Government condemns Glastonbury chants aired live on BBC
The government strongly condemns chants at Glastonbury Festival from Bob Vylan calling for "death" to the Israeli military, broadcast live on the BBC. The rap punk duo led chants of "free Palestine" and "death to the IDF," which were deemed offensive. The BBC issued a warning about the language, and the set will not be available for rewatch on BBC iPlayer. Police are reviewing the comments for potential offenses, while Glastonbury Festival stated it does not condone hate speech or incitement to violence.
