Kneecap si scusa con la famiglia del parlamentare di Tory assassinato e dice che non supporta Hamas o Hezbollah

“Hey families of murdered MPs, we’re sorry we advocated for murdering MPs”

Full statement from twitter

“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.”

I’m just here to find out if all the posters who’ve been saying Hamas and Hezbollah are a great bunch of lads and you have to support them to support Palestinian liberation are gonna be condemning Kneecap as a bunch of Israel-loving centrist dads now. 

Or if everybody’s going to realise they were making a bit of a show of themselves and just slink away. 

In all seriousness while this probably has been good for Kneecap’s reputation on net, it’s genuinely terrible for the Palestinian cause to have days of “Hamas=Palestine” discourse FROM THE LEFT. Just doing Hasbara’s bidding there guys!

Kneecap kneecapped.

Their whole edgy teenager vibe ended.

Kneecap haters- ‘Apologise.’

Kneecap – ‘Okay.’

Kneecap haters – ‘Not good enough.’

Hahahahaha

The article says one of the group’s members indeed said “up Hamas, up Hezbollah” and that constitutes a crime in the UK as promoting a terrorist group is illegal in there, so I think he will face prosecution according to the British law.
