1. Here's the real Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan is a big supporter of Israel's "settler" movement and the far right-wing racist pro ethnic cleanser Rabbi Meir Kahane. Here's Rabbi Meir Kahane's book: They Must Go:

Here's one comment:

Rabbi Meir Kahane was a prophet for our time. The exponentially growing Israeli-Arab population is a "Cancer" within Israel. Within a short time, they will be the majority within the State of Israel and can "demogratically" vote out Israel and vote in still another ARab State! Thus, They MUST Go!

Rabbi Meir Kahane and his radical, racist, and terroristic views–and his support for extreme Zionist groups–are well known and have been documented by LoonWatch.

DissidentVoice.org says of Dylan’s support for such groups:

Over the past couple decades, Dylan has become a supporter of the Chabad Lubavitch movement, which holds a firm Eretz Israel line regarding the ongoing occupation of the West Bank.


Dylan seems to think that Israel cannot be questioned about how many civilians it kills because God is on Israel’s side:

In 1983, twenty years after he sang, “you don’t count the dead” and “you never ask questions, when God’s on your side,” Dylan penned a song in response to the international outrage over the devastating Israeli assault on Lebanon in 1982, which took the lives of nearly 18,000 Lebanese civilians and wounded about 30,000 others.
