Sharon Osbourne calls for Kneecap to lose US visas after anti-Israel performance at Coachella

Jewish stars are condemning Kneecap after the Irish band delivered an anti-Israel performance during its set at Coachella.

At least one is calling for the Trump administration to revoke the band’s work visas in advance of its upcoming — and nearly sold-out — US tour.

“Their actions included projections of anti-Israel messages and hate speech, and this band openly support terrorist organizations,” writes Sharon Osbourne on Instagram. “This behavior raises concerns about the appropriateness of their participation in such a festival and further shows they are booked to play in the USA.”

Osbourne, a Jewish TV personality and the wife of metal legend Ozzy Osbourne, is referring to Kneecap’s social media posts venerating Hezbollah and its performance at Coachella. There, the band projected a series of messages that accused Israel of genocide, condemned US support for the Israeli military and concluded, “F–k Israel. Free Palestine.”

The group also led Coachella attendees in chanting “Free, free Palestine.”

Peter Himmelman, a Jewish singer and songwriter, calls Kneecap “savvy provocateurs” and accuses the group of manipulating the crowd.
