U2 frontman Bono has criticized Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's rhetoric, drawing comparisons to Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler. In an extensive interview with Rolling Stone magazine for the band's 50th anniversary celebrations, Bono addressed Ben-Gvir's comments about Gazan residents, deeming them unworthy of life.
Bono emphasized his support for both Israel and the Palestinian right to their own state, expressing bewilderment over Ben-Gvir's continued position in the government. The singer also touched on the international debate surrounding potential genocide in Gaza, stating that the term is legally determined by international courts. Bono further accused Ben-Gvir of damaging Judaism's image and called for a political compromise to address the Nakba, emphasizing justice as a fundamental value in Judaism.
In response, Ben-Gvir posted an AI music video on X/Twitter, titled "Gaza to Ireland," urging Bono to listen to his call for Gazans to emigrate to Ireland.
