31. no more coldplay for me...
ottawa canada   (06.01.11)
as a non- jewish person who has been to israel in 2000 intifada, i can tell you guys that it's not how it looks like in the press. arabs just don't want israel there and they would do anything to see it gone (heard it personally from east jerusalem arabs). israel, i chose to stand with again
32. loved the song
Marwan ,   Tel Aviv, Palestine   (06.01.11)

33. ZIMBABWE
ZIMBAWE REFUGEE ,   RSA   (06.01.11)
Please Mr Coldplay could you help us in Zimbabwe,
34. Feel-good Naiveté
Oren ,   Canada   (06.01.11)
This is embarrassing. A self-indulgent activity complete with edgy cartoons and smiling in-studio music artists telling a painfully simple story of mean and hegemonic jews. This "song" recycles a bunch of destructive narratives, emptying terms like "apartheid" and "crime against humanity" of all useful meaning. I COULD CHOKE TO DEATH ON THIS CLICHE.
35. They should get the UK to free Ireland first.
Falafelis ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.01.11)
Then maybe we'ill listen to them
36. Coldplay, stay out of politics and just play music
Falafelis ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.01.11)
37. No doubt...
CC   (06.01.11)
No doubt at all that these people are closet antisemites and Jew haters. The hypocrisy is so massive that it perfectly and unmistakably prooves this secure assumption. But then, they are English, so can't help it I suppose.
38. stupid comments!!
Jerusalemitte ,   Jerusalem   (06.01.11)
i totally dont understand most of the comments here... suddenly, Coldplay r the enemies, ppl deleted their songs and r boycotting them...why is that??!!! just coz they r promoting "free palestine"??well, isnt palestine under occupation???isnt israel willing to negotiate with pal. inorder to achieve peace, isnt israel willing to give up on controlling pal. lives by letting them have a country??? isnt almost all israelis(including isr. government) agree in public polls to give the pal. a state... so why the hell u r boycotting coldplay nowww!!! it makes no sense, at all. CONCLUSION: U r just big liers and not at all interested in peace...
39. Lol! What a bad song!
Jake   (06.01.11)
I mean, really now! And it reeks of hypocrisy. These Brits really need to get their house in order first before preaching to others. A little spring cleaning is long overdue, while their attentions have been diverted overseas enforcing "justice".
40. Only 6% of the Security Barrier is even a wall
Jake   (06.01.11)
41. What silly people.
Moragh   (06.01.11)
Go sing your song to the Man in the Moon. He might even listen.
42. Coldplay
June 01 2011   (06.01.11)
Who the hell is coldplay?
43. It's nice to see ...
A. Qirresh ,   Jerusalem   (06.02.11)
how such a music video hits the nerve of many people here showing how narrow minded they are. Coldplay rocks.
44. Delete!!!
Faydra ,   Tucson, AZ   (06.02.11)
I will never listen to them again. Everything I had of Coldplay will be deleted and I'm passing this on to all of my friends. Hail Israel!!!!
45. Done with Coldplay: burning CDs: BOYCOTTED
EZ ,   US   (06.02.11)
Coldplay is going to feel what a boycott is from their actions. Surely it will screw up their success, aside from the fact that the lead singer behaves like a purile little moron! BOYCOTT COLDPLAY!
46. Brits wish that "Palestine" was still in the British empire
elhrac ,   USA   (06.02.11)
they can't accept that Israel is free and independent.
47. I really thought that Coldplay couldn't get any gayer....
Phil Jenkins ,   Austin, TX   (06.02.11)
48. Palestinian propaganda
James ,   USA   (06.02.11)
People need to stop listening to the Palestinian propaganda. They already have a country, Jordan, why do they want two.
49. Coldplay Has Millions Of Impressionable Fans
World Citizen ,   the world   (06.02.11)
The message to those fans is to stand against Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank. This action will spur other major musical groups come out against you. Kudos to Coldplay for their courage!
50. Destroyed my Coldplay collection
JG ,   USA   (06.02.11)
Got rid of my Coldplay music from my pc and destroyed their cd's while playing the Hatikvah
51. useful idiots do not die, they take turns.
ygalg ,   israel   (06.02.11)
52. 1 good thing is....
Aaron ,   Israel/America   (06.02.11)
I don't feel bad anymore that I downloaded coldplay's music for free over the internet...
53. Freedom for Northern Ireland & the Falklands
Barry ,   Eilat Israel   (06.02.11)
Is it only Jews that have a 5000+ years of history here an occupier? Is this blind hypocrisy or just good old fashioned antisemitism? G-d will judge.
54. Do not know what their music sound s like
Anna M Sedda ,   Rome-Italy   (06.02.11)
..so a lesser face in the book to get rid of...
55. #49 Impressionable fans don't like crappy music
Jake   (06.02.11)
And this song is just that...crap.
56. The "Pro-'Palestine' Band"
BH ,   Iowa   (06.02.11)
The last stop on the way to playing county fairs and nursing homes.
57. Coldplay or Coldsore?
Mark ,   USA   (06.02.11)
I am disgusted by these bands that get involved in politics! The wall would never have been there if there hadn't been suicide bombings that were almost nonstop in the early 2000's. I am deleting all of my Coldplay music as of right now!
58. Freedom for Palestine video
AharonZevBenShmuel ,   Philadelphia, USA   (06.02.11)
This was a shameful, biased, misleading video that puts all the blame on Israel while ignoring thew atrocities committed on innocent Israelis by Palestinian terrorist groups. I hope Gwyneth Paltrow, an actress with Jewish roots, divorces her racist hubby.
59. horrible band, who cares
arshile gorky ,   nyc, usa   (06.02.11)
60. #46 Elhrac what total nonsense
Haim ,   Tel aviv   (06.02.11)
Hate to breatk it to you buddy, but the average Brit couldnt give a monkeys backside about Israel or the fact that once it was under British rule so there goes that ridiculous theory. I guess in that case you will be giving back California or do we just prefer to brush that one under Uncle Sams carpet? You all have a good day you hear.
