British police probing Irish band Kneecap over videos praising Hamas, Hezbollah
2025-05-02
[IsraelTimes] London police say a counter-terrorism probe has been opened into online videos of Irish-language rappers Kneecap in response to claims the band supported Hamas and Hezbollah and incited violence against politicians.

The capital’s Metropolitan Police says two videos had been “referred to the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit for assessment by specialist officers, who have determined there are grounds for further investigation into potential offenses linked to both videos.”

The band denies the allegations.

The accusations first surfaced after the band projected “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine” on stage while performing at Coachella last month.
