Thinking about it now, I'm actually super shocked that the Israel thing didn't get brought up at all (that I saw) when everyone was bringing up old, problematic things. I'm not complaining... just surprised.

Scared if anyone did she might have posted another opinion about that... we all know that wouldn’t go down well

First it was that James Bond (Sean Connery) picture and now the "From Here to Eternity" film snippet. 

 

I bet Lana Del Rey is feeling nostalgic and retro-like. 

Probably a "hint" as to her next album musical-themes will be like ----> BACK TO THE 1960s

 

I love that retro-vintage stuff  ---- Music was Hip and Swing was the Thing !  :D

i was thinking about this today, kinda. in my view the israel thing was infinitely worse & didn't get anywhere near the backlash this did. personally, it was the closest i ever got to unstanning her (and by this i mean downright stop listening to her music) - and tbh if she hadn't canceled the show, even if she did so with a lame ass excuse, i probably would've.

 

not to say she didn't do/say anything wrong this time, but ultimately the victims/targets of her ignorance and tone deafness here are rich, famous, successful women. in the israel debacle she showed a total disregard for the lives of oppressed, colonized, poor civilians & an unwillingness to listen to those who tried to explain to her why it was wrong to perform there.

 

this is not an invitation to discuss the israel-palestine conflict, btw. i've learned my lesson re: discussing politics on lb. my point is that this goes to show how hypocritical and performative a lot of these concerned responses are, how people care so very much when it's a pop culture matter & someone they idolize is being targeted, but not when it affects regular brown people dying in another continent.
