Kneecap - New Footage

I don't know who these people are and i don't like Rap music if that's what they play. Too old for that. Anyone advocating violence is a fool. I have no problem with anyone pointing out Genocide and calling for an end to it but if you advocate violence then it is hypocritical.

I've seen this said on SM but I haven't seen any reliable sources. Is it true or just wishful thinking (on both sides!)

I saw that claim about US visas made on Twitter the other day, but none of it seemed to be sourced. But maybe that's changed since then - no videos at that point IIRC. I haven't seen anything about their management yet.

I do think they would love to play the victim on this though, so I wouldn't be surprised if both their supporters and their detractors were keen to run with these rumours.

That's why I'm waiting for a reliable source before I believe that.

The film is very good and worth a watch. Their music not so much. They hark from an era of the 60's/70's with that attitude. If that attitude was still prevalent in NI to this day, there would be no hope for the place.

They could rebrand as Tar and Feather.

That's the childish defense that Maga morons use to defend their Orange king, "he triggers da libs~" ,yep calling out Israel, the UK & the USA for their role in the genocide of the Palestine people is admirable, but cheerleading terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah is just ugh.

Maybe its triggering reactionary conservatives , but that doesn't mean its something to admire.

Nobody elected Kneecap.

Big difference getting a giggle out of artists doing it and electing someone on that basis.

Saw the video where they're calling for people to kill their local MP's.

They deserve to be dragged over the coals for that, never mind the pro Hamas and Hezbollah rhetoric in other clips circulating.

MP's have been murdered in the UK, so there's absolutely no defending that type of crap.

Claiming to support a Free Palestine and chanting for groups like Hammas and Hezzbollah that offer nothing like a free country has nothing to do with balls size, but everything to do with brain size. At best it complete and utter stupidity, at worse complete and utter psychotic.

And as for people thinking this is playing into the hands of zionists, that’s why support of Palestine is associated with anti semitism.

Who needs enemies when you have people like this claiming to be on your side?

Just on the RTE news, US Visas cancelled.

Didn't realise they were that old. I kinda gave them a bit of leeway because I thought they were in their early 20's.

The lad in his 30's should certainly remember as much as me so should have a fair idea what it was like.

Still though all the controversy is essentially feeding the trolls.

How is their own behaviour "playing into the hands of the zionists" exactly? the "zionists" arent forcing them to loudly support terrorist groups and call for politicians to be murdered. That's their own stupid fault and the only people they have to blame for the consequences are themselves

Yeah. Hammas great bunch of lads, and given their attitude towards music festivals it makes perfect sense for artistes to support them.

Left wing terrorism is far more dangerous in the EU then right wing and these are poster boys for left wing extremism. Dangerous individuals and it's such a shame these guys are the poster boys for my native tongue.

I'm still happy they promote the language but they need to open a history book.
