The 66-year-old Weller has recently expressed his support for Palestine and displayed the Palestinian flag during his live performances in the United Kingdom. In an interview with The Guardian, Weller responded to questions about the flag and articulated his stance against genocide and ethnic cleansing with these words: “Am I against genocides and ethnic cleansing? Yes, strangely enough, I am. I can't understand why more people aren't standing up about what's happening. I think we should be ashamed of ourselves. One minute you're supplying bullets, bombs, and guns, and the next you're sending food. How does that work?” With these statements, Weller clearly expressed his outrage towards the conflicts and the international community's lack of response.
