    Earlier this week, the guitarist declared that the Irish rap trio are “clearly the Rage Against The Machine of now”, praising them for speaking truth to power in their outspoken support for the people of Palestine.

    “What they’re doing in their art is what people could probably stand to do more in their lives: to really speak truth to power. And, you know, Kneecap are not terrorists,” he said.

    “What is terroristic is, you know, 20,000 dead Palestinian children. That’s the story. Not some Irish rappers who don’t like that that’s happening. [That] should not be the story.”

    Now, Draiman has responded to Morello’s comments, replying in a social media post: “Shameful. Truly.”
