The only ones willing to stand up. Real artists doing what artists should do. I’ve been listening to both these bands. I’d love to see a show in Canada.
Death to the IDF.
Edit: also to.let you know. Same day news…

Calls for Canada to bar bands Kneecap, Bob Vylan over anti-Israel messages test limits of free expression | CBC News
A prominent Jewish and Israeli advocacy organization and some Canadian politicians are calling for the Irish rap group Kneecap and the British punk rap duo Bob Vylan to be barred from performing in Canada over comments about the war in Gaza.
CBC (www.cbc.ca)
Anti war speech has to be free speech. Declaring Israel the most moral army in the world, with ambitions for most humanitarian concentration camp in the world as absolute immutable truth is not just fascism in of itself, it is genocidal hasbara given evidence of opposite.
Fascist media and political party unity on war, and which side of wars to support also affects online community moderation, some of which is paid by master empire to impose the fascist unity message.
Ukrainian or Zionist diaspora imposing fascist limitations on speech, because they are politically valuable single issue diasporas, simply invalidates democracy and freedom. Instead of submitting to what is primarily US empire driven censorship and oppression, it would be reasonable to criminalize/censor support for an empire’s war/unjustifiable extortion against us, much less rethinking our programming for their propaganda.

… For those fighting over there. Are you active military Mr armchair warrior? I’d like to see them all prosecuted and thrown into prison for the rest of their lives. Better, they should atone by rebuilding Gaza.
Calling for anybody’s death and calling that Okay is how we got here in the first place.
Signed dumb people.
But what if sending them to the Hague wasn’t an option (and it’s usually not)? Wouldn’t it be better for them to die? Suggesting that isn’t the problem with the world. It definitely isn’t so exceptional that it should be cut out of the usual protections on freedom of expression.
I didn’t say I personally am going to kill IDF soldiers, did I? If I had, that would either be true or I’d be an internet tough guy, but I didn’t.

On the other hand, it’s perfectly valid to not want to knife either combatant in a knife fight, but just get them to stop endangering themselves and everyone around them. You know, without chanting “death to knife fighter A!”
Fuck all the way off.

I’m sure you’d have the same feelings if someone just took over your house and regularlly killed your family members. Right?

What? What is the IDF doing other than oppressing Palestinians? That’s literally their whole thing. Israel has sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Gaza whose whole purpose is to kill and displace Palestinians, not to mention their operations and enforcement of Apartheid in the West Bank. There is no way to be an innocent IDF soldier., because everything they do is evil.
I would highly recommend you look up what “Conscription” is, and the consequences of avoiding service.
Well there’s nothing can Palestinians can do to stop Israel except violence.
One can clearly see that violence is not benefiting Palestinians, Israelis, Iranians, Lebanese, Syrians, or any other people involved in this.

I know what conscription is, but I also know what genocide is. Wehrmacht soldiers were conscripted; would you have discouraged violence against them too?

Tell that to Israel. When Israel is intent on using violence to murder and displace Palestinians, what do you want them to do?

I have stated my point of view very clearly. If you are confused about my point of view I invite you to ask good faith questions, or refresh yourself by reading what I said again.

You stated what you don’t want people to do, but you haven’t said anything about what Palestinians should do instead. Surely your answer isn’t “nothing,” is it?
-
Nope; I’m saying calling for the death of those causing the genocide isn’t going to bring peace.
We still have the right to say it. Why does it bother you?
-
Not much of a student of history, are we?
I do believe that where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence… I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour - Ghandi

Chanting for the death of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). Waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert. Cheering for Hamas. Calling on fans in the U.K. to “kill your local MP.”
Then, video re-emerged from a 2023 concert, in London, England, when one member said, “The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.” The band apologized amid concert cancellations in Europe.
Another video appeared to show one of the band members shouting “up Hezbollah, up Hamas” at a 2024 concert in London while wearing a Hezbollah flag over his head. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are designated terror groups in Britain, as well in Canada.
Do you want to see how easy it is to be against Israels actions, support Palestinian freedom, and not support Terrorists while inciting violence?
The Likud party of Israel are war criminals. The soldiers in the IDF following Likuds orders are war criminals. Every Israelite attacking Palestinians is a war criminal. Every Israelite in support of this is supporting a genocide.
Every single one of them should be brought to swift justice. But it isn’t everyone in Israel or the IDF, just like every Palestinian isn’t Hamas.

Israel was always a terrorist state that was created by terrorists (The Haganah, the irgun, the lehi) based on an supremacist ideology saying any jews has eternal right to the land just become jews has a continuous presence in the area and that Palestinians are just arab invaders which is not true. Israel ideology never changed, every single goddamn prime minister of them are war criminals that oppressed, raped and killed Palestinians for 77 years .
Every single one of them should be brought to swift justice.
You know very well that bringing Israeli war criminals will never be put in jail. You know very well that occupation never ended with only with diplomacy, armed resistance was always part of the fight for justice.
IDF soldiers only dies in Gaza and the west bank where Palestinians has right to self defense. One idf soldiers dying in the genocidal war is “10” Palestinians saved. Who are you to tell people how to express Palestinians right to armed resistances

Jail vs being a war criminal that killed ton of Palestinians and that may end up with ptsd and committed suicide.
The best choice is so clear
Suicide rate in Israeli army hits 13-year high amid ongoing war
The Israeli army has reported a sharp increase in the number of suicides since the start of the war in Gaza, adding that thousands of soldiers have stopped serving in combat roles due to mental distress.…

Would you say the same thing about Ukrainians defending their lands?
-
Because it’s history repeating itself. Again.
Yes history always repeating itself. A group/tribe/country occupy another other , oppress them for decade than the occupied start retaliating sometimes with legitimate attacks sometimes with terrorism. And people start calling out the occupier and support vocally the right of the oppressed to self defense and there is other with naive views like you keep talking about how you wish the oppressor why opposing the oppressed right to self defense given by international law and people who vocally support it
Someone like you who say i wish Israelis get held accountable and go to jail is like someone wishing to get a job but do no real effort to have one

Have good faith conversation and answer legitimate questions unless you want to look like an hypocrite Your choice

Yes. One can clearly see that violence is not benefiting Ukrainians, Russians, North Koreans, or any other group involved in direct conflict.

Hamas is not a resistance group.

Hamas is not a resistance group.
Resistance and terrorism can overlap. If you fight an occupation force then you are doing resistance simple as that
