In this episode, we unpack the rising controversy surrounding Kneecap, the Irish rap trio whose politically charged performance at Coachella sparked global backlash, and what that response reveals about media bias, censorship, and distraction tactics in the face of the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

What started as a bold statement in support of Free Palestine quickly escalated into calls for visa bans, gig cancellations, and even counter-terrorism investigations. But is the outrage really about the message, or who’s delivering it?

We’ll cover:

• Kneecap’s viral Coachella performance and its censored livestream
• Accusations of antisemitism, hate speech, and support for terrorist groups
• The band’s powerful statements defending Palestinian human rights
• Why the media smear campaign feels all too familiar, and dangerously effective
• A roundup of the latest humanitarian atrocities in Gaza that the world seems to be ignoring
• And the deeper question: Why are artists being punished for telling the truth, while world leaders remain untouched?
• 
  

This episode is raw, unfiltered, and deeply necessary. Because the real story isn’t Kneecap, it’s what’s happening in Gaza right now.
