“We’re not like them. We’re not like Israel, we’re not here to cause fights”
Protestors attempted to disrupt Kneecap‘s Rock en Seine performance this weekend – see what happened below.
Yesterday (August 24), the Irish rap trio took to the Rock en Seine stage following weeks of tension due to their controversial remarks aimed at Israel. Following the group’s explosive set at Coachella earlier this year – where they hit out at Israel and several governments for their support of Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict – calls were made to remove the group from several festival bills across the UK and Europe.
Paris’ Rock en Seine Festival stood by Kneecap, confirming that they would not be removing the act from the bill – this unfortunately resulted in substantial funding being cut from this year’s programming.
At the set yesterday, the start of Kneecap’s set saw pro-Israel supporters protest against the group. People waved small anti-Kneecap flags in their hands and continually blew on whistles to disrupt the show, only to be called out by the rap trio instead and be removed from the crowd as “Free, free Palestine” chants echoed across the festival grounds.
Rapper Móglaí Bap said: “They wanna try and stop us. They don’t want us to play the festival. We’re not going to allow them to get away. We’re not like them. We’re not like Israel. We’re not here to cause fights. We’re here to have a good time. If anyone blows whistles, let security know, we’ll get rid of them. No aggravation. It’s all love, all support for Palestine.”
Mo Chara continued: “I know we’re angry, we’re frustrated. Do not let these people feel that. We’re here for love, enjoyment and support.”
Following Kneecap’s address of the protestors, the rest of their set seemingly went off without a hitch, and the trio were able to complete their Rock en Seine performance without any other interference.
Last week, the group’s Mo Chara appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court over terrorism charges levelled against him in May for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag onstage at a London show last November. The musician first appeared at the court in June, when he was released on unconditional bail.
At the hearing last week, it was announced that judgment has been reserved, with the next hearing set to be held on Friday September 26. There, Judge Paul Goldspring will give his decision on whether he has jurisdiction to hear the case. Additionally, Mo Chara’s lawyers are seeking to throw out the case, arguing that the terror charge against him was brought outside the time limit.
Responding to the terror charge in May, the group denied the offence and vowed to “vehemently defend ourselves”. “This is political policing,” they wrote. “This is a carnival of distraction. We are not the story. Genocide is.”
Kneecap have consistently denied supporting either Hamas or Hezbollah, and said that they do not incite or condone violence. They have also argued that the footage at the UK shows had been taken out of context, and described the legal action as a “carnival of distraction”.

Rot in hell, Rapper Bap. You jew hating filth.
I don’t want people to suffer for eternity for having the wrong opinion or information
The people there, looks to be all Europeans, will find that their Jew-hating chants for the people of Gaza won’t do them any good when the transition takes place in about a decade.
They will wish they hadn’t been so STUPID to follow the Globalists to their doom and had fought them back when they were strong enough to stop them.
In this case, they are following progressives.
I don’t get it. What happened on October 7, allows Israel to do whatever the hell they need to do IMO.
“We’re not like them. We’re not like Israel. We’re not here to cause fights.”
Morons. Leave Israel alone and they’ll leave you alone.
Irish rappers WTF are they?A why are they performing in Françe?
I giess Moglai and Mo were just trying to kneecap the concert.
“we’re here to have a good time” (by calling for the slaughter of Jews)
Irish Republicans. Why are they alway siding with Nazis?
One grenade would get them both. Just sayin’
You are right and I was wrong. Thank you for the admonition.
