Suzanne Harrington: Ireland stays on the right side of history when it comes to Palestine

"To call [Bob Vylan's] words antisemitic is like calling the condemnation of Islamic death squads Islamophobic — except the IDF are ‘legitimate’. The BBC continues to call the genocide a ‘conflict’."

As a fan of both Bob Vylan and Kneecap, I seem to be making a habit of going to performances whose aftermaths generate steaming piles of manufactured outrage by institutions keen to prop up genocide. 

First that London gig which landed Mo Chara in court, now Bob Vylan at Glastonbury. (‘Sir’ Rod Stewart can, however, express heartfelt support for far-right racist Nigel Farage, with zero consequences. Almost as if far-right racism is fine now).
