We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

“The group have amplified political violence and publicly displayed support for organizations designated as terrorist groups in Canada, such as Hezbollah and Hamas,” Gasparro said.

“These are not expressions of art or legitimate political critique, they are dangerous endorsements of violence and hate.”

The trio garnered controversy over their anti-Israel advocacy, which includes public support of banned terrorist groups and insistence that Israel’s self-defence against terrorism amounts to “genocide.”

Funny. Canada's supoort of genocide is a dangerous endorsement of violence and hate.

I love that these lads from my humble city of Belfast have caused such a storm on the global stage standing up against genocide. They're on the right side of history.

Have they banned Turning Point USA, too?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

No. I think they're going to build Charlie Kirk one of those big animatronic memorials.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This all ends in violence.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The violence has been ongoing for years. Decades.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 days ago

Well, depending how you mean it never stopped. States exist through their monopoly on violence.

Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, 27, faces terrorism charges after reportedly waving the flag of Lebanese terror group Hezbollah at a show in London last November.

A 2024 performance reportedly caught a group member cheering “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah.”

Well that was stupid.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Folks will panic at the sight of the wrong flag, while wearing the Union Jack on a breast pocket without an ounce of self-awareness

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

You’ll forgive the Irish in Northern Ireland for believing that some people won’t be treated as human beings without a bit of violence first.
