Sharon Osbourne has urged US authorities to revoke work visas for Kneecap after the Irish language rap group used a performance at Coachella to denounce Israeli attacks on Gaza.

The TV presenter accused the band of hate speech and supporting terrorist organisations and said it should not be allowed to perform in the US. “I urge you to join me in advocating for the revocation of Kneecap’s work visa,” she exhorted followers on X on Tuesday.

Pretty ironic considering how many people went after Ozzy and Black Sabbath for their speech.

I hate the intellectually lazy conflation that happens far too often where support for Palestine or criticism of Israel is warped into support for Hamas and Hezbollah.
