Irish rap group Kneecap condemns Israel’s war on Gaza at Paris show

Irish rap trio Kneecap condemned Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza during a performance at France’s Rock en Seine festival. The group opened their set with chants of “Free, free Palestine!” and denounced what they described as famine and genocide. This pro-Palestinian stance has led to political repercussions, including French officials withdrawing subsidies from the festival and Hungary banning the group from entering the country for another event. Despite pressure from officials and pro-Israel lobby groups, the concert in Paris proceeded without incident.
