Kneecap’s Anti-Israel Message At Coachella Condemned As “Cry For Hate” By Simon Wiesenthal Center
One of America's leading Jewish human rights groups has condemned the Irish hip-hop band Kneecap's anti-Israel messages at Coachella this weekend
Three days after the confrontational Irish hip-hop trio took to the one of the high-profile festival’s stages in front of thousands and lambasted the Benjamin Netanyahu-led state over the war in Gaza, the Simon Wiesenthal Center has joined the chorus of denunciation over Kneecap’s actions. Giving the band a history lesson, Berk invited Kneecap and Coachella organizers to come to the Wiesenthal Center’s Roxbury Drive offices to discuss the toxic consequences of such attacks on Israel and the antisemitism it can breed. The subject of a Michael Fassbender co-starring Sundance debuting and British Independent Film Awards winning biopic 2024 drama, Kneecap have explicitly criticized Israel and PM Netanyahu’s response to the murderous rampage of Hamas many times over the past two years.
