Thank you so much for this post -- I have been wondering about this since last year. It is just so contradictory to punk to support anything anti-Palestine, it boggles my mind. This proves more than ever just how much Palestine is truly the litmus test for everything, for a shred of humanity.
I've become so disillusioned by punk/rock/metal music of late that since October I have been unable to listen to anyone besides artists who have even remotely spoken up a bit. Bring Me the Horizon supposedly wrote a song about Palestine, but it is so subtle, it still feels like trying to play it safe/both sides - but Oli Sykes has spoken up about Palestinian people at least. And yes, The Used. That is about it. System of a Down has always supported Palestine but recently haven't been very vocal.
PS: There are really good spanish punk bands talking about it and having Songs about it
Soziedad Alkohilka - Nos vimos en Berlin
Ska p - Intifada
And Spanish famous punk singer Fermin Muguruza from Kortatu its a an real activist for Palestine.
And for the end, there is an hardcore band from Boston, Massachusetts called Ramallah and obviously Pro-Palestine 💕
