The IDF is a terrorist organization. Prove me wrong.

I still think it's basically brainwshing by government propaganda.

[-] paultimate14@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

They aren't going to let you see the unenthusiastic ones.

They don’t censor foreign internet in Israel. Protesters of the regime can be heard from on the outside, there just aren’t that many of them.

[-] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

If you’re forced to live in Israel you won’t be publicly voicing your opinions if they’re against the norm. One of the worst insults is “deserter” for those that did not wish to serve and “leftist” if you go against the murder of innocent people. Sadly being one or the other means problems for you down the road when trying to find a job and generally living a life here. It’s a small country, word gets around quickly and you still have to live here if you don’t have any other citizenship.

There are older documentaries where older IDF recount war crimes and being proud of it.. this been going since the creation of this project .. the two main forces that created the IDF are UK Registered terrorist organization.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

Even if it were the case that they didn't want to be there, "just following orders" is not an acceptable excuse for committing a genocide. The morally correct thing to do if you're compelled to service in the IDF is to refuse and face the consequences, because they cannot be worse than the moral injury of being tasked with the murder of innocent children.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

Even for the ones compelled to be there who have little (not no) choice, it doesn't mean the IDF isn't a terrorist organization. Other terrorist groups use force to get soldiers, yet we don't pull our punches calling them out.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 15 points 3 months ago

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Or shirts apparently

Death, death to the IDF!

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Damn tho, it catchy!

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You guys have sound? I can't unmute it in Lemmy, and directly on Imgur the unmute is grayed out.

Edit: Hmm, works on Firefox, again

Not the first time some media worked only in Firefox, but not Chrome. Embedded FLAC wouldn't play (despite it being supported), WebSDR audio wouldn't start, from the other times I recall.
Again being reminded to switch.

Maybe it’s because half their raps are in Gaeilge or the BBC just didn’t check, but booking Kneecap and not expecting to hear something about governments and Palestine would be like booking NWA and cutting their mics if they played Fuck the Police.

Great job riling up the crowd for Vylan’s new chant there, genius move.

[-] lama@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

The BBC are complicit in genocide by censoring the news in favour of Israel.

[-] Longpork3@lemmy.nz 6 points 3 months ago

Anyone got a video of the rest of this set? Searching for it just brings up page after page of genocide apologists getting upset over the warmup.

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

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.

I get knocked down... I get up again

[-] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 2 points 3 months ago

I can agree with that message

[-] demizerone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Israel is a murder machine.

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'll go check his songs now, just from that chant I can tell he has a way with music

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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