KNEECAP STATEMENT: Since our statements at Coachella — exposing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people — we have faced a coordinated smear campaign. For over a year, we have used our shows to call out the British and Irish governments' complicity in war crimes. The recent attacks against us, largely emanating from the US, are based on deliberate distortions and falsehoods. We are taking action against several of these malicious efforts. Let us be absolutely clear. The reason Kneecap is being targeted is simple — we are telling the truth, and our audience is growing. Those attacking us want to silence criticism of a mass slaughter. They weaponize false accusations of antisemitism to distract, confuse, and provide cover for genocide. We do not give a f*ck what religion anyone practices. We know there are massive numbers of Jewish people outraged by this genocide just as we are. What we care about is that governments of the countries we perform in are enabling some of the most horrific crimes of our lifetimes — and we will not stay silent. No media spin will change this. Our only concern is the Palestinian people — the 20,000 murdered children and counting. The young people at our gigs see through the lies. They stand on the side of humanity and justice. And that gives us great hope. Kneecap ❤️

We're also never coming back from the liberal obsession with "innocent" victims and its tacit corollary: that if a racist US court system deems people criminals, it's okay to send them to rot in a Salvadoran mega-prison.

This is so true. There would still be genocide, violent crackdowns on protests, silencing of political dissent, and increasing deportations while militarizing the border...but liberals would ignore it all so they could enjoy their brunch.

An easy way to tell if your resistance rally is genuine resistance or hollow, sanitized performance is to check if a politician who earlier in the week voted to send $9 billion dollars worth of weapons to Israel is present.

The holocaust in Gaza is the defining crisis of our time and should be treated as such by any protest organizer or participant. You can’t “fight fascism” while ignoring the most fascist act of all.

There it is.

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

Per @kenklippenstein's leaked State Dept doc ordering agents to monitor all student visa holders' social media posts, evidence that someone has criticized the US government on social media can lead to a finding that they are a terrorist. Totally unprecedented.

media literacy is lost on all of you

Me, to everyone I see generating AI slop in the style of Studio Ghibli:

Maybe we should be mad about the actual bombings, not just the group chat about the bombings.

“My religious book says that I have the right to take your land! So why don’t you leave?!” from a leading Democrat politician is pretty dystopian

Hamdan Ballal, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning film “No Other Land,” has been beaten and taken by Israeli settlers, TMZ reports.

This is radical fascist language and we would recognize it as such if instead he said “there cannot be peace with the Jews because they don’t believe in Jesus”.

Schumer may not have intended it this way but he actually shows here that the Palestinian case is perfectly rational while the Israeli case depends on a theology that only they believe in. If that's "the reason there is not peace" then Palestinians are not at fault.
