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 ❤️
Finished in last place in my Dynasty Fantasy Football league.
This year, the league voted that the last place punishment would be Bowling a Perfect Game.
Rules: You can’t leave until you bowl a 300. BUT, every beer / hot dog consumed knocks off 10 pins.
Thing is, I’m not a great bowler. I am, however, quite good at slamming beers.
Stay tuned to witness history.
The BBC finally acknowledges it misled viewers when it used a video showing fans from Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv attacking people on the street, whilst implying Israeli fans were the victims in the video
