Good they were arrested by the Singapore Police, banned re-entry and deported. It's possible to run SG well, because Singapore's a tiny 735 sq km island, with 2m citizens, and about 3mn permanent residents. The rest are expats. So it's easy to manage it.
The reason Singapore gov't took this action isn't because Israel's got close ties with Singapore who are surrounded by Muslim Malaysia to the north and then to her south: Muslim Indonesia (a big population center for Muslims).
No, the reason is because "Massive Attack" is seen like P***y Riot by Russia, as "cool" or popular, so they are social influencers, who spark off waves of Instagram or social media or YouTubers, or TikTokers, into copying them, to ride a trend, by also chanting it, free Palestine, they then look on Jews with contempt, then bargain or justify making attacks, pander to Hamas, or otherwise act in oppressive, adversarial ways to win points with their community.
I feel like, for the better part, of the last century, the Jews have only ever been hostages to the Arab terror groups who attack them.
There are over 150 countries who recognize Palestine, but that 2 state solution isn't a real solution. They've had a 2 state solution since 1948. That has never worked. In 1967, they'll keep fighting over map borders, with Golan Heights war, they'll keep fighting for property rights, forever. In any country, in the courts, property disputes are the most common, and longest lasting.
When there's so much religious animosity, so much blood spilled, so much global momentum for both Christian Evangelist Zionism or Muslim lobbying of Palestine's right to co-exist. There's only ever reward, attention and "honor" for violence. There is no incentive for any true peace.
If there could have been a peace, it would have come in 1970s, or 1980s, or 1990s, or 2000s, or 2010s, and 2020s. It didn't come. It's not coming. It won't come. Only when there is ONE state, when there is ONE winner, can there be a real peace. That's just the way it is.
