Irish rappers Kneecap barred from entering Canada: 'Dangerous endorsements of violence and hate'
Kneecap were to perform in Toronto and Vancouver next month
We banned Eminem at his peak, we're dumb as fuckin rocks on these subjects.
NWA and Beastie Boys too.
The Barenaked Ladies were banned FFS 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦🏽
Lmaooo
And Jello Biafra.
“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.
Remember that american christian MAGA singer two months ago? 🤪
1:1 eh? I guess. 😄
did you see that bozo barred from entering Canada? or even from performing? naah..
You mean the MAGA singer who had a sold out show in Toronto.
Didn’t we just let a super felon rapist in like a month ago?
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?

Who are we to judge people how they resist their occupier. Canada certainly is not in a historical posture to pitch in on how to resist genocide.

Hezbollah actively supported the Syrian military occupation of Lebanon. A brutal occupation that lasted longer than the Israeli occupation. Hezbollah killed many Lebanese political figures including the most famous one, Rafik Hariri.
To defend Bachar El Assad, they slaughtered sunnis across Syria.
The judge investigating the Beirut Port Explosion ? He receive death threats from Hezbollah.
Let's not white wash their bloody crimes.
Fucking bullshit. Turn up your music so everyone can hear.
These guys and Gary Yourofsky have been banned from Canada. WTF!?
I'm done with Carney man, this shit is so ass.
Shameful
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.
This!!
Is this video misinformation? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ie5qs
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.
