    It’s anti Israel, being a force of Israel. The big trick is Israel conflating all criticism with bigotry.

    You know what’s really damaging? Genocide. Crimea against humanity.

      This whole situation has been a textbook example of the Streisand Effect lmao

      Literally never heard of them before. Bought 3 digital albums and a vinyl copy of their latest one just this week.

        Didn’t care much for the music although I like the message. I heard about Kneecap on BBC when Mo Chara was in jail, and I love this group. I’m not sure what they did after Bob Vylan played but there is an attempt to get their performance scrubbed from the internet.
