    “Kneecap represents not only a threat to the Jewish community, but their incitement, their glorification of terror, represent a threat to all Canadian values and to all Canadians,” Robertson said

    Not my values you fascist shit bag.

    This Gasparro dude used to be a board member of Postmedia.

    In July, a group of First Nations leaders called on the federal government to close the borders to the rappers, insisting that allowing them to perform violates the “spirit and obligations” of treaties between FN and the government.

    This is also interesting.

    But in general, we don’t have very strong free speech protections so I wouldn’t be surprised if they remain barred.

    Who are we to judge people how they resist their occupier. Canada certainly is not in a historical posture to pitch in on how to resist genocide.

      Hezbollah actively supported the Syrian military occupation of Lebanon. A brutal occupation that lasted longer than the Israeli occupation. Hezbollah killed many Lebanese political figures including the most famous one, Rafik Hariri.

      To defend Bachar El Assad, they slaughtered sunnis across Syria.

      The judge investigating the Beirut Port Explosion ? He receive death threats from Hezbollah.

      Let’s not white wash their bloody crimes.

        No one’s defending any of that, we shouldn’t be involved in the politics of countries on other continents period, whether it’s funding Israel’s genocide or arming ISIS-affiliated Syrian rebels.

          We shouldn’t be involved? They are involved in Canadian politics. Israel also buys weapons from us. Its global world. You don’t get to pick and choose being involved or not.

    That’s fair, since they’re on the record as endorsing groups that are recognized by the Canadian government as terrorist entities:

    A 2024 performance reportedly caught a group member cheering “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah.”

      To be even more fair; you’re directly quoting misinformation released by the Canadian government in support of Israel and their mass murder of Palestinian people (aka, genocide). This misinformation is a result of “Jewish” groups, which recently have shown themselves as basically being lapdogs for the Israeli state.

      Kneecap aren’t anti-semetic, they are anti-Israel and as much as Israeli fascists want it to be; being against the Israeli state is not the the same as being against Jews.

        I’m not sure what you mean by that comment - are you saying Hamas and Hezbollah are OK? I wouldn’t welcome a band that praises the IDF, and this is no different.

                How, they equated Hezbollah to the IDF. Regardless of any arguments about equivalence or lack thereof, I don’t think a zionist would ever do that.

                  Some people here think everything is a Marvel movie with one perfectly good side and one perfectly bad one. Any deviation from that and they slap you with the “bad guy” label. Only a complete moron would read my post and interpret it as meaning I’m a zionist.

      I don’t think you can take a single live artististic performance as “being on the record for endorsing” anything.

      Eminem wasn’t endorsing everything in his lyrics.
