00:00Would you have said up Hamas, up Hezbollah at a gig?

00:05I don't know. I don't know.

00:07It's not something that I would have thought about

00:09if you're suggesting to me would I go and do it tonight.

00:11Well, Hamas, as far as I know, are not a prescribed group in Ireland.

00:16I think this whole period is, I hope,

00:18going to bring about a really honest

00:21and not hysterical conversation about resistance.

00:25For me to say that I'm against resistance movements

00:27would be ludicrous because I'm Irish.

00:29If it wasn't for resistance movements,

00:31I wouldn't live in a free, independent,

00:33albeit partly free and independent country.

00:37We need to have a serious, non-hysterical conversation about resistance

00:40in the same way that we have to have a serious,

00:42non-hysterical conversation about cancelling people

00:44for their thoughts and words,

00:46as opposed to looking at governments for their ridiculous deeds.

00:48Even the fact that we're talking about this right now,

00:51in a way, also kind of gets in the way of the real conversations

00:56that we should be having, maybe not us specifically,

00:58but that the world should be having,

01:00which is the fact that the West is aiding and abetting

01:02an ongoing genocide and mass starvation,

01:06engineered by a rogue state, is going on

01:08and we're all sitting around chatting

01:10and hoping our governments will suddenly see the light

01:13and do the right thing.
