With respect, Dick, you're missing the point here. Which is that, just because someone is a performer - or a listener - why should their political/social opinions have to be placed before the public during the performing or listening experience.

I passionately support a couple of charities which I strongly believe in, but my music makes no mention of them - and why should it? And why should I expect my audiences to have the same priorities as me?

Michael may have very strong opinions on Jews and Jewishness - but you don't have the faintest idea how he may or may not support that Jewishness outside his music. We know him as a singer of songs - we don't know anything about his political inertia or lack of it. And it's an intrusion to suggest anything either way.

Public music-making and private opinions do not necessarily have to run in tandem.
