There seems to be an awful lot of media outrage about Bob Vylan and Kneecap today. Can't find much mention of this though. I wonder why not?

It’s exhausting thst our govt is quicker & more vociferous in condemning chants vs the indiscriminate murder of innocent civilians inc thousands of children. Whatever you think abiut the chanting, there must be a part of you that can see the IDF’s actions are worse. 🧵 news.sky.com/story/israel...
