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 ❤️

When bereaved by suicide every month is hard but I find May one of the worst. Sunrise walks are a lovely idea but if you do them, please take some time to reflect on your words and actions towards yourself and other people. Dont just do it for a few likes on social media
