In an interview with The Jewish Chronicle last year, Sharon Osbourne recalled her husband’s fondness for Judaism, saying he wanted to understand all the hate that many Jews face and noting that the rocker was confused as to why antisemitism was so rife.

Ozzy played in Israel several times. His first show was headlining Ozzfest in Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park, prior to which Ozzy and Sharon spent a day visiting Jerusalem’s Old City, the Kotel and Yad Vashem. Eight years later, the musician was back again on his No More Tours 2 farewell tour, performing in Rishon LeZion.

More than this though, Ozzy was a fierce defender of Israel and the Jewish people. In 2025, he and Sharon joined more than 200 figures in the entertainment and business world, signing an open letter demanding an inquiry into “systematic bias against Israel” at the BBC.

Sounds like he's just a kind dumbass who happened to be married to a ~~moderate~~ rabid zionist and never even got the memo about Isreal being primarily a white supremacist genocidal entity
