While the statement did not name any specific bands, it got re-shared by two acts that have come under fire recently for their pro-Palestinian comments, Northern Irish rap group Kneecap and Irish rock band Fontaines D.C., as well as Brian Eno and Garbage.

British punk duo Bob Vylan recently courted controversy by shouting “Free Palestine” and “Death to the IDF” during their Glastonbury Festival set — the latter in reference to the Israel Defense Forces — an action that led to their being dropped by their booking agent, as well as a police investigation into the incident and the cancellation of festival appearances and European tour dates with Gogol Bordello.
