Hard to believe. Bono has had more than a year to do or say the right thing and he has decided not to. But to then accept an award from a foreign government hell bent on genocide is appalling. Absolutely disgusted.
Hard to believe Irish people would spend hard-earned cash to see a band whose lead singer signed missiles used to bomb a colonised people trapped in #Gaza
David Draiman's band @Disturbed are booked to play Dublin in October as part of a European tour.

https://t.co/26A5cB2XNh Stop Disturbed concert in Dublin 22nd October with @mcd_productions - David Draiman signed IDF missiles & stood with the Israeli genocidal oppressors @ipsc48 Sign the petition by @Change we won’t forgive that behaviour #Genocide#Oppression#GazaCallsUs
The Zionist lead singer of Disturbed signs a missile in Israel before it is used to slaughter entire families in Gaza. They play Dublin in October. If you must see them maybe bring eggs and a flag 🇵🇸
If there was someone shot in the head tonight in Cork City and my signature was found on the bullet, would you give me a gig @mcd_productions ????
Ye will forever be a disgrace to this country if ye go ahead with this David Drainman gig next Wednesday in Dublin.
To paraphrase slightly the Irish hunger-striker Terence MacSwiney:
It is not those who can inflict the most but those who can endure the most who will prevail.

Just a reminder that 17 Irish citizens are being held hostage illegally right now by a rogue state that's murdered tens of thousands of children in the last 2 years
Sexual assault of prisoners there is widely seen as legitimate
Support for Rovers fan Chris Andrews.
Shamrock Rovers Football Club has learned that Rovers supporter Chris Andrews has been detained while taking part in a humanitarian mission, delivering food and aid to Gaza.
Chris has previously worked alongside the club in supporting the Gaza Kids to Tallaght initiative, which brought young footballers from Gaza to Ireland in 2017 and 2018. During those visits, Shamrock Rovers welcomed the children to Tallaght Stadium, where they were treated as guests, meeting players and fans, and received Rovers attire as a gesture of welcome and support.
We call for his safe return.
Surprised to this level of anti Irish racism in Canada. Admittedly it’s tied up in “bought and paid for” zionism but let’s call it what it is. No self respecting Irish Canadian should ever vote for the genocide defender.
On behalf of the Government of Canada I am announcing that on the advice of our officials, we have deemed the group Kneecap ineligible to enter our country.
Our government will not tolerate the advocating of political violence, terrorism or Anti-Semitism and hate more broadly.
