UK Music Festival Urged to Cancel Set by Irish Rap Group Kneecap Tied to Antisemitic, Anti-Israel Rhetoric...

A British charity combatting antisemitism has called on organizers of the Reading Festival to cancel a scheduled performance by the Irish rap group Kneecap. The request cites the group's past statements and associations with antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetoric.

Kneecap has faced criticism for expressing support for designated terrorist organizations and using language targeting Jews and the State of Israel. Festival organizers have not yet responded publicly to the charity's appeal.
