His speech begins after he reflects on the peaceful scene before him:
At the same time this positive is happening, at the same fucking time, not even that far away, fucking dropping bombs on each other. And I get if war is the last resort… I get it, I get it….
But I swear to fucking god, there are some people out there who are looking for a reason to kill. They’re looking for a reason to go across borders and take over land that doesn’t belong to them and they should get the fuck out and mind their own fucking business…
[They should make some art, listen to music… eat, work, love] Everyone’s the fucking same. So why are people at war. Stop the f— sh-t, now!
We don’t want to give them our money, they don’t get our taxes, to drop bombs on children. Now!
[Segueing into War’s antiwar anthem] War, what is it good for, absolutely nothing!
I see the Jerusalem Post has the story, as an “anti-Israel rant.” Yes, political culture is changing.
Of course it’s anti-Israel, if “Israel” stands for ‘taking US tax money to drop bombs on children’.

Wow, threatening to wipe Vedder off the FB map. That’s harsh. Should Red find Vedder in Israel, is he also going to push him into the sea (of Galilee)?
Say the names next time, Eddie, say the names.
I hope that Sasha and Malia will show this to their Mom and Dad. I hope that this goes viral. Congresscrits have kids, some might love PJ.
Thank you MW, Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam.
Also the Neil Young gig in Israel is off. Some are saying that the security people told him not to come citing “security” issues.
Whatever.
