Police probe anti-Israel comments at music fest
LONDON >> British police said they were examining videos of a band that led chants of “death to the IDF” — Israel Defense Forces — at Saturday’s Glastonbury Festival.
Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds attending the festival in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF.”
Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers “to determine whether any offenses may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.”
The Israeli Embassy to the U.K. said on social media that it was “deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival.”
