    “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.

    A festival was held in Toronto about a month ago in support of Israel, wow crazy that Canada approved such a dangerous endorsement of violence and hate.
    No problem with publicly supporting perpetrators of a genocide, right?

      Hezbollah supported the Syrian military occupation of Lebanon. An occupation that lasted longer than the Israeli occupation. Hezbollah also killed many Lebanese politicians including the most famous, Rafik Hariri.

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

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

      Let’s not white wash their crimes.

    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.

      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.

                I find it hard to reconcile that with the video, but if they are willing to publicly apologize for it then they should be allowed into Canada.

                  It’s really easy to reconcile that with the video. It’s called watching the atrocities that Israel commits, and getting angry enough that you say something you don’t entirely mean or haven’t entirely thought through.
