there are wars and genocide going on all around the world, but because Israel have retaliated to the Hamas atrocities, all the antisemites are up in arms
These very little mention of Hamas when the pro Palestians are in full flow
If the same thing was going on in say DR Congo, would anyone really give a shite ?

showing their pro Palestian support shouldn't be lost on people
I saw Bobby Vylan in 2021 supporting Biffy Clyro, it was cringe worthy stuff even then
He was chanting death to the queen, saying he hopes she dies a painful death
I don't go to a concert to be preached to
These no marks try and attach themselves to whatever is popular at the time to try and make themselves newsworthy
Just like that weasel Jamie "fcuk the tories" Webster Previous Message
not my kind of music so haven't heard the sets but it seems the most contentious thing has been encouraging chants of "death to the IDF". Strong stuff, yes, and not something I would have joined in with personally - once you start going down the road of saying calls to violence are justified in one particular case you are on a slippery slope.
But I think the idea was to increase publicity and scrutiny of what the IDF are actually up to Gaza, and in that sense it has worked.
The usual suspects are of course popping up to call it antisemitism, the definition of which seems to have changed from "hatred of Jews" to "anything critical of the Israeli state". I wish they'd stop with this disingenuous bullshit.
Keir Starmer saying it was "not appropriate" for Kneecap to perform probably boosted their popularity no end. Extra cool points there.
