Ever since they spoke out against Israel’s campaign of genocide in Palestine during their Coachella performance, the Belfast rap group Kneecap have faced a lot of serious bullshit, to the point where Kneecap member Mo Chara is currently facing terrorism charges in the UK. Soon after that performance, Sharon Osbourne called for Kneecap’s US visas to be revoked, and Disturbed singer David Draiman, a virulent Zionist, thanked Osbourne for that statement. On Instagram, Draiman wrote, “Their actions included projections of anti-Israel messages and hate speech, and this band openly support terrorist organizations. This behavior raises concerns about the appropriateness of their participation in such a festival and further shows they are booked to play in the USA.”
