Left-wing singers including Paul Weller and Paloma Faith accused Israel of committing “genocide” during a Gaza aid concert.

The £28-a-ticket Gig for Gaza on Friday at the O2 Academy in Brixton, south London, was billed by organiser Weller, The Jam frontman, as raising “funds and support for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza”.

But the event turned into “a political rally”, as singers levelled “one-sided propaganda” against Israel.

Weller, Faith and Irish trio Kneecap separately told the crowd that Israel had committed genocide in its war against Hamas in Gaza.

In a video seen by The Telegraph, Faith told the crowd: “History is happening now. And one day I hope people look back and see what the massive major f--- up this is. So thank you all for being here and being part of the right side of history. Free Palestine!”

Meanwhile, Weller gave a speech in which he said: “We cannot let genocide become a legit thing in the 21st century – it’s mental, it’s f---ing mental.”
