Leftists on the internet are attempting to posthumously cancel the late Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne for supporting and performing in the state of Israel.
Tributes from all corners of the internet poured in for Osbourne, the father of heavy metal and trailblazer of reality television, who died on Tuesday — but some anti-Israel keyboard warriors tried to spoil the moment.
“Ozzy Osbourne was a supporter of Zionism,” account Antifa Ultras wrote on X, garnering over 95,000 likes and nearly 7 million impressions.
“He broke the boycott by performing in Israel and, during a time when thousands of children in Gaza were being killed, he called on other artists to do the same. Never forget that,” the post concluded.
The “Paranoid” singer twice performed in the Jewish state — first with 2010’s Ozzfest in Tel Aviv and then in 2018 as part of his “No More Tours 2” tour, The Times of Israel reported.
Another X account, “ProudSocialist,” said Osbourne had “a stain on his legacy” over his stance on the Israel-Hamas war.
“Ozzy Osbourne recently signed a letter to stop the BBC from airing a documentary chronicling Israel’s genocide in Gaza,” the user tweeted. “It’s a stain on his legacy and a far cry from his Black Sabbath days when he released the song ‘War Pigs’, which condemned leaders who initiate wars for profit.”

A third keyboard warrior slammed the legendary musician’s support for Israel — calling him a “rabid zionist.”
“This is who y’all are celebrating. Ozzy Osbourne was a rabid zionist who just this year was commended by the Israeli government for calling out the ‘systematic bias against Israel’ by the BBC,” the account dubbed People’s City Council – Los Angeles wrote on X.
Though not Jewish himself, the one-time “Black Sabbath” frontman became a fierce opponent of antisemitism due to his Jewish wife, Sharon.
“Ozzy is so confused by it all and just keeps asking me to explain why there is so much hatred of Jews,” Sharon said in an interview with Jewish News in 2023. “What do I say?”
Back in 2024, The Great Ozz publicly turned down rapper Kanye West, who supposedly asked to sample the classic song “Iron Man” — writing in a tweet he wanted “no association” with the “antisemite.”
