They are only gaining even more exposure from all of this. I would have never heard of them otherwise.
True, I ended up listening to some tracks and bought two of their albums. Their response to being dropped from their agency and the attempts to smear them was awesome. Even if the “news” outlets want to focus on the video of the chant at the show. It means they have to show the footage with all the Palestine flags and the banner on the stage behind the group. Still isn’t those outlets admitting that the genocide is happening. But still keeps Palestine in the “news” in even a small way. For their efforts to keep Palestine talked about at their own threat to gigs and being dropped from their agency. I hope that their music is listened to by more people than would have known about them otherwise.
“The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves…The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.”
British state media is absolute trash. Everything that comes out of it should be considered false before proven otherwise by a reputable source.
