Anarchist hardcore band from North Carolina, playing together for over three decades. We have a new LP out called Hope Against Hope. Against all — for all. 🏴

Statement - March 2, 2026

In 2024, while driving with a Palestinian flag in the window of his vehicle, our drummer Alexei got into an argument with people who oppose Palestinian liberation. He was also accused of taking down pro-Israel ribbons. Those on the other side of the argument pressed charges against him, portraying the encounter in the worst possible light.

After publicizing the allegations, prosecutors never brought the charges to trial. The publicity was the point.

This is part of the weaponization of the legal system against protesters and dissidents—including Jewish anti-Zionists like Alexei—as a consequence of the rise of the far right in the US.

We stand by Alexei's political position. As a Jew, he has a right and an obligation to criticize the state of Israel, which claims to speak for him. He also deserves a fair hearing. Those who take this opportunity to misrepresent a Jewish activist as "antisemitic" are taking the side of the police state and playing into the rise of fascism.

Alexei is not the only anti-Zionist Jew in our band. We are concerned that this could set a precedent for silencing Jewish voices and pave the way for the deaths of countless more Palestinians.
