Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood: Bob Dylan told us to come to Israel

May 29, 2014 11:11 am By Robert Spencer

bob-dylan-Ron-wood-hyde-park-1996While the BDS movement and Pink Floyd’s execrable Roger Waters tried to intimidate the Stones into cancelling their stop in Tel Aviv, one artist was clear-sighted and noble, and encouraged them to go there.

“Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood: Dylan told us to come to Israel,” by David Brinn, Jerusalem Post, May 27, 2014:

Ronnie Wood, guitarist for The Rolling Stones, revealed Monday that Bob Dylan put the idea in the Stones’ circle to include Israel as a tour stop.

In an interview with Channel 2 in response to written questions ahead of the Stones’ Israel debut on June 4, Wood said that one time after seeing Dylan perform, the singer made the suggestion.

He was coming offstage and said “we’re going to Tel Aviv.” He had a big smile on his face, and he said he loved it there,” said Wood. “I said, we’ve never been there, so we’ll have to go play there one day, so there you go.”

One of the band’s co-founders, guitarist Keith Richards, said in the TV interview segment that he was excited about the Stones’ European tour which begins Monday night in Oslo, with their show at Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park being their fourth stop.

“By the time we get to Tel Aviv, it should be the Rolling Stones on full power, all 12 cylinders,” said Richards.

    Dylan is Jewish as you all may know. I have said here many times that PC liberal Jews are some of Isreal biggest enemies and more often than not they are in entertainment business as I am and I deal with them a lot. But this is so encouraging. One may not agree with all the policies of the Israeli government and their mafia style economy, but one who stands for freedom must support Isreal and what it stands for, the only democracy in a s… hole called the middle east. There is no 2 ways about it. M

      What pray tell, do you mean by “their mafia style economy”

        6 families control more that 50% of the Israeli economy. The do not have Sabanese-Oxly act of the US Senate nor do they have anti trust law suits. m

      Israel has one of the most productive economies in the world. It’d be even more productive if it were not forced to expend so much resources on defense against Jihad mass murder efforts.

      Mariam, with due respect, I disagree. Israel gets slandered constantly. Israel operates according to a brilliant capitalism, which has all the moral problems of capitalism everywhere. Capitalism despite its moral problems remains morally superior to any other well-known or widely practiced form of economic order. Why is Israel condemned in the UN more than all other nations combined? Much more than the abysmally evil North Korean and Saudi Arabian governments? The answer, to me, is clear. The 50+ Islamic nations make up the largest voting bloc at the UN. The Qur’an’s many verses of vicious anti-semitism, and the totalitarian and authoritarian immoderacy of Islamic nations and Islamic public opinion, guarantee the absurd and repeated condemnations of Israel. Given Israel’s situation in the midst of would-be genocidal governments all around it, and regular violent attacks against its citizens by jihadists, Israel’s institutions are among the most humane and respectful of human rights of any nation in the world — arguably more humane and respectful of fundamental and individual human rights than even the institutions of the U.S.A., my own government. If the U.S. had been attacked and its citizens slaughtered in the percentages in which Israel’s citizens have been during the decades of its existence, the U.S. would probably be a good deal less respectful of human rights than is Israel today. Israel like any nation should be criticized, but the criticism should be in proper perspective: compared to what, in other words. Compared to others, Israel is morally one of the best places in the world, despite any and all of Israel’s moral inadequacies.

        Agree 100%

        Hi Traeh! I agree with everything you posted here. But my statement about the Israeli economy was not meant to be degrading them. Unfortunately the statement I made is correct and true . I do not believe in any god, but if you do, then god bless Israel. M

          Miriam, who are these six families? And what businesses are they in that they control more than 50% of the economy? This is all very new to me.

          Hi Mariam!
          There is apparently anti-trust action in Israel:

          Hi Miriam, I also don’t believe in any god. I am from Jewish parents and have lived in Israel. I am a firm supporter of Israel and yet do not agree with all of the government’s decisions. What you reported as a ring f truth in it. I continue to support Israel and at the same time am critical of them. No country is perfect!

      • Mac-101 says

        May 29, 2014 at 10:14 pm

        I am a strong supporter of Israel. But I would not say “Israel is morally one of the best places in the world”. Many of our financial thief’s that steal MILLIONS got here for refuge.

    You can get no satisfaction until you go to Israel!

  3. Alarmed Pig Farmer says

    May 29, 2014 at 1:07 pm

    The only reason to not go to Israel is that there are a lotta Arabs there and things can be quite risky for Infidels there. Just ask the Jewish kids slaughtered in the school bus, the Jewish family throat cut in their home, or the folks lazing at the coffee shop when it was blown to bits by a planted bomb.

    Maybe Roger Waters should bring up those reality-based events when urging bands to not play dates in Israel.

    • Laura says

      May 31, 2014 at 12:26 am

      Who does Roger Waters think his is anyhow?

      You can’t even compare Pink Floyd to the Rolling Stones which is without doubt the most successful rock bands of all times

      Plus Jagger was knighted…the Stones have even agreed to start their show a little later to accomodate observant Jews

  4. Islam_Macht_Frei says

    Let’s hope that BDS “Can’t get no….no SATISFACTION”

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      May 29, 2014 at 1:43 pm

      But, the double negative would mean that they *can* get satisfaction.

    Bob Dylan:

    Well the neighborhood bully he’s just one man
    His enemies say he’s on their land
    They got him outnumbered about a million to one
    He got no place to escape to no place to run
    He’s the neighborhood bully
    The neighborhood bully just lives to survive
    He’s criticized and condemned for being alive
    He’s not supposed to fight back he’s supposed to have thick skin
    He’s supposed to lie down and die when his door is kicked in
    He’s the neighborhood bully

    I’ve always loved the Stones. Kudos to them !

    Question; Have they been threatened by mohammedans for this, as other musicians and artists have ?

    I’ve googled, but cant’ find anything.

  7. mortimer says

    May 30, 2014 at 11:17 am

    Thanks Bob. Most people forget that Zionism is secular in nature. Israel, a secular, pluralistic nation in the Middle East is a shining light to the supremacist, intolerant Arab regimes surrounding it.

    Bob Dylan! Always my music hero! Bob was Jewish, converted to Christianity many years ago. “Slow Train Coming” was one of his 3 Christian albums. I think it was 3.

    • bernie says

      Jun 1, 2014 at 11:08 pm

      I believe that Dylan flirted with Christianity in the 70s, but didn’t
      In any case,he is now very involved with Chabad..

    Bit late to this thread due to tec issues back in May ’14. My tuppenceworth is that I think Roger Waters is a dirtbag. . I used to live down the road from him in East Sheen by Richmond Park, and never got his windows cleaned – unlike Phil Lynot in Kew, whose windows I shined up until his sad demise.
    Anyhows, y’all know what I think about Dylan, despite the fact that he’s never given me any work.
