To be even more fair; you’re directly quoting misinformation released by the Canadian government in support of Israel and their mass murder of Palestinian people (aka, genocide). This misinformation is a result of “Jewish” groups, which recently have shown themselves as basically being lapdogs for the Israeli state.
Kneecap aren’t anti-semetic, they are anti-Israel and as much as Israeli fascists want it to be; being against the Israeli state is not the the same as being against Jews.
I’m not sure what you mean by that comment - are you saying Hamas and Hezbollah are OK? I wouldn’t welcome a band that praises the IDF, and this is no different.
The band said on Monday “let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah.”
“We condemn all attacks on civilians, always,” the band said.
It’s really easy to reconcile that with the video. It’s called watching the atrocities that Israel commits, and getting angry enough that you say something you don’t entirely mean or haven’t entirely thought through.
This seems a foreign concept to many folks here and elsewhere online, but somehow I’ve managed to be horrified by Israel’s genocide and want to end it, without ever thinking “you know what, the literal terrorists on the other side are good actually, death to Israel and all Jews”.
That’s fair, since they’re on the record as endorsing groups that are recognized by the Canadian government as terrorist entities:

This!!
Is this video misinformation? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ie5qs
Yes because people in power have always made decent decisions. The law is moral and might makes right…

Where did I say this?
Hasbara-brained dummies will remember you saying whatever they want, without evidence.
They got marked as zionist.
How, they equated Hezbollah to the IDF. Regardless of any arguments about equivalence or lack thereof, I don’t think a zionist would ever do that.
what do you think of them?
what do you think of october 7th?
Ofcourse you go silent as soon as someone directly asks if you support October 7th… Coward.
Yet you ignore how 65k Palestinians were murdered by the IDF. How pathetic to throw insults.
Talk about deflection and straw manning. You still haven’t answered the question.
I don’t think you can take a single live artististic performance as “being on the record for endorsing” anything.
Eminem wasn’t endorsing everything in his lyrics.

Yes, like I said.
Me, an intellectual, looking at a guy wearing a Hezbollah flag and saying up Hamas, up Hezbollah: “actually that doesn’t prove he likes Hezbollah”

I find it hard to reconcile that with the video, but if they are willing to publicly apologize for it then they should be allowed into Canada.
