Kneecap - New Footage

I will say that they could have gone farther. In their presentation that caused all the kerfuffle, they pointed out how The Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people was supported by the US. At the end of the slides, it showed

F*CK ISRAEL

FREE PALESTINE

I would put any money on it that they either were talked out of, or backed out of writing, "F*CK THE USA" (Because of where they were).

I would not be surprised if it makes an appearance at their future concerts, outside of the US.

**** the Tories

Ouch!

In Ireland, incitement to hatred is a crime defined by the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act 1989. It involves communicating threatening, abusive, or insulting material that is intended or likely to "stir up" hatred against a group of people based on their race, color, nationality, religion, ethnic or national origins etc.

Because the sectarian racist group Kneecap called for the murder of British politicians I really hope the book is thrown at them, especially as they are such an influence on young people and as some of their fellow Republicans in balaclavas have actually murdered British politicians they disagreed with. Whipping crowds of followers in to a frenzy is very dangerous and calling for the murder of elected democratic politicians is despicable.

Hamas

As an aside isn't it great fun to argue with random boards users about a conflict that (hopefully) doesn't directly effect us on a Sunday night and have the freedom to do so

Hamas work for Benjamin, not a single action from Hamas has ever resulted in anything positive for the Palestinians and every action gives 'justification' for the brutality of the IDF, Hamas are the greatest tool of the Israeli state

Brave to do it in one respect, but the risk of being banned for life from from gigging in the USA and maybe the UK would make me refrain from deeply political rants onstage. Especially when everyone records gigs on their phones these days. Nothing ever goes away on the internet.

Encouraging support for terrorists is hardly clever.

Making pathetic comments about dead tories is equally so.

TThese Tyoes of comments show how truly uneducated and untalented these morons are.

They get a little bit of credit fir being so 'radical' and it goes to their little heads.

I didn't so I'm glad I know about it now. Dangerous group.

It'll be a shock for the nordy lads,but you can condemn both sides.

Hamas are probably the Palestinians worst enemy. There have been anti Hamas protests in Gaza,which is extremely dangerous as there's a good chance they'll murder you.

Kneecap digging too many holes for themselves.Visas specifically for their booked events as artistes and via one booking agent.

I watched it last night - two wrongs and all of that would be my view. Given the views of the Jews in that documentary we’re a million miles away from peace in the Middle East.
However I also don’t support the terrorist organisations mentioned by this group and 100 of those documentaries wouldn’t make me change my mind - I never had sympathy for the IRA nor did I have a good word for Margaret Thatcher and her government - in Ireland, we had John Hume and the SDLP taking a different route to peace- if there’s a Palestinian equivalent they’re certainly not being heard very clearly but I don’t at all condone the terrorist route.

In terms of kneecap, now that the anti terrorist unit of the UK police force are involved, there’s every likelihood a prosecution will take place regarding their comments around death to MPs- these guys are not known for their sense of humour.

Just like you don’t joke about a bomb in your luggage as you approach an airport security checkpoint, there are certain things that will draw the attention of authorities towards you in 2025- in fact, I would have been more surprised had they not found themselves subject to investigation - some people are just thick and I think that label can be given to members of kneecap very easily.
It’s not an attack on their song writing -these comments aren’t part of any freedom of art expression - they’re stupid and ill thought out comments and acts which serve no purpose - the band deserve whatever is thrown at them

So that regime is dangerous but the regime blowing children apart is ok?
