“It’s disturbing how many people I’ve come into contact with who have blindly embraced the Palestinian side of the current (Sadly, I assume it will still be current, even when this record comes out months down the road from when I write this) Middle East conflict. Certainly, there are also tons of folks who blindly support the Israeli side of the issue. Those who blindly support the Israelis are also disturbing, but these are not the folks who I come into contact with regularly at shows etc., hence the title of the song. While I certainly have feelings on the issue, the situation is too complicated to go into here (Especially when rhyming & singing. Holy shit!). The song is about certain people and their willingness to latch onto a side of an issue without comprehending the issue (NOT about those who do not agree with me, who DO understand the issue). But suffice it to be said that it’s frightening and trivializing when people simplify complex issues as if they’re Star Wars-esque, and pick a side (Either side) to root for as if it were a football game. And yes, that is my dog, Books barking during the youth crew shouts at the end.”
