“We supported a proscribed terrorist organisation by mistake”
Insofar as preventing people showing support for terrorist organisations…yes?
It’s a bit bloody cheeky for them to claim they’re being prevented from criticising Israel. If they’d said ‘the israeli government are a shower of cunts conducting a genocidal campaign against the free people of Palestine’ there would be no charge to answer.
It is *that easy* to criticise Israel without having to support islamofascist organisations or delving into antisemetism.
Yeah it probably is, but I’m not about to defend the right to free speech and free association for someone who absolutely wouldn’t do the same for me.
‘But …. but … it doesn’t count when we are trying to be rebellious and edgy to appeal to teenagers. It is just performative terror group support!’
Uh, yes. Yes it is. Terrorism is rooted in politics. It’s the advancement of political beliefs through violence. Terrorists and their supporters need to be policed.
Bright spark this guy, ain’t he.
Also, r/punchablefaces
Everybody is going to say the thing that I agree with so I have decided to say something else.
Why is this guy looking at me like I just said something a bit nasty to his little brother and he wants to intimidate me into being scared of what he might do despite the fact that he really hopes I will just get the message and leave it alone?
I haven’t been following this too closely, but as someone old enough to remember kids being bombed, fuck their Troubles cosplay nonsense. Leave that shit in the past where it belongs.
This real life satirical comedy is getting out of hand
Is this the same Kneecap who urged people to murder their local member of parliament?
The Irish sub reddit was furious they were charged for waving a Hezbollah flag, when previously they would at least understood such things were not appropriate.
Ooo Billy big bollocks who want to be punky anti establishment then want to look at legal action against the decision?
Cake and eat it?
You supported a proscribed terror group, amongst other vulgar things including inciting violence and killings of political persons.
I hope we’ll see all those from the left, who advocated jail time for that woman who tweeted “inciting” violence during the soutport riots will equally condem these too?
If you want to play politics then you’re going to have politics played back with you
What’s the actual penalty for this likely to be if found guilty?
Is it community service or a few months in prison?
Can’t wait for all the lampposts in Belfast to be arrested.
Not one of their supporters seems to be able to explain why Kneecap should be treated differently under the law than any other British citizen.
Terrorism is political violence so you can always claim that anti-terrorism policing is political policing. Doesn’t make supporting terrorism any more acceptable and if you don’t think Hezbollah are terrorists I’d suggest asking some Syrians what horrors were committed against them by Hezbollah.
This guy will hopefully get 3 years at a minimum same as lucy connoly
As someone who is pro-Palestinian this shite infuriates me to no end. “Ooh let us be edgy and wave a flag of an Iranian geopolitical tool”. It was obviously gonna be used by the opposite side as evidence that any and all pro-Palestinians are actually all anti-semites and terrorist sympathisers.
No interest in understanding why Hezbollah is “controversial” (to say the fucking least). Speak to actual Lebanese people who’ve had their PM assassinated by them, who have obfuscated every investigation into the Beirut Port explosion (and who are widely believed to have kept the ammonium nitrate in the warehouses despite warnings) and who have held Lebanon and the Lebanese people to ransom for decades, all to further the aims of the Iranian state. As if they care about Palestinians.
Wanna show solidarity to Palestinians? They actually have their own flag you could’ve waved. Instead, these morons end up actively harming the cause by waving a flag of an Iranian proxy. But obviously researching these things requires an actual curiosity in the politics and history of the region, beyond just ‘ooh let us be edgy and stick it to the establishment’. Silly twats.
Israel are committing a genocide with the UK governments help, and we’re getting hot and bothered about what a punk band are doing.
He’s a suggestion. Don’t be moronic, and make better choices!! It’s blatantly obvious that supporting a terrorist organisation is a bad idea.
Where is the outrage when UVF and UDA flags are openly flown in Glasgow on Old Firm days? They get police protection. Why’s it only when it’s a pro Palestine group they get charged?
This ugly little island has had its hand in bombing Middle Eastern children for decades and yet waiving a Union Jack isn’t a terror offence.
This is nothing but a smear campaign from the terrorist state of Israel and because the English are so stupid, it’s working.
It’s funny they mention about it not going to Crown Court. But don’t nearly all cases go to the Magistrates Court first before going to Crown Court?
You can’t hold up a Hezbollah flag then cry when you’re arrested. Pathetic.
Get real! You knew what you were doing and you knew the consequences at the time. Stop trying to get publicity for your rubbish band
