Kneecap - New Footage

The Israeli invasion of Gaza has generated more reports of selective bias in favour of Israel than any other conflict in modern history

Media coverage of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict - Wikipedia

Notable is the issue of selective reporting by much of the state media organisations such as RTE and BBC. For example, you won't hear about this report from STC:

IN GAZA, NEARLY EVERY SINGLE CHILD IS AT RISK OF FAMINE  - SAVE THE CHILDREN | Save the Children International

From RTE and BBC websites today.

Also covered by many other media outlets.

Ok, so RTE put it up around the same time I posted it on here. Their coverage is still one-sided, conservative and non-inflammatory even when there are Israeli war crimes involved.

I expect coverage to be truthful not inflammatory.

There are good sources of news if you do your research.

Did'nt the families of the last MP killed 2 years ago reject Kneecaps apology because it was so half hearted?

There have been numerous attacks on Tory MPs since Kneecaps call for their followers to murder them, but thankfully no murders and it is not 100% sure how many attacks if any were as a result of Kneecap.

As I said 2 days ago at 11.16pm, and I gave a link to back it up: You or Kneecap may not be aware how often some MPs are threatened. For example, one female politician "had received three death threats in one week alone, and another spent her birthday 'dealing with' a constituent who was threatening to slit her throat and those of her staff."

Another politician spoke of "having to put a restraining order on a constituent who was threatening her safety. Needing to use restraining orders is not unusual."

Would you ever listen to yourself. There are poor people in every country. There are also rich people in every country. Did you know that just one BMW garage in London ( and there are many) will sell more new BMWs that all of the BMW garages in Ireland put together each year?.

Your gripe with poloticians you do not agree with is no excuse to physically attack them. You are sinking to the level of that racist group Kneecap if you think attacks on innocent poloticians can be justified.

I see you are making the usual mistake of those in the wrong that by trying to understand the behaviour of someone equals excusing them or justifying their behaviour.

It's pathetic and we can all see it.

There may be poor people all over the world. However, there is no need for the level of poverty in the UK. It's a rich nation, as you say, look at it's BMW sales. It could be a fairer nation, were it not for Tory policies that enrich the wealthy and their neighbourhoods and impoverish the poorer ones.

You really have a problem understanding my posts and putting your own "translation" on it.

Nowhere did I encourage or have sympathy on this thread for "racists" (they're not) like Kneecap.

I have not tarred any members of the Tory party as English.

And lastly, I am not trying to "drag the world" back anywhere.

I can no longer engage with someone who is just a bad faith poster.

Greater London has a population that is 3.5m more than the Republic of Ireland. Thus selling more BMWs per annum is expected.

Last comprehensive poverty rate figures are for 2022 - Ireland on 5.3% and the UK on 21.0%. and the gap is worsening. The UK doesn't have the per capita wealth to sort out their issues. Ireland does. Whether there's the will………

It's okay. A sinn fein politician said it once, so he's running with it. Sticking to it fast in fact, so much so you would imagine that sinn fein could say anything and he would run with it and repeat it forever.

According to the internet people in one country can be racist towards people in another country too.

As noted before, many well known Sinn Fein politicians seen to think so too and talk of anti-Irish racism in the past. For example, Sinn Fein MP Michelle Gildrenew, in 2021 wrote "it is deeply concerning and quite frankly infuriating that in 2021, anti-Irish and anti-Traveller racism continues in Britain."

You have not answered the questions. Do you think there can never ever be such a thing as anti-English Racism coming from Ireland, because we are all goody goody in Ireland. OR do you think an Irishman / band calling on their followers to kill MPs in England is ok because at least they did not call on their followers to kill MPs in Ireland? And English lives are worth less than Irish lives?

Why did Kneecap call on their followers to murder politicians MPs in England but not MPs in N. Ireland? Do you not think Kneecap are similar to dissident Republicans in that they think it fun to be photographed on what appears to be a vandalised / damaged PSNI Land Rover, with smoke bellowing etc, and they said the PSNI were like the RUC, who they also denigrated?

Do you not think it very hypocritical of S.F. to complain of something relatively minor, anti-Irish racial discrimination (it was not life or death) but not to complain of anti-English racial discrimination (well, Kneecap called for the murder of MPs in England, but not Irish MPs) from Kneecap (many MPs have been attacked, intimidated and some murdered)?

From now on, if I heard someone supported Kneecap, I'd be wondering if they also had a soft spot for dissidents and for Racism towards the English? Because dressing up in a Balaclava and calling for the murder of MPs in England ( but not MPs in Ireland) could not be described as anything but Racism?

They didn't protest against genocide, they showed support for Hamas and Hezbollah, two terrorist organisation.

That isn't the main problem with their remarks, their call to kill Tory MPs is clearly an incitement to hatred.

Kneecap are just three very thick and ignorant lads who have got more success than they deserve.

"From now on, if I heard someone supported Kneecap, I'd be wondering if they also had a soft spot for dissidents and for Racism towards the English?"

Utter nonsense!

I'm going to see them later this summer with some English friends. They are very popular in England.

Shouting "Up Hamas" is not protesting against genocide, it is encouraging terrorist violence.

As for their comments about Tory MPs, that is just gutter-level stuff.

Politicians are subject to all sorts of threats on a daily basis, and groups like Kneecap are worse for encouraging it.

You're focusing in on one comment from one of the three band members as opposed to all their pro palestine and anti-genocide comments.

Seems like you've an agenda here as well, deflecting from the main issue, ie GENOCIDE and MURDER OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN, to comments about Tories from 3 years ago.
