@MrsSOsbourne will you please use your voice @MrsSOsbourne to stop the relentless bombing and destruction of Gaza and please get food to the people who are starving due to blockade on Gaza?

🚨 RÁITEAS/STATEMENT: @Independent_ie: Berlin police ban speaking or singing in Irish at pro-Palestine ‘ciorcal comhrá’ near Reichstag. We can see no reason why anyone should be compelled to use only German or English while attending a Palestine solidarity protest in Germany.

2 months with no aid. 50,000+ civilians killed. Why is @Eurovision still giving Israel a global stage? Sign and share to #BanIsraelFromEurovision until this war ends: secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/eu…

@MrsSOsbourne @goldenvoice They just said the truth Israel is bombing Palestine from the Sky, America is funding the state of Israel. They did not mention anything in the video about the terrible act of violence on October 7th. Is it not spiritual to support people who are being bombed and starved?

Coachella 2025 will be remembered as a festival that compromised its moral and spiritual integrity. Goldenvoice, the festival organizer, facilitated this by allowing artists to use the Coachella stage as a platform for political expression. At a time when the world is experiencing significant unrest, music should serve as an escape, not a stage for political discourse. While festivals like Coachella showcase remarkable talent from around the globe, music's primary purpose is to unite people. It should not be a venue for promoting terrorist organizations or spreading hate. Green Day, a band I personally admire, chose to share their views on the Middle East during their Coachella performance. While I respect their right to express their opinions, such discussions would have been more appropriate at their own concert, not at a festival. Kneecap, an Irish rap group, took their performance to a different level by incorporating aggressive political statements. Their actions included projections of anti-Israel messages and hate speech, and this band openly support terrorist organizations.  This behavior raises concerns about the appropriateness of their participation in such a festival and further shows they are booked to play in the USA. Reports indicate that Goldenvoice was unaware of Kneecap's political intentions when they were booked. However, after witnessing their performance during the first weekend, allowing them to perform again the following weekend suggests support of their rhetoric and a lack of due diligence. Scooter Braun, who has been involved in organizing the Nova Music Festival exhibit—a tribute to the victims of the October 7th attacks in Israel—has defended Goldenvoice CEO Paul Tollett as he attended the Nova Exhibit. If Tollett visited the Nova exhibit, he would have seen the portraits of every person that was killed that day and heard some of their voices on cell phone recordings, sent home to their loved ones. It is difficult to comprehend how if somebody saw this exhibit firsthand that they could book a band on their festival that is in support of what was done that day and supports the group responsible for this mass murder. Not one IDF solider was killed that day, just 1400 innocent civilians. Furthermore, the Independent Artists Group, which represents Kneecap, includes individuals of Jewish heritage. It is disheartening that they have not used their positions to prevent the promotion of such controversial messages. Shame on them. As someone with both Irish Catholic on my Mothers side  and Ashkenazi Jewish heritage on my Fathers side, and extensive experience in the music industry, I understand the complexities involved. Goldenvoice's claim of being "blindsided" by Kneecap's performance seems implausible given the circumstances. I know for a fact that certain people in the industry had written to Goldenvoice, airing their concerns around the booking of Kneecap.  I urge you to join me in advocating for the revocation of Kneecap’s work visa.

KNEECAP STATEMENT: They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide. Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria. Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history. We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action. This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation. All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel. At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head. Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine. This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards. To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt. Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs. No smear campaign will change that. Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain. The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power. Shame on them.

@DavidTaylor85 @glastonbury Would it no be a better idea to do something to save lives, like ask Israel to stop bombing Gaza, to stop destroying all hospitals and education centres, to stop setting tents on fire. To allow aid, electricity and water to flow into Gaza?

I've written to @glastonbury urging them to remove Kneecap based on their alleged behaviour and the widely reported footage. Allegedly calling for the murder of colleagues is abhorrent, I stand in solidarity with MPs from across the House. Violence has no place in politics.

Louis Theroux’s “The Settlers” (2025) — full documentary. This is a must-watch to understand how Israel was built, the people that come from all over the world to take land and what is currently happening due to its expansionist mentality.

@TheLiberal_ie I wondering how is Ireland is full, if population was 8.5 million in 1840 and it is only 5.3 million now.
