“We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine,” the duo said on Instagram. “A machine whose own soldiers were told to use ‘unnecessary lethal force’ against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza. We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.”

There is no backlash. It's manufactured outrage by Zionists and their puppets in media and politics.

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 23 points 19 hours ago

That's probably true of most things people think/say about the IDF at this point. Even my massively zionist "most moral military" aunt is calling it a genocide and is starting to oppose them

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I’m certainly in favor of seeing the IDF in prison. Bring on more chants.

[–] leftthegroup@lemmings.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

No, the change is right. They need to die.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

As in the organization needs to die. Which would quickly bring about the death of Zionist Israel as well, most likely.

You know I’d never heard of these guys until the outrage and I’ve been listening all day and I’m quite a fan.

Also, if you shouted death to Hitler in the ‘40s would you be getting this backlash too.

Jack Kirby was threatened for drawing Captain America punching Hitler. The difference back then was the mayor of NYC pot a protection detail on the Marvel offices instead of coming out to bat for Hitler.

It's more interesting to ask if " Death to Hitler" would have got you this reaction in the 30s. By the 40s we were at war with him and his followers. In the 30s he was in power, but there were still diplomatic relations.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 14 hours ago

Haha, no. You underestimate the power antisemitism has always had in the US

Among the Axis countries yes.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Even among the allied countries, yes.

There was still a lot of people who were afraid of offending Hitler/Germany at the time.

There were plenty of Americans who felt he had the right idea.

Charlie Chaplin released The Great Dictator in 1939, and while Hitler banned the film in Nazi-controlled countries, he allegedly watched it more than once after Chaplin personally arranged to have a copy sent to him (the balls on that guy).

Maybe not "death to Hitler," but it's fucking scathing, and the final speech would be considered extreme if it was released today.

Fantastic film if anyone hasn't seen it. Hysterical, on point satire.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 70 points 18 hours ago

The IDF are Nazis and committing genocide daily.

People chanting: “Death, death to the IDF!!” Is the bare minimum repercussion that’s to be expected. More people should join in!

Anyone defending or censoring for the IDF if a fucking goose stepping fascist.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 62 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

So their US visas got revoked. Meh. Who needs to go to the US anyway, who needs to be interrogated by some fascist chode at the border.

[–] supamanc@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Sadly, they will probably be convicted of some sort of hate speech and sent down.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

As someone in another post commented: Streisand effect. I never heard of these guys until now.

The genocide apologists are going to have a lot of egg on their face. They just keep digging themselves a deeper and deeper hole. History is written by the victors, but the younger generations have the last word. And history will not be kind.

its great PR/good press for said artist.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

Bob vylan doesn't have to say it. The trump administration said it to the world they would do this

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Could someone with better search skills or knowledge of their discography link to their music for me? I’ve heard it’s good but I legitimately can’t find anything but news videos when I go looking (I don’t use any music handler platforms)

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 5 points 14 hours ago

Start with their second album, We Live Here. It's got some incredible, visceral punk on it. The Price of Life, and Humble As the Sun are top notch, but a touch more polished.
