At the UK's Glastonbury Festival, punk artist Bobby Vylan led chants of Death to the IDF before a crowd of thousands, sparking widespread backlash. He also referenced a former "Zionist" boss in a way critics labeled antisemitic. The chant was echoed by attendees, many waving Palestinian and Lebanese flags. The BBC, which aired the performance, removed the footage and said police were reviewing whether laws against incitement were broken. Festival organizers condemned the rhetoric, emphasizing it crossed a line and reaffirming their stance against hate speech. Israeli Minister Amichai Chikli cited the incident as proof of rising antisemitism in Britain and urged Jews to emigrate. Separately, Kneecap, another controversial act associated with Hezbollah imagery, was not broadcast by the BBC. Following the uproar, Bob Vylan's US visas were reportedly revoked.
