    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.

      tomorrow's headlines: bbc bars publication of details of cancer treatment.

      such information, they say, is deeply offensive to the horrendous disease regardless of how many young, innocent victims it claims.

            BBC radio14: all IDF all the time

            Up next, with your host, MCBiBi, the soothing sounds of 80,000 dead kids, children burnt alive, exploding under million dollar missiles, and everyone's favourite summer hit, already starving to death and being shot in the head in an ambushed food supply delivery.

                So, are governments everywhere held by the balls by Zionist bankers? It can't just be a collective guild trip.

                  Genocidal zionazis murdering tens of thousands of unarmed men women and children are more what I'd be concerned about affecting the Palestinian cause than artists trying to stand for something they believe in.

                  Also, Hamas is not terrorism, it's a symptom of an oppressive terrorist colonial regime wantonly subjucating a people. They're the equivalent of the rebel resistance in star wars.

                      If Zionists had any real leverage they could use to control states Spain and Ireland (and to a lesser extent France under Macron) wouldn't be outspoken advocates for Palestinian rights. The guilt trip is definitely part of it, but also don't underestimate the scale or pervasiveness of Israeli propaganda. I mean, unless you're exceptionally educated on Palestinian history at least half the things you believe about the so-called conflict are probably Israeli propaganda., irrespective of what you feel about Israel. I hate to admit it, but they are good at this stuff. Their major Western ally status gained during the Cold War is also not helping.

                        I get what you're trying to say, but Hamas is not just a resistance organization; they're an oppressive terrorist regime on their own right. If not for Israeli aggression they'd have been overthrown three times over.

                          With the way the leader of Israel was killing journalists. It really did make the Jews control the media conspiracy, actually true, pretty funny if you think about it. But yes, that statement did have the airs of racism

                              Netanyahu actively encouraged the growth of them. What the fuck are you talking about you to weirdo, he loves them because they keep them in power because they’re a convenient enemy.

                                      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.

                                          I mean yes, when did I say otherwise? Israel is at fault for creating this terrible situation, and the people exploiting that situation for their own gain at the expense of Palestinians are also at fault. These two things can be true at the same time.
