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 ❤️
Thanks to @joeliveline and @rteliveline for having Peter on the show again this year. A series of books telling the stories of true historical murders around Cork. More info about that and other self published books featured on the show at https://t.co/zTH8gYflmv
@griffski We got counted out, but then they changed the rules and wouldn't allow it to happen anymore. I often say I am going to frame our letter confirming our outness.
TW: Rape
There’s a tweet I just saw about sex education. A father had been raping his daughter and she didn’t realize it was wrong until they taught her about it in her sex education class.
Then there are adults busy fighting for there to be no sex education in schools.
