Scottish rock band says image ‘meant to provoke debate, not hate’ after many at concert accuse group of antisemitism
The Scottish rock group, Primal Scream, has defended displaying an image of a swastika inside a Star of David during a London gig, in response to accusations of racism and antisemitism.
During a performance at the London’s Roundhouse, a video was shown on stage of a swastika in the centre of a Star of David that was then superimposed over eyes of images of political figures, including the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the US president, Donald Trump.
The film was projected behind the band as they performed the song Swastika Eyes.
Images of the destruction in Gaza were also shown on screen. The video concluded with the words: “Our government is complicit in genocide.”
