The bilateral band finished its group on the second weekend of the Cochsla Music Festival in California, with three messages on a screen that accused Israel of genocide and military crimes against the Palestinians.
They read: “Israel commits genocide against the Palestinian people”, “it is enabled by the American government that arms and finances Israel despite their war crimes” and “F ** K Israel. Free Palestine.”

The Irish rapper was published to X and pointed to “hundreds of violent Zionist threats.”
In an interview with RTé Radio, musicians director Daniel Lambert confirmed that the band had received death treatments, and that the nature of the threats would be “very severe” on the outlines on the air.
“I think, for the massive credit of the band, there are three young men working here who built a profession for themselves on the basis of Irish, music, culture and identity,” Lambert said.
“They have courage and condemnation-especially in view of the place they came from in a post-conflict society-to defend what is right, and they are ready to do this even though it may harm their career, despite the fact that it may harm their income, and it must be praised.
“It is a very strong position for young people to take it, especially young people from the background of the working class.”
When asked if they were at risk of forming everyone in Israel with the same brush, Mr. Lambert said: “Certainly not.
“I think when it refers to” Israel “in the correspondence, as we did, you refer to the Israeli government.”

Mr. Lambert said that the proposal that the message of rapper in Kochilla was offensive was “buying to the moral hysteria” and said that the real issue was tens of thousands of people who were killed by the Israeli forces in Gaza.
“If someone gets the truth, this is something they suffer. But it is really important to talk about the truth, and fortunately, the boys are not afraid to do so.”
He added: “The beautiful reaction was hundreds of American young people who came to us in Kochilla, to the boys, to say that they said something that was not said in America and that these children believe in it.
“We were told by young girls, young boys, and people in the twenties and thirties of the age, and so, many people came to say thank you for saying what is right, what is fair, and something unfortunately is not said enough.”
Mr. Lambert asked why an Euro-MED statement was targeted on Friday, when he stated that the Israeli forces intentionally targeted 37 relief distribution centers and 28 food banks “starving civilians” did not focus on “instead of the opinions of individuals who felt harm through real information.”
In response to a question about the band’s criticism, including the alleged promotion of Hamas and Hezbollah, Mr. Lambert said: “Once again, we had the Israeli government minister publicly talking about the hunger of the population, cutting food, and cutting water. These are the issues that we must discuss.”
Meanwhile, footage of Irish rapper who performs at London’s place is evaluated by the anti -terrorist police.
It seems that the Clips was published by Danny Morris, starting from the Jewish Security Corporation, Trust Community Trust, shows one member of the group screaming “UP Hamas, and Hezbollah previously” in a presentation at the Kenich City Forum, and Hezbollah flag.
Hamas and Hezbollah in the United Kingdom are banned, and from the crime of expressing support for them.

“We have been informed of the video and referred to the terrorist referral unit for evaluation and determine whether any other police investigation may be required,” said a Met Police spokesman.
KneeCAP has already been criticized for their performance at Coachella on April 18, where Sharon Osborne called for the cancellation of work visas in the United States.
They ended their group on the second weekend of Coachella with three messages on a screen saying: “Israel commits genocide against the Palestinian people”, “it is enabled by the American government that arms and financing Israel despite their war crimes” and “*** Israel. Palestine is free.”
