Is Phil Collins an anti-Semite?

I have heard this rumor off and on for years.

Anyone know the truth?

I have never heard this rumor. Could you post the alleged offenses he has committed?

I’ve never heard it either (and I’m a big Genesis fan). Do you have more details?

I am not ignoring, I am looking.

Give me time.

I heard that he gave large donations to the PLO.

This web page, that holds an archived mailing list discussion, has the posting by a guy who says “Some woman told me once that Phil Collins was mentioned on an AIPAC (America Israel Public Affairs Committee) list as being pro-PLO and anti-Israel”. The poster is asking if this is true, but there’s no definitive answer from anyone in the archived thread.

Well, I’m pro-PLO and anti-Israel, but I am by no means and anti-Semite. I just don’t think the land should have been taken away from the Palestinians to create a new country.

keep in mind, just because someone is giving money to the PLO, it does not, in any way, follow that they are anti-Semitic.

Palestinians are Semites. Giving money to the PLO does not make him an anti-Semite. Anti-Zionist/Israel, possibly, assuming what you heard was true.

I can’t wait for this quote to be taken out of context in one of the religion threads over in GD.

WAY ahead of you, Oldscratch…
