BBC regrets not stopping Glastonbury 'Death to the IDF' livestream

[Beastly Boy]

Britain’s BBC said it regretted not stopping the livestream of punk-rap duo Bob Vylan’s set at Glastonbury after the performance included chants against the Israeli military, drawing condemnation from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The BBC has come under fire for allowing the performance to be shown live on Saturday as a Bob Vylan member led the crowd in chanting “Death, death to the IDF,” a reference to the Israel Defense Forces, following chants of “Free, free Palestine.”

The BBC, which broadcasts the festival in southwest England, issued a warning on screen while the set was being streamed online, but said on Monday it should have gone further.

The comments were “utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves,” the national broadcaster said in a statement."

3. Not trying to be critical, but I cannot find humor in a parody of the mastermind of the October 7 massacre.

4. It's an Israeli show

If Israel’s means of coping with the horrors of 10/7 is with dark humor who are we to judge?

5. I am just stating my view that I can't find any humor regarding the scum Sinwar, especially with all the

antisemitism that has been directed at Jews after October 7, and OP's reporting of Bob Vylan's antisemitic concert rally.

I am not criticizing anyone's coping mechanisms.

2. The UTA, (United Talent Agency), quickly dropped him after his hate laced performance, because that is

exactly what it was. I wonder how many antisemitic attacks he will have generated with his crap.

The idiot also also trashed his boss along with his hate filled rhetoric"

" Vylan’s set on Saturday has made front-page newspaper news in the UK after Bobby Vylan chanted “death to the IDF” and complained about working for a “f***ing Zionist.”

Vylan also platformed the controversial slogan, “from the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, free,” during the West Holts stage set, streamed live on the BBC. "

These idiots don't even know what Zionism is, and have distorted for their own racist purposes.
