Yes the massacre at a music festival was an atrocity but Glastonbury has crossed a line. The chants crossed no line. Unless the Glastonbury Festival is supporting the genocide of Palestinians. It is the IDF slaughtering the Palestinians and openly said they are firing on hungry Palestinians who have queued up for aid. in the above statement Glastonbury Festival is supporting genocide.
Defending an army that many organisations, from Oxfam to the UN, is calling genocide is disgusting Musicians at Glastonbury calling out Israel’s genocide isn’t a “Nazi rally” it’s a clear cry for justice. Conflating anti-genocide protest with antisemitism is dishonest and dangerous.
The real atrocity is happening in Gaza, not the actions on a stage calling for accountability. This weekend at least Glastonbury has become a gathering of thousands united by deep love for Palestinian light and deep hatred for Israeli darkness, a forever symbol of genocide, racism and mass murder.
Most of the politicians and journalists who will be outraged by political statements at Glastonbury are captured by the Israeli lobby. There is a genocide taking place and thank goodness we have artists prepared to say so.
You don’t have to like the way they articulate it but I, for one, understand the anger and frustration behind it. No one will ever make me believe that Israel, IDF and Zionists are the victims here. and nothing said at Glastonbury even touches the depraved and historic violence of the Israeli state, which is writing the next holocaust into the history books as we speak.
Glastonbury should not be the story, neither kneecap or anyone else should be the story. The only story should be Genocide. Nothing can normalize this. All of us have a duty to stop genocide. Shame on all humans who do nothing and allow the killing to continue! The lesson from Glastonbury is just because you try and stop people saying it's a genocide doesn't make them think it's not happening because quite clearly it is,
The message of Death to fascism, does not disturb me, but an army that is currently killing 10s of 1000s of people. does .The BBC refused to stream Kneecap live at Glastonbury because calling out the british government’s role in global violence is apparently off-limits. So Bob Vylan whatever one might think of him did it on their own livestream. You can censor the artist. But not the message.
Palestine Action. Kneecap or. Bob Vylan. We live in an upside-down world where the immoral army of a terror state committing genocide are the good guys, and those who oppose it are the bad guys. You don’t have to like the way they articulate it but I, for one, understand the anger and frustration behind it. No one will ever make me believe that Israel, IDF and Zionists are the victims here. and nothing said at Glastonbury even touches the depraved and historic violence of the Israeli state, which is writing the next holocaust into the history books as we speak.
Glastonbury should not be the story. neither kneecap or anyone else should be the story. The only story should be Genocide. Nothing can normalize this. All of us have a duty to stop genocide. Shame on all humans who do nothing and allow the killing to continue! An immoral army sniping children, starving children and their families with an endless stream of weapons has to be stopped, .
The lesson from Glastonbury is just because you try and stop people saying it's a genocide doesn't make them think it's not a genocide. It just makes them angrier and more radical .We are all Palestinians and we won't be silenced,. Free Palestine! From the river to the sea.
