Really not my cup of tea but good on them for using their platform to raise awareness of Palestine.
This has me wondering though, why I see very little directed calling out Benjamin Netanyahu he’s the one leading the genocide but lots of calling out Biden? I understand the enabling the USA is doing but the volume of anti US rhetoric seems to eclipse criticism of Israel at some points. Is it because of the existing anti-US position of those on the left who are the most predisposed to supporting Palestine? If anyone who is knowledgeable on the matter could enlighten me that would be appreciated
EDIT: Thanks for the replies. They’ve cleared some things up and given me more to think about.
Fair play to them for raising awareness but when you go into the detail of it, don’t some Irish companies produce components for drones and certain weapons? Or am I thinking of something else
What does Ja Rule think?
Super, fair play to em
Imagine taking any of them lads seriously hahahah

Móglaí bap has such a huge mouth. It frightens me. It’s a bit Attack on Titan if I’m honest.
Good man. It needs to be said. If all we can do is make sure the people who did it, won’t get away with denying their crimes
Like I said in r/NorthernIreland- As long as they have that same Ire for the red white & blue flags going after the blue & yellow that they do for the ones going after green white & orange. Putin is no friend of Ireland.
Where can one get information on figures? I thought they were provided by Hamas, which we all understand are not the most reliable source of info.
Ah yes blame America in the first instance
Also it’s largest financial donator, weirdly.
The fact RTE had to release a statement just shows where their loyalty is.
Did they get fact checked ?
If he had a Ukrainian jersey on would they have to do the same song and dance about both sides?

Kneecap are a national embarrassment. The fact they got on the show is a joke. Imagine wearing that balaclava in a tri color and calling yourself DJ Provo. What are RTE thinking letting these wankers on? They were trying to get money from the Brits the other week and over in America promoting themselves at Sundance. The hypocrisy of these fools.
On the topic of global appeal. I was in a bar in northern Italy last year not really paying attention to the background music.
(Also should say I haven’t listened to a lot of kneecap.)
But I recognised the words “tiocfaidh ár lá” and my ears perked up.
Shazammed the song and sure enough it was them.
This wasn’t an Irish bar either. A very trendy beer bar in a “we don’t speak English either” part of Italy.
They’re getting out there and fair play to them!
Followed this conflict on and off for decades. What’s happening now is unprecedented and horrendous, however it’s confusing why people keep quoting that 30,000 figure. Many Palestinians have died, but that is a number which has been created by Hamas. These are the same officials who claimed 500 died when Israel struck a hospital, turns out it was a Hamas missile that backfired and nowhere near that number of people died.
They are really cool for doing this and continuing to speak out on the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Loved how nervous the host got and quickly tried to change the subject.
Why is he talking to them like they are from space?
