Anyone got a video of the rest of this set? Searching for it just brings up page after page of genocide apologists getting upset over the warmup.

BBC nuked the footage after they got the call.

Maybe it’s because half their raps are in Gaeilge or the BBC just didn’t check, but booking Kneecap and not expecting to hear something about governments and Palestine would be like booking NWA and cutting their mics if they played Fuck the Police.

Great job riling up the crowd for Vylan’s new chant there, genius move.

The BBC isn't booking anyone they're just covering Glastonbury festival.

Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

Irish too. The band they cut short just before this has songs that are quite catchy and the theme is ACAB

I get knocked down... I get up again

[–] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 8 points 15 hours ago

I can agree with that message

The IDF is a terrorist organization. Prove me wrong.

You know, at one point during this war, I thought, “they’re compelled to service, most of them probably don’t wanna be there, and we can’t hold them responsible for the orders of the state.”

Then I saw some interviews with some IDF soldiers. Then I saw more interviews. And it’s the same in recent interviews: they are happy to be there, and they absolutely love genocide Palestinians.

Fuck the IDF

Even for the ones compelled to be there who have little (not no) choice, it doesn't mean the IDF isn't a terrorist organization. Other terrorist groups use force to get soldiers, yet we don't pull our punches calling them out.

[–] Doorbook@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

There are older documentaries where older IDF recount war crimes and being proud of it.. this been going since the creation of this project .. the two main forces that created the IDF are UK Registered terrorist organization.

[–] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

If I was a news agency with an agenda I wouldn’t be broadcasting the interviews that are negative either. Those you will find on foreign TV channels, 10-20 years from now after those who are currently serving finish their mandatory service and immigrate elsewhere. Every once in a while some event happens which becomes difficult to cover up. Like the Pilot Letters from 2003 and 2023, but it is the exception rather then the norm.

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 19 points 21 hours ago

Even if it were the case that they didn't want to be there, "just following orders" is not an acceptable excuse for committing a genocide. The morally correct thing to do if you're compelled to service in the IDF is to refuse and face the consequences, because they cannot be worse than the moral injury of being tasked with the murder of innocent children.

They aren't going to let you see the unenthusiastic ones.

They don’t censor foreign internet in Israel. Protesters of the regime can be heard from on the outside, there just aren’t that many of them.

I'll go check his songs now, just from that chant I can tell he has a way with music

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 16 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

If you missed the 2000s anti war punk bands they deliver with a 2025 vibe.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

The band they cut off also has great music and are all about giving the middle finger to the man

Are you going to tell those abs they need a shirt?

"You cannot confine me!!: - his abs
