The band said on Monday “let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah.”
“We condemn all attacks on civilians, always,” the band said.
It’s really easy to reconcile that with the video. It’s called watching the atrocities that Israel commits, and getting angry enough that you say something you don’t entirely mean or haven’t entirely thought through.
This seems a foreign concept to many folks here and elsewhere online, but somehow I’ve managed to be horrified by Israel’s genocide and want to end it, without ever thinking “you know what, the literal terrorists on the other side are good actually, death to Israel and all Jews”.
Oh wow! I’m so glad to hear that! We all care sooo much about your personal experience with anger!
Thank God the way that you get angry and emotional, is the exact same way that everyone else does, in every single situation!
Whew, for a second there I thought we might have to use the power of remembering times when we were extremely angry and said things we didn’t mean, and try and combine that with empathy to apply it to the current situation, but thank God we don’t because /u/Cyrus here has explained that he’s never said anything he didn’t mean out of anger. So obviously everyone else must be the same in every situation.
Thank you cyrus, we all believe your words sooo much, and definitely don’t just think you’re a brain dead dumbass.
I don’t think you can take a single live artististic performance as “being on the record for endorsing” anything.
Eminem wasn’t endorsing everything in his lyrics.

Yes, like I said.
Me, an intellectual, looking at a guy wearing a Hezbollah flag and saying up Hamas, up Hezbollah: “actually that doesn’t prove he likes Hezbollah”

I find it hard to reconcile that with the video, but if they are willing to publicly apologize for it then they should be allowed into Canada.
