Primal Scream concert visuals combine swastikas and Stars of David, sparking outrage

Scottish rock band Primal Scream sparked controversy during a London concert by displaying visuals that combined swastikas and Stars of David over the eyes of Israeli and other world leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The images, shown during the performance of their song 'Swastika Eyes,' were interspersed with scenes from Gaza and concluded with a message accusing governments of complicity in genocide. The incident prompted a Jewish security group to file a police complaint, condemning the visuals as antisemitic and dangerous. The Roundhouse venue distanced itself from the imagery, condemning antisemitism and asserting it was unaware of the content in advance. Primal Scream defended their actions as artistic expression meant to provoke debate, not hate, and reaffirmed their stance on freedom of expression.
