Hungary bans Irish rap group Kneecap from entering ahead of festival performance

The POV presented in the article is one POV in Hungary, the country is divided on the issue but mostly does not care beyond a small minority.

People cite the band shouting "Up Hamas, up Hezbollah" on this concert as justification for the ban.

I've never listened to them, but they're one of my favorite bands.
Edit: Just had a listen. Fuck yeah.
- Never heard of them until I watched a documentary on a plane about them, pretty cool
- I saw the movie also called Kneecap about them, it was fun
Lol, banned from Hungary is a badge of honour. Orban doesn't get to lecture anyone on anything.
Now do everyone in, and in support of, the Likud party.
- Current outgoing Orbán govt is sucking Bibi's dick, the incoming govt is not going to be any better on this issue, the best you can expect is ignorance from them I imagine.
  Ironically, in Hungary the only party in open opposition of Israel is the further-than-Orbán far-right, because they hate Jews and kinda like traditionalist Turks for some reason.
  
  the incoming govt
  You got some inside knowledge on Magyar and how his Gvment is expected to be for Hungarians?
Did the band a favor, stopping them from entering a shithole.

I’ve been listening to these guys for years, and thanks to the Streisand effect, Bob Vylan is now in my playlist too. Death death to the IDF
