I don't think it's too surprising that American bands aren't as clued in for a start. BDS seems to be a Brit-centric operation (Waters, Loach, Eno, Leigh).
Secondly, Radiohead are a very socially conscious group for want of a better phrase. They've played gigs for Amnesty, for Drop the Debt, Tibert, they've campaigned against Blair and Bush, as Unicron said they did one tour entirely without corporate advertising and another attempting to be carbon neutral. They're a band who think pretty deeply about the consequences of their actions as a group. Which is why it's strange to people that they've clearly read and disseminated articles such as the following but chose to turn a blind eye on this one
Why Palestine is Still the Issue
