Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury has sparked condemnation, but UK guilt for complicity in genocide is driving this hysteria about punk bands

It's anti Israel, being a force of Israel. The big trick is Israel conflating all criticism with bigotry.

You know what's really damaging? Genocide. Crimea against humanity.

That typo adds a certain je ne sais quoi to your comment, bravo.

Isn’t IDF itself antisemitism? I mean with shit like Hannibal Directive

Pretty much. Zionism as a whole is literally antisemitic.

I'm glad I got to learn who Bob vylan is from all this. I'm now a fan

This whole situation has been a textbook example of the Streisand Effect lmao

Literally never heard of them before. Bought 3 digital albums and a vinyl copy of their latest one just this week.

Didn't care much for the music although I like the message. I heard about Kneecap on BBC when Mo Chara was in jail, and I love this group. I'm not sure what they did after Bob Vylan played but there is an attempt to get their performance scrubbed from the internet.

Counterpoint: The very IDEA that harm could be done to ANY Klezmer Brahmin is a greater crime than the starvation of ALL children of the lesser castes, so... checkmate, antisemites!
