Franz Ferdinand attack IDF for using ‘Take Me Out’ in propaganda video: “This makes us both nauseous and furious”

Summary: Franz Ferdinand's lead singer, Alex Kapranos, is very angry. The Israeli military (IDF) used the band's famous 2004 song, "Take Me Out," in a propaganda video. The video showed fighter planes and bombings in Iran. These real-life attacks killed Iran's supreme leader and could start a bigger regional war.

Kapranos went on Instagram to say the band did not give permission for their music to be used this way. He called the military "warmongering murderers" and said the video made him feel sick to his stomach and furious. The band is known for speaking out on politics, like when they wrote a song against Donald Trump in 2016. Right now, the band is touring Europe for their new album, The Human Fear, bringing their raw energy and famous high kicks to the stage.
