MODERATORS
The band’s solution when criticised for this has been to retreat into an outwardly apolitical humanitarianism that just wants Gazan civilians to stop being massacred by the IDF.
So now it’s ‘ outwardly apolitical’ to be vocally against the genocide? Shit take
Compared to
It’s easy when you’re an obscure band to bellow “kill your local MP” or bray “up Hamas, up Hezbollah”.
Yeah, pretty much. Very few people would argue against stopping killing Gazan civilians (even if they are not willing to back the measures that would result in that, like applying real presure to Israel), that makes it a fairly apolictial thing to say. Advocating killing MPs or supporting Iranian proxies is certainly a lot more contencious.
I think what it means is that it's expressing the concern for civilians without expressing support for a particular side or claiming that one side is more/less correct or deserves to exist.
It doesn't mean they don't have a side or don't think that one side is clearly in the wrong and there are pretty obvious geopolitical reasons for why these things are happening. It's just a good strategy optics-wise to make broad humanitarian appeals instead of voicing something more specific, it's a good way to make the opposition look bad.
