The government has “strongly condemned” chants at Glastonbury Festival from rap punk duo Bob Vylan calling for “death” to the Israeli military and broadcast live on the BBC.
Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]” during their set, which came just before Belfast rap trio Kneecap.
A BBC spokesperson said some of the comments were “deeply offensive”, adding it had issued a warning on screen about “very strong and discriminatory language”. The set will not be available to rewatch on BBC iPlayer.
Police said they were reviewing videos of comments made by Bob Vylan and Kneecap to decide whether any offences had been committed.
Ah, good old New Labour, siding with the modern day Nazis committing their very own Holocaust in Gaza.
The UK is almost as fucked up as the US.
(Though, judging by the march of 600k people against the Genocide, most Brits are not, and it’s the power and money elites that, as usual, can’t stop themselves from loving the most violent Fascism and Fascists same as when a young princess Elizabeth was being taught by her uncle and then King how to do a Nazi salute - the whole ubermenschen vs untermenshen view of the World seems to have massive appeal amongst British elites).
Far more. Starmer is a ponce and a WEF puppet.
Comparing Israel to Nazi-Germany is antisemitic and comparing the war crimes in Gaza to the Holocaust is at least Holocaust minimization.
Also criticizing people for supporting islamistic terrorists like Hamas or Hezbollah doesn’t imply support for Israel.
It’s not anti-Semitic to simply state reality.
Israel is a fascist apartheid state that is currently carrying out ethnic cleansing. I think it’s rather fitting.
Israel is a democracy with a far-right government, not fascism. Even though the situation in the Westbank might be similar to Apartheid. Nazi-Germany executed an industrial murder of over 6 million Jews, this is not the same!
Sorry no. You can’t be an apartheid state and call yourself a democracy. That’s not how words work.
Sure, there is democracy in Israel, but it is more similar to the one that existed among whites in apartheid South Africa than it is to the democracy that currently exists in the United Kingdom or France.
UNICEF has reported more than 50,000 children have been killed or injured in Gaza. At what number do you become comfortable with the comparison? 1 million? 2 million?
In terms of being accurate with our history, dont forget that 17 million people died in those camps, not just 6 million jewish people. In the movies its always solely jewish people being murdered. Russian citizens, soldier, catholics, gypsies, gays, disabled. we never talk about that extra 12 million dead, and each of those lives was as precious as your own life, or any other humans life. The takeaway from that should be that no genocide will ever be allowed again, of any race or any people. That obviously includes Palestinians and Muslims.
What do you think datadroplet, do you agree?
Don’t forget the millions of Poles
Dang. Good call, yes.
I no longer subscribe to people telling me what is and what is not antisemitic. I’ll use my own brain for that, thanks.
We’ve seen too much abuse of the word palestine and crybullying from zionists to let that language be defined by you lot anymore. Hey did you see this one? The very word “Palestine” is itself a “genocide” against the zionists.

I think the fact that you zionists wrung the holocaust for all the marketing value it was worth in order to commit your own gencocide on innocents is disgusting and wildly criminal. You belong in prison.
Only a rabid racist would - through claiming that anything critical said about that nation is anti-semitism - imply that a nation station state whose actions approach those of the Nazis in their depravity represents all the Jewish People.
It’s hard to be more anti-semite than conflation a nation mass murdering children with the Jewish People as a whole.
