Kneecap - New Footage

Do you support the torture and permmanent disfigurement of boys, as happened during numerous permanent KNEECAPPINGS?

We Know you support the racist band Kneecap, and think there was no alternative to the murder of English MPs, and support Kneecaps call for the murder of more, so no surprise if you support knecapping also?

Kneecap are Irish men, with Irish passports unfortunately, who wear tricolour and balaclavas, who think there was "no alternative" to the past murder of elected English politicians, and who now call for the murder of more Tory MPs?

Of course they are racist, as is anyone who supports that attitude.

Wonder if they still think the torture and horrific knecapping of boys by men in balaclavas is still OK?

The 3 men from West Belfast see themselves as Irish, and very very different to Tory politicians. Different enough to think there was "no alternative" to the murder of them in the past, and calling for the murder of more of them now.

I do not think a Tory politician would be very safe or comfortable at a Kneecap gig. People have got kneecapped (tortured and made permanently disabled) or killed for less, by people with tricolours/ balaclava.

Anyone who supports the right of a group to shout “Up Hamas Up Hezbollah” at concerts, and to call for democratically elected MPs to be murdered has questions to answer, yes.

Kneecap put the words "F**k Israel, Free Palestine" and "Israel is carrying out a genocide" up on the screens behind them at Coachella. That was enough to enrage many, many Israel / Zionist fanboys and single them out for special treatment compared to the other groups who spoke out against the regime at the festival.

But how many cheered Hamas?

The whataboutery to launder Hamas's image into not being terrorists is hilarious.

But they didn't shout UP HAMAS at Cochella.

Yet they were singled out, primarily by Sharon Osbourne for some reason. And then that got traction.

The UP HAMAS was shouted 18 months ago, and was obviously either saved for a time it was needed, or else their footage searched through to find something incriminating.

Even though 99.9% of attendees at a Kneecap concert were / are probably pro-Kneecap, I wonder will any other footage emerge of racist or sectarian chants from Kneecap gigs? We know they used to sing " maggies in a box etc"....would be surprised if the only thing they ever said about the prods / English was the only good Tory is a dead Tory / kill Tory MP etc. After all, they name themselves after a torture method used by other men in tricolour balaclavas to permanently disable them, and they have never distanced themselves from that.

I didn't say you were an Israel supporter, I raised a query based on your posts on the matter at hand.

The issue of Israel is not a deflection, it is central to the reason they have been at the centre of the manufactured outrage of the last week. The comments they made, though foolish, came to light precisely because they are taking the stance they have on Gaza and they have correctly focused on the hypocrisy of many politicians and 'leaders' such as Starmer and Martin. If Kneecap were shouting F*ck Russia you can be damn sure there would be none of the focus of the last week.

I find your statement about 'performative support to countries that have nothing to do with me' bizarre and frankly myopic but it does explain your approach to this matter. Is all support for 'other' countries 'performative' in your view?

I'm not sure if you've any evidence to back your opinion that Kneecap's support is performative, it's easy to throw out lazy pejorative statements like that. Furthermore, you continue the narrative with your opinion about 'piggybacking on a distance war' - again an opinion with no evidence but your phrase 'distance' is rather telling - as if what is happening in that area is not important, relevant and central to geopolitics today.

As for your 'real' questions

1. Who knows whey they made their comments - they only know that but groups and musicians throughout history have made comments in the arena of performance, it doesn't justify them but it happens.
2. The made a statement of apology, if you wish to interpret it as insincere that is of course entirely up to you, but ultimately it's irrelevant the fact remains they apologised.

Do you ever denounce what Israel are doing? Starving and killing thousands of Palestinian men, women and children?

Not true as I pointed out to many an anti Irish racist in England.

I'm still waiting to see these Kneecap comments everyone else has such confirmed opinions on. Are they viewable by the public yet ?

Don't mind the fake outrage from people about this. The same lot would be giving out if free speech and expression was punishable in any other instance

Do you truly believe that any charges will come from this?

None whatsoever.

Left wing loons can say and do anything without consequence.

Kneecap are racists because they are Irish people / Irish passport holders (unfortunately) and they consider English Tories a different race , so different that they believe there was no alternative to murdering them in the past, and they said the only good Tory MP is a dead one, and they urge people to kill them. Some people do kill MPs, there are some killed almost every decade. One song Kneecap also like to sing is "Maggie in a Box"…the hatred Kneecap have for many English people is very real.

Of course they also hate the Jews. As someone else said, the day after the Nova music festival massacre, Kneecap posted a photo of themselves grinning from ear to ear alongside the words: ‘Solidarity with the Palestinian struggle.’ The bodies of the many hundred of ordinary Jews butchered by Hamas were barely cold before these rappers from Belfast seemed to give smiley support to the militants who did it. ‘Palestinian struggle’, they called it, when what the rest of us saw was a straight-up pogrom in which Israeli youths were raped and murdered without mercy at a trance festival made into a slaughter zone. In surrounding Israeli villages and houses Hamas raped and burnt alive and killed and kidnapped Jewish men, women and children, even babies.

If Kneecap are not Racists with a capital R, I do not know who is. At their concerts Kneecap whip the attendees into a frenzy of faux virtue by getting them to chant ‘F**k Israel’. And what other music group in the world has ever called for the murder of democratically elected MPs in another country? A threat carried out in the past unfortunately by other Irish Republicans in balaclavas, so very sinister?
