When Coachella became a stage for terror support
"The festival's organizers, Goldenvoice and AEG, have deeply harmed the Jewish community and should publicly apologize for their indiscretion. At a time when Jewish communities around the world are still reeling from the trauma of October 7, the decision to give a platform to a band that glorifies terror is not just tone-deaf – it is morally indefensible."
"Israelis and Jews around the world will forever be haunted by what happened at the Nova Music Festival on October 7, when Hamas infiltrated Israel, rampaged through the festival, massacred over 360 concertgoers, and brutally took another 44 hostages. So many innocent, peaceful music lovers had their lives stolen, and the survivors will never be the same.
"To then weaponize a music festival to display hateful imagery or symbolism targeting the Jewish state, especially at an event like Coachella, which is supposed to be about peace and unity, is deeply disturbing.
"During their debut at Coachella in Los Angeles, the anti-Israel Irish band KNEECAP used their stage to project hateful, anti-Israel propaganda. They flashed the words "F**k Israel, Free Palestine" across the screen and led chants of "Free Palestine" before thousands of cheering concertgoers. The propaganda continued with false accusations of genocide and war crimes, the same lies routinely spread by those who support terrorism against Israel.
"This should come as no surprise from KNEECAP, who have a well-documented history of supporting terror groups like Hezbollah during their shows. Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy, has been a US-designated foreign terrorist organization since 1997 and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans. On February 23, 2025, KNEECAP posted a photo of one of its members reading "Voice of Hezbollah: The Statements of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah." Nasrallah was Hezbollah's longtime group leader and was killed by an Israeli airstrike in September 2024. Expressing support for him is equivalent to supporting Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11 terror attacks. In November 2024, KNEECAP waved a Hezbollah flag onstage during a concert in London. The band also expressed support for Hamas on October 7, even as Israel was still counting the bodies of its dead, and again on the one-year anniversary of the massacre." . . .
350 young people were murdered by the palestinian terrorists at the Nova Music Festival on Oct7th, in Israel.

You would have expected a solidarity from musicians, bands, producers, other Music Festivals….
Instead, you get a Coachella siding with those who raped and killed.. pic.twitter.com/LFnQB157An
"When people tell you that they side with literal rapists, baby killers and torturers, believe them."
Kneecap: Sharon Osbourne calls for US visas to be revoked after Coachella
Kneecapping - Wikipedia: . . ."During the Troubles in Northern Ireland, paramilitaries considered themselves to be law enforcers in their own areas. They used limb shootings to 'punish' alleged drug pushers and child molesters. If the crime was considered to be grave, the victim was also shot in the ankles and elbows, leaving them with six gunshot wounds (colloquially known as a six pack).[5] Approximately 2,500 people were victims of these paramilitary attacks, known as 'punishment shootings' at the time, through the duration of the conflict. Those who were attacked often faced social stigma.[6]
"The Red Brigades, an Italian militant organization, employed limb shootings (gambizzazioni) to warn their opponents. They used the method to punish at least 75 people up to December 1978.[7][8]
"The Bangladesh Police have started kneecapping in the country since 2009 to punish the opposition and prevent them from participating in protests against the government. Human Rights Watch (HRW) has published a report on kneecapping in Bangladesh.[9]" . . . This Wikipedia article also accuses the Israelis of kneecapping Hamas members, but the nature of this site makes the accusation suspect as none of the anti-Israel press has made this claim. Not even MSNBC. TD
