let women sit in the front of the bus, they are not allowed to pray out-loud... does that sound pro feminism to you? did u also not hear about goyim? its a law in israel that jews wanted to pass to prevent christianity from being legal. be educated in the matter before you speak
47. Former Coldplay Fan
Ben ,   Los Angeles   (06.08.11)
I don't like hearing Coldplay on the radio, anymore.
48. coldplay
star of david ,   usa   (06.08.11)
let see if the palestinians and arabs bodies will spend a penny to listen to the degenerated westerns infidels .it unbelevable that some idiots will support peoples who hates what they represent .coldplay should have a show in iran........let see if that will happen!!!!
49. it's funny and pathetic how every time that somebody
..   (06.08.11)
criticizes the Israelis, he is instantly hated by them. that shows what a spirit they have, and shows how much they accept criticism
50. take it from an Arab
Naser ,   Jordan   (06.08.11)
1st of all, as a Palestinian, I'm overwhelmed with the huge positive response from citizen around the whole world and especially Americans and British who see it for what it is and were not scared to answer to all the nonsense on facebook and elsewhere. I thank you for your courage because it takes courage to speak the truth when it comes to this these days. secondly, cold feet or not, they showed their support to a cause any sane person (Arab, Israeli, Muslim, Christian, Hindu or a Jew) should support; freedom and equality and the liberation of an occupied land. You (the ones who got so paranoid and defensive over this), you just don't want anyone's opinion to be heard but yours. The Free World and The Right To Express one's thoughts seem to stop at the borders of Israel with you people!.
51. naser jordan
macktheknife   (06.08.11)
shut the hell up. you're just another angry, unwanted arab and spitting the typicl jealous hatred out on this site. go home. have a cold shower (if you have running water) and take a nap. I'm sure you'll awaken to a new day!
52. #51:
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (06.11.11)
Bravo! You're just another angry Israeli exposed, accusing others of hating Jews (your only argument?) You proved Naser's point with your childish response. Maybe follow your own advice.
53. Let's get back to the issues at hand: @Naser
Liza ,   the world   (06.11.11)
All have right to freedom of speech, but lets draw the distinction between freedom of speech and pure propaganda and remind ourselves why there is no peace. In their elections, Palestinians choose a gvt that doesnt choose to recognise Israel- well, dear- how on earth can one make peace with someone he does not even recognise exists. Well that might be an important point to ponder...let's not forget,a free palestine song, where the video is falsely representing a situation, is hardly peaceful. If we support peace, let's support peace, and peace alone.
