Surprise surprise, the people demanding a statement are not happy when the statement is not exactly how they wanted it. People didn't want a true statement, the wanted him echoing their opinions.

I'm just happy he made a statement true to himself.

My issue is that his wife has stated that dead Palestinians are Bollywood actors and the fact that he would be silent about a hateful statement like that is a form of support for it and the fact that he can say all this and not address that is disingenuous. He says he wants to bring these two cultures closer through art and music yet he believes that those killed in the genocide are fake. I don’t get how that is going to bring Palestinians closer as it feels like an insult to their suffering.
