Malicious Compliance

You know, at one point during this war, I thought, “they’re compelled to service, most of them probably don’t wanna be there, and we can’t hold them responsible for the orders of the state.”

Then I saw some interviews with some IDF soldiers. Then I saw more interviews. And it’s the same in recent interviews: they are happy to be there, and they absolutely love genociding Palestinians.

Fuck the IDF

Counterpoint: The IDF isn't a terrorist organization; they're the Wehrmacht.

Thing is, afaik, the BBC has nothing to do with booking the artists. They just broadcast the sets and hold them on the iPlayer for a month after. Kneecap (and Bob Vylan) were booked by the Glastonbury organisers.

Lol they basically did that before. They booked Rage Against The Machine to play "Killing in the Name of" live. It has the line "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and they asked RATM to censor it while they played. The BBC was then somehow surprised when RATM didn't do what they told them. source

The BBC isn't booking anyone they're just covering Glastonbury festival.

Someone uploaded it to WeTransfer if you've not found it elsewhere yet.

It's a great set. Big Bob spitting facts from top to bottom.

BBC nuked the footage after they got the call.

You have it backwards. The IDF are carrying out a genocide. So an analogy to the WWII-era would be like if Cab Calloway chanted 'Death, Death to the Nazi SS' , and then you're comment (on our fictional 1940's internet forum) would say "Cmon guys, this seems problematic because it can easily expand to target all German people".

He didn't call for the death of Israel.

The IDF is a military force actively engaged in ethnic cleansing and genocide. Israel itself is a colonist state that only exists thanks to constant violence threatened and perpetrated by its military and the US. It is not in any way antisemitic to criticize these entities up to and including advocating for their dissolution. Anyone who takes this valid criticism and turns it into "Jews Bad" is either incapable of understanding the complexity of the issues here, is a bad faith actual anti-Semite looking for an excuse, or has fallen for the ubiquitous state propaganda that has been conditioning this exact response.

States and militaries are not culture. Nationalism is not identity. Fascism must be dismantled whatever form it takes.

No, the actually antisemitic claim is that Israel and the IDF are representative of Judaism and/or Jewish people. They are fascist organizations and the conflation of these groups with Jewish people at large (a narrative pushed by Israel and their allies) is what endangers them

so if I say "death to Nazi's" by your logic, you'd have issues with that. Saying "Death to Nazi's" could easily expand target to all Germans, All white people, or hell at this point All Americans.

see how flawed your logic is?

🤡

They are just calling for the death of the SS and SA not ~~Germans~~ Israeli or Jews in general. Sorry thought this was 1933.

No, you're not. This is generally classified as antisemitic. But for a multitude of reasons people don't care or even see it as a good thing. Reasons including:

• Decades of being told that there's always a good side in war (there rarely is, I can only think of ukraine in this century and WW2 in - the last century),
• being propagandized into warthirsty "patriots",
• being radicalized during covid,
• getting radicalized by (a)social media

you get the idea

Or shirts apparently

Irish too. The band they cut short just before this has songs that are quite catchy and the theme is ACAB

If you missed the 2000s anti war punk bands they deliver with a 2025 vibe.
