"You know what? Israelis, the assault on the Israelis, people are losing sight of something. People saying that, 'Oh, the response is gonna be too intense for what happened.' Well, you don't get to decide on the response when you do heinous things to civilians. You don't get to say, 'Oh, that's enough, that's enough retaliation,'" Snider told TMZ.
"No, it doesn't work like that. When you cross that line, you're burning people, you're slaughtering people, you're raping people, you're just killing people after what happened at that festival, you don't get to say, 'Okay, your revenge can be this much.' No. Payback's a mothereffer. And I come from that school. You cross that line, you know… Sh*t's gonna happen."
"I'm blessed that I get to live my dream because we have people who volunteer to protect our country, protect their countries, and when I hear that they've used my song, the song they've allowed me to write because they defended our freedom, I say, louder and prouder. Sing it out, boys."
