Upset By Terror Attacks On Israel

Yahoo! Music, Dec 4, 2001 10:00 am PST
(12/4/01, 10 a.m. ET) -- Moby is outraged at the continuing loss of innocent people over politics and land. Over the weekend there were three terror attacks by Palestinian suicide bombers on Israeli citizens. A total of 25 people were killed in three different violent acts.

Moby wrote in his online journal, "Damn f--k. Three Palestinian suicide bombings in 24 hours? F--k them. They are killing innocent people. I don't care about the politics involved. I don't care about issues of autonomy and statism. I don't care about avenging historical wrongs. Lots of innocent people are dead, and I don't see how anyone can defend or justify that. What sane Muslim in the world really thinks that Allah is pleased by the deaths of innocent people? Religious fanaticism is getting more and more offensive every day. If you want to be a fanatic, fine, just keep your fanaticism to yourself and stop killing innocent people."

Moby also was nominated for three My VH1 Awards, but lost all of them. In a post on the website he wrote. "I feel guilty because so many of you voted for me for the VH1 Awards and we lost... Oh well, thanks for voting everyone. It means a lot to me, even if I did lose."
