Irish rappers Kneecap barred from entering Canada: 'Dangerous endorsements of violence and hate'
-
That’s fair, since they’re on the record as endorsing groups that are recognized by the Canadian government as terrorist entities:
A 2024 performance reportedly caught a group member cheering “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah.”
I don’t think you can take a single live artististic performance as “being on the record for endorsing” anything.
Eminem wasn’t endorsing everything in his lyrics.

what do you think of them?
what do you think of october 7th?

How, they equated Hezbollah to the IDF. Regardless of any arguments about equivalence or lack thereof, I don’t think a zionist would ever do that.
Some people here think everything is a Marvel movie with one perfectly good side and one perfectly bad one. Any deviation from that and they slap you with the “bad guy” label. Only a complete moron would read my post and interpret it as meaning I’m a zionist.

To be even more fair; you’re directly quoting misinformation released by the Canadian government in support of Israel and their mass murder of Palestinian people (aka, genocide). This misinformation is a result of “Jewish” groups, which recently have shown themselves as basically being lapdogs for the Israeli state.
Kneecap aren’t anti-semetic, they are anti-Israel and as much as Israeli fascists want it to be; being against the Israeli state is not the the same as being against Jews.
Is this video misinformation? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ie5qs

Who are we to judge people how they resist their occupier. Canada certainly is not in a historical posture to pitch in on how to resist genocide.

Hezbollah actively supported the Syrian military occupation of Lebanon. A brutal occupation that lasted longer than the Israeli occupation. Hezbollah killed many Lebanese political figures including the most famous one, Rafik Hariri.
To defend Bachar El Assad, they slaughtered sunnis across Syria.
The judge investigating the Beirut Port Explosion ? He receive death threats from Hezbollah.
Let’s not white wash their bloody crimes.

Yes, like I said.

The band said on Monday “let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah.”
“We condemn all attacks on civilians, always,” the band said. -

A festival was held in Toronto about a month ago in support of Israel, wow crazy that Canada approved such a dangerous endorsement of violence and hate.
No problem with publicly supporting perpetrators of a genocide, right?

It’s really easy to reconcile that with the video. It’s called watching the atrocities that Israel commits, and getting angry enough that you say something you don’t entirely mean or haven’t entirely thought through.

This seems a foreign concept to many folks here and elsewhere online, but somehow I’ve managed to be horrified by Israel’s genocide and want to end it, without ever thinking “you know what, the literal terrorists on the other side are good actually, death to Israel and all Jews”.

I’m done with Carney man, this shit is so ass.

And Jello Biafra.

Yet you ignore how 65k Palestinians were murdered by the IDF. How pathetic to throw insults.
