Massive Attack 👏👏👏👏

KNEECAP ARE NOT THE STORY

If senior politicians can find neither the time, nor the words to condemn, say, the murder of fifteen voluntary aid workers in Gaza, or the illegal starvation of a civilian population as a method of warfare, or the killing of thousands & thousands of children in the same territory, by a state in possession of the highest precision weapons on earth;
how much notice should a music festival take of their moral advice on booking performing acts?

As a band that has spoken publicly for more than 30 years about the illegal occupation, apartheid system and killing with impunity of thousands of Palestinians, we are hyper aware of the both the human cost of abject political silence, and the commercial implications of publicly expressing solidarity with an oppressed people.

Language matters of course.
The hideous murders of elected politicians
Jo Cox and David Amess means there’s no scope
for flippancy or recklessness.

But do politicians and right-wing journalists strategically
concocting moral outrage over the stage utterings
of a young punk band, while simultaneously obfuscating
or even ignoring a genocide happening in real time
(including the killing of journalists in unprecedented
numbers) have any right to intimidate festival events
into acts of political censorship?

Kneecap are not the story.

Gaza is the story.
Genocide is the story.

And the silence, acquiescence and support of those
crimes against humanity by the elected
British government is the real story.

Solidarity with all artists with the moral courage to speak
out against Israeli war crimes, and the ongoing
persecution and slaughter of the Palestinian people.

Massive Attack.

We need help.
The UK government plans to deport my wife for one reason and one reason only.
We are too poor.
Please see thread below and help us if you can, even if that just means spreading the word.
