Kneecap delivers pro-Palestine message at Coachella

DUBAI: Irish band Kneecap took to the stage at the second week of the Coachella music festival in California to shine a light on Israel’s war against Palestine.

“Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people,” read a projection during the hip-hop trio’s performance. “It is being enabled by the US government who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes.”

"The Palestinians have nowhere to go. It's their home, and they're bombing it from the sky. If you're not calling it a genocide, what are you calling it?" said Kneecap rapper Moglai Bap, who was wearing a keffiyeh.

The musician went on to lead the audience in a "free, free Palestine" chant.
