Enter Shikari have made a speech expressing solidarity with Palestine at their huge Wembley Arena gig last night (February 17).The St Albans band have just finished off their massive UK arena tour at London’s arena last night, where frontman Rou Reynolds made a riveting speech in support of Palestine: “We cannot just enjoy this moment without acknowledging the fact that there are children being blown to pieces by a government and a country that has been completely lost in nationalistic and religious fervour.”He continued to express solidarity “with the activists and actionists up and down the country who have been blocking and targeting the Israeli weapons manufacturing factories.” Reynolds also emphasise that “our country is very complicit in this atrocity”, and supported “those who are targeting the investment banks that are effectively bankrolling genocide.“We have been yelling ‘Free Gaza’, ‘Free Palestine’ for 15 years,” he said. “I just hope to God that there is still a Gaza and a Palestine left when this fucking nightmare ends.“So let us be grateful for tonight, we have safety.
