    They stated that “an extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action”.

      Their personas and performances are definitely tongue-in-cheek. No-one (not already on a watchlist) who attended those events would come away with the impression they were actually inciting murder.

      However they recently called out Israel at a major American event, and so the bot farms are in furious overdrive to amplify any clippable moment.
