Does @Imaginedragons know that their concert in Israel will take place on what's left of Jarisha, a Palestinnian village ethnically cleansed by Israel on Nakba Day?

Images of the IDF pouring cement into Palestinian wells reminds me of the verse:

Cruel & obscene.
Water warfare is a wanton destruction of the source of life. Israel is a death machine targeting nature as well as Palestinian lives & livelihood.
Bringing test cricket alive again might mean remembering there are other impoverished teams out there who are slowly dying in the format because we cant afford to play.
So they must mean playing exciting games against India and Australia only.
