Kneecap have taken to social media to blast Disturbed singer David Draiman. This news comes shortly after the frontman criticized Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello for praising the hip-hop group.

As previously reported, Morello initially made headlines after calling Kneecap “the Rage Against The Machine of now.” This comment fired up Draiman, who has an issue with Kneecap’s stance on the war in Gaza.

Kneecap have been extremely vocal about their support of Palestine. The group’s Mo Chara was also hit with a terrorism charge after allegedly holding up a flag in support of Hezbollah during a 2024 show.

On the other hand, Draiman has been a big supporter of Israel amid the conflict. He even generated controversy after sharing a photo of himself signing an artillery shell.

With this in mind, Draiman took aim at Morello after seeing the admiration he had for Kneecap. He said the following:

“Shameful. Truly. Wish I could say I was shocked. Guess my family doesn’t count, when it comes to my “friend’s” virtue signaling for those who support terror, and incite Jew hatred.”

This seemingly inspired Kneecap to respond:

“We don’t care what religion anyone is…or if they’ve one at all.

We love all sound cunts.

Smiling and signing bombs dropped to murder kids and other people’s families just makes you a straight up cunt.

Simple as.

Free Palestine”

Draiman has since fired back as well:

“Here’s the thing, and I’ll speak to you in small words, so you understand.

That shell was meant for HAMAS. You know, the organization who has sworn to murder all Jews, not just Israelis, time and time again, including my family.

You shoot at Jews? Expect Jews to shoot back.

All innocent lives lost in this conflict are due to Hamas using their own people as cannon fodder so that they can gain the sympathy of those who are only too eager to jump on the Jew hating train. If the hostages were released and Hamas surrendered, the bloodshed would end…

But neither you, nor Hamas really want that. Because without dead martyred Palestinians to fuel your zeitgeist, both you and them lose power.

Enjoy your 5 minutes gentlemen. It could have been done with your art, but instead you chose to do it with hatred. Bye now”
