I think Helena should look into Fontaines history and their lyrics before assuming they are just “celebrity activist”. They are a very political band and could absolutely be the face of the campaign to liberate Palestine
The British rock outfit IDOLS is also Free Palestine at their shows and Concerts and are far from being mainstream celebrities and so is Fontaines D.C.
Still waiting on those humanitarians Bono and Bob to call out injustice towards women and children of Palestine. They are normally first but I haven't heard a word from them yet.
People feel strongly about whats happening in Gaza. Its a holocaust and so shocking and therefore nothing wrong with people showing support to Palestinians. Any speech from celebrities should be welcomed whether it works or not to STOP GENOCIDE!!
There is an enormous chasm between "celebrities" bandwaggoning a cause versus the musicians such as Lowkey and Macklemore. If it hadn't been for artists like Neal Young, John Lennon and CCR, the Vietnam War would have dragged on much longer.

Those in positions of priviledge due to their cultural relevance / connection to the populace absolutely need to use their voice - what twaddle is she speaking!
The point about celebrity 'endorsement' and it's impact on British liberals didn't fully make sense here considering the examples were two Irish people and a Scottish person. Always a bit of a blind spot for Novara outside of England. I think most Irish folks see speaking on Palestine as a duty, most of us grew up with at least some knowledge of the 'conflict' and both Fontaines DC and Sally Rooney are political in their art, Rooney has called herself a socialist. Anyway, Mayo 4 Sam!
sometimes a human being can only speaks up when the cup is full. i don't think you are right Helena. He is siding with the under dog in this scenario. and he risks negative repercussions for his career. so i don't think the guy tries to do some PR or something. heck sometimes one just needs to vent.
Helena is tone def if she thinks Fontaine is similar to Beyounce or Oprah??? WTF is she on about? The reality is virtually NO celebrity has the intestinal fortitude to say anything of substance against Israel. Just a fact . That she would then try to conflate the issues is deliberately gross. She’s just hoping to get a gig for mainstream. Good luck to her please just slither off.
This musician has done something brave and consequential, so in fact, that it seemingly scared your guest into a shameful critique, that has nothing to do with this act.
In a November 29, 2024 address aired on IRINN TV (Iran), General Mohammad-Reza Naghdi, Deputy IRGC commander-in-chief for coordination, threatened Israel with a second “Al-Aqsa Flood,” claiming it would completely "finish off" the country. Naghdi argued that the October 7, 2023 Al-Aqsa Flood demonstrated the need for offensive action against Israel, warning that failing to push the attack to Tel Aviv and liberate Jerusalem would lead to Israel killing civilians. Responding to questions about a third “Operation True Promise,” following the direct Iranian missile attacks on Israel in April and October, Naghdi emphasized his focus on a second “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, which he claimed would surpass the October 7 attack. He added that the upcoming conflict would make the past year seem like a "walk in the park" for Israelis. The clip ends with the audience chanting “Death to Israel.”

Brave people swimming in a sea of cowards !
like Helena with her commentary
Love the Fontaines already but love them even more now!!
FREE PALESTINE...FREE LEBANON...
From Islam?

Love Fontaines dc. Being vocal on this, and other topics, is definitely on brand.
Please do a report on the band Kneecap. They also used their platform recently to stand up for Palestine
The British rock outfit IDOLS is also Free Palestine at their shows and Concerts and are far from being mainstream celebrities and so is Fontaines D.C.
There is an episode about Kneecap on Novara already🤩
@@europainvicta3907 kneecap kneecap!
@@daymeeedababy IDLES, tho 👍
Went to their lisbon show, they had a palestine flag up and said Free Palestine, they're awesome
Israel has the right to defend itself against Irish rock bands with a conscience.
LOL
yep you win the comment section comrade lmfao
They've no right whatsoever to defend themselves.
😂
Still waiting on those humanitarians Bono and Bob to call out injustice towards women and children of Palestine.
They are normally first but I haven't heard a word from them yet.
😂 Bono won't risk his contracts...plus the buffoon did some performative nonsense when Navalny died. It was cringe that it made me almost 🤢🤮
I was not draw to Fontaines DC ...but now I am A BIG FAN
Congratulations to these artists on their success & a huge thank you for speaking up for those whose voices have been silenced 👏

Great stuff! All good for you.

@@StratsRUs Used to feel good about the idea that Radiohead would be a real historical band. But now, I'd be fine if they trailed into obscurity.

Bless them
Such times bad time, that a simple sentence is considered brave and heroic.
It's ANTISEMITIC to say that and he's inciting a POGROM 😂😆
Thank you ❤
Old car with a doily on it, and half empty Irn Bru bottles? Rubbish (literally!) art. Great speech.
Free Palestine
Interesting, thank you for the recommandation of artists with a conscience. I'll listen to their music.
The Turner prizes definition of art has gone out the window by the looks of it.
Its the Gen Z. You are not young enough. LOL
@trumplostlol3007 hopefully most of gen z will see that for what it is, shite!

fontaines dc are one of the best bands going at the moment and this confirms it
Well done to all the winners. As for their speeches, I couldn’t put it better myself.
FZ. Love it.
Those in positions of priviledge due to their cultural relevance / connection to the populace absolutely need to use their voice - what twaddle is she speaking!
just saw fontaines dc last night! very pleasant surprise to see this video
It’s a bit late to disband Band Aid. Where’s Bono, what does he think about celebrity activists making money from peoples suffering?

Solid point Helena. We need activism to have a real influence and result. That needs mass movement.

The art is very Joana Vasconcelos coded, that's okay, no one owns art styles.
Helena gets it. Trotsky junior doesn’t.

Reasoning is not her best quality. Her comment is so screwed up.

Is that your sad attempt at trying to justify 75 years of brutal oppression.
@VEE-z3l What do you believe he's saying?
Sorry, what is she talking about?
Helena…hush your mouth,…you obviously know nothing about Fontaines DC….maybe do your research before……you make yourself look silly
I agree with her but the art is terrible.
Trendy vacuous posturing. Shema Yisrael!
Listen up, I've never heard of this band.
You looking too,hard left.
Love Trump he is saying the same about Hamas😮
Zzzzzzz
