00:00Taig, pick up on that, what Emily's saying, flying the Hamas flag, which we saw from NICAP, is there a designated terrorist organization and saying death to the IDF.
00:12Isn't that taking it a step too far than just saying free, free Palestine?
00:18Well, I think we have to be cognizant of the fact that vast swathes of the global south would see the IDF as akin to a terrorist organization.
00:28They would see Israel as illegally occupying Palestine.
00:32And many people in the West now are coming round to the realization of just how brutal, just how oppressive the settler colonial project of Zionism is in Palestine.
00:45And I think to demonize the resistance is getting harder and harder for the Israelis.
00:51When on our phones every day, we are seeing the brutal effects of the Israeli war machine all over the region.
01:00So in my view, when an artist in the context of a gig particularly says death to the IDF, by the way, he's not calling for the killing or the murder of individual people.
01:13He is commenting on what I would perceive to be a war.
01:20It might have started off as some sort of war.
01:22It's now an absolute genocide between an oppressive colonial force and people who are resisting that oppressive colonial force.
01:32This is what we are queria to see to get a wall that is likely to be a war.
01:51And this is where we are going to be a war.
