“The band took a picture with the Palestinian flag and danced with it during one of their shows. Where was their condemnation then?”

So KNEECAP the anti-semitic Irish hip hop band have now proven that they are also craven cowards – who fold like a cheap Balaclava – under the slightest bit of pressure.

Who knew that all it took for these “revolutionaries” to renounce their beliefs was some American visa issues, a few cancellations and the interest of “oppressor” British police force.

So, now we just don’t know if they really do support Hamas, Hezbollah, and the murder of British Members of Parliament, or is it all just a massive “out of context” misunderstanding?

It certainly had seemed that way.

But then the cancellations started. They lost their US management company, which meant they lost their visas for the US tour, and then the British police announced they were investigating the band for their apparent support of these terrorist organizations and for calling for the murder of MPs.

Initially, the band was unrepentant: “Since our statements at Coachella—exposing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people—we have faced a coordinated smear campaign.”

Then the backlash really hit, and the fake Irish revolutionaries collapsed quicker than a Gaza building in an Israeli airstrike.

“Let us be unequivocal,” they said, “…we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always…. It is never okay.”
