Sharon Osbourne urges US to revoke rappers’ visas after Israel criticism

Sharon Osbourne has urged US authorities to revoke work visas for Kneecap after the Irish language rap group used a performance at Coachella to denounce Israeli attacks on Gaza.

The TV presenter accused the band of hate speech and supporting terrorist organisations and said it should not be allowed to perform in the US. “I urge you to join me in advocating for the revocation of Kneecap’s work visa,” she exhorted followers on X on Tuesday.

But obviously don't deport me if you dislike my opinion!

Because that is definitely happening.

There was a time where people were gung-ho about cracking down on disinformation and maybe more willing to crack down in this situation. Still, this band displaying dangerous disinformation during their concert, like falsely claiming that Jews are committing genocide, should trigger some kind of response to counter it.

That’s very disingenuous. You know they aren’t accusing Israeli Arabs of committing genocide. Their intent, and the understanding of their intent by anyone listening to their garbage, is clearly making the false accusation against Israeli Jews.

Sadly, we can’t get rid of the American antisemites who falsely claim there is genocide against Palestinians, but we can at least send this trash back to Ireland.

by Anonymousreply 16April 23, 2025 10:25 PM

R15 I believe your earlier comment was much more disingenuous. Whether or not Israeli Arabs are involved with the IDF and the genocide that the state of Israel is carrying out is immaterial, it is the state apparatus they are accusing. It’s not antisemitic to acknowledge what Israel is doing just because most of the main players are Jewish. They’re not calling out non Israeli Jewish people, only the state of Israel. Enormous amounts of non Zionist Jewish people worldwide are protesting Israel’s actions, are they antisemitic too?

by Anonymousreply 17April 23, 2025 10:25 PM

When antisemites falsely claim that Israel is committing genocide, it’s dangerous propaganda that stirs up actions against Jews, as we saw on college campuses. If that weren’t enough to prompt good people to act against those deliberately spreading the genocide lie against the Israeli Jews, and it should be, good people should speak out against the genocide lie told by the pro-Palestinians at least for the sake of truth itself.

by Anonymousreply 22April 23, 2025 10:38 PM

It's a complicated subject. I knew that after the October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel, that if Israel were going into Gaza to clear out all the Hamas, there was no effective way to do so without significant citizen casualties, because Hamas has had 20 years to build an embedded network underneath and within the civilian population. It was a lose/lose situation. But are people arguing that Israel in quest to get to destroy all of Hamas and their supporting fighters, only have the right to kill up to the same number of people who died on October 7th?

by Anonymousreply 23April 23, 2025 10:42 PM

R23 girl they’ve killed 50+ people for every person killed on Oct 7th, even mentioning an equitable threshold is such bizarre behaviour. Israel have killed twice as many babies under two years old as the total amount of people that were killed on Oct 7th. Get some perspective. “Lose lose situation”, go fuck yourself.

That’s like saying criticism of American foreign policy is “anti-Christian bigotry” because most Americans are Christian.

When your desperation is virtually palpable, and easy to lampoon, best to let it go. The accusation that anyone who criticizes Israel is an antisemite is lazy, stupid, and has made Zionists look even worse than they do by cheerleading for genocide.

It’s not correct to state that everyone who criticizes Israel is being accused of being antisemitic. It’s antisemites who are being called out, properly, for being antisemitic. The antisemitic things they say about Israel just happen to be a way they expose themselves. Inevitably, they also make other negative comments about Jews. They can’t help themselves.

And still Hamas does not release the remaining hostages. It looks as though Hamas so wanted to diminish sympathy for Israel that it was willing to and is still willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of Palestinian lives.

R35 Israel has thousands of Palestinians held hostage. Hundreds of times more than Hamas has. Where’s your energy for those people? Let me guess that’s Hamas’ fault too, because they’re running Israel 😂

Asking you directly, is the murder of 2500+ babies acceptable to you?

From that and from other things I've read, it sounds as though they have been held without due process. It's wrong. And it is not equivalent to attacking homes, shooting dogs, kidnapping infants, murdering concertgoers, raping hostages, denying them medication and murdering children. Hamas had options other than going to war. It has options now other than continuing war. Israel was releasing prisoners in exchange for hostages. And that was completely disproportionate. And then Hamas stopped. So, again, it would appear that Hamas is fine with tens of thousands of Palestinians being killed by the IDF.

by Anonymousreply 40April 25, 2025 9:29 PM

Here’s more R38

[quote] An estimated 10,000 Palestinian children have been held in Israeli military detention over the past 20 years, according to the NGO Save the Children.

[quote] Reasons for the arrest of children range from stone-throwing to participation in a gathering of merely 10 people without a permit, on any issue “that could be construed as political”.

Now you tell me, if a foreign police force drove into the territory in which you lived, arrested you for no reason, took you across the border to their territory, imprisoned you without charge or a trial date, and didn't allow your family or lawyer to visit you, how happy would you be? Would you say “oh I’m sure they have good reason” while you rotted in a foreign jail? Would you consider yourself a hostage? Go on, answer directly let’s see you squirm.

Yes, r42. And members of the IDF have tried and convicted of sexual abuse. How many Palestinians has Hamas arrested for raping Israelis? When Palestinians paraded their rape victims in Gaza, did Hamas arrest them or applaud them?

by Anonymousreply 45April 25, 2025 9:38 PM

I didn't notice that question. I would object. I would expect my government to fight on my behalf.

Eyewitness accounts of the rapes at the concert site abound. Autopsy reports also show evidence of rape. And then there are the videos Palestinians posted of themselves with their "trophies."

R38, you showed your ignorant ass here.

Why do you think so many are upset about Gaza? Are they all insane? Or could it be that human rights are being destroyed by the Netanyahu regime? Could it be that they are indeed committing war crimes on a daily basis? Are you ok with how we murdered Iraqis too? Some of us lived through Iraq and are fighting to not allow our government to lie to us AGAIN. Some of us understand that the entire US economy is run by the war—mongering industrial complex. Our entire budget (practically) goes to the fucking military.

Stop reading and listening to propaganda. Start listening to European/Canadian media, plus Al Jazeera, then get back to us. Informed Americans do NOT want their tax dollars to go to bombs to kill babies. They’re literally running kids in tents over with tanks too. You ok with that? You ok with side workers at World Kitchen, there to feed starving children, being murdered?

I’m not going to pretend to know everything. But goddamn, I am so disgusted with how ignorant posters here have become. This site used to be overflowing with artists, academics, and intellectuals. But just like the rest of America, DL has fallen and become so debased.
