The BBC are complicit in genocide by censoring the news in favour of Israel.

Israel is a murder machine.

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 genociding Palestinians.

Fuck the IDF

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.

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.

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.

I still think it's basically brainwshing by government propaganda.

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.

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.

Counterpoint: The IDF isn't a terrorist organization; they're the Wehrmacht.

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol they basically did that before. They booked Rage Against The Machine to play "Killing in the Name of" live. It has the line "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and they asked RATM to censor it while they played. The BBC was then somehow surprised when RATM didn't do what they told them. source

i'm going to imagine him staring the BBC producer(s) dead in the eye as he sings it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Thing is, afaik, the BBC has nothing to do with booking the artists. They just broadcast the sets and hold them on the iPlayer for a month after. Kneecap (and Bob Vylan) were booked by the Glastonbury organisers.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Someone uploaded it to WeTransfer if you've not found it elsewhere yet.

It's a great set. Big Bob spitting facts from top to bottom.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

BBC nuked the footage after they got the call.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Those abs need a marble statue, not a shirt

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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