Great interview but IndieWire maybe don't end the video with an upbeat jaunty jazzy track played underneath Mo Chara's description of a genocide

How can a language be political?

Everything can be political.

Love this band and can't wait to see the movie. However, they are woefully misinformed about the conflict in "Palestine." Don't believe the disinformation and erroneous numbers being strewn about by those in "Palestine". For instance, is this band aware that Hamas uses civilians as human shields and that Israel has tried to broker peace with the terrorist leaders for years to no avail because they will settle for nothing less than the genocide of all Jews and Israel. If this band is going to get all political, fine, but at least do your research, inform yourselves and come at it with a discerning eye. Geez.

"settle for nothing less than the genocide of israel" mate how do you think israel came to be a country in the first place. foc off with your selective support for colonised nations when eire and palestine are both victims of the same shit, putting palestine in quotes. absolute bastard
