The world could have stopped the genocide in Gaza.
Instead, governments — including our own — allowed Israel to act with total impunity.
Israel’s reckless strikes on Iran are the product of that impunity. They represent a shameful failure of global leadership. And they are a threat to the safety of humankind across the world.
Our government needs to wake up, end its complicity in Israeli war crimes and defend international law.
That is how we bring about urgent de-escalation, end the genocide and stop the world from being dragged into a catastrophic, nuclear war.
We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is enough to try and bring about a world of peace.
A tidal wave of darkness is coming.
Wales must prepare for the worst and fight with everything we have to protect our language, culture, democracy, history & communities.
If they succeed, Wales is finished. There will be no more Cymru.
That should terrify all of us.
KNEECAP STATEMENT:
They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.
Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.
Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.
We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.
This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.
All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.
At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.
Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.
This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.
To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.
Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.
No smear campaign will change that.
Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.
The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.
Shame on them.
