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.
Israel is the terrorist
That does not make Hamas any less of an terrorist organization.
Is that case israel and the united states are also terrorists right?
I guess that depends on how you define terrorism. Some definitions require the actors to be individuals or subnational organizations - so the scale of Israel’s actions would make it something else. But other than that: yes.
Why do you ask? I haven’t seen anyone defending Israel’s actions (and the US support of it) in this thread, so I’m not sure how that adds to the discussion.
Any entity who target civilians for a political aim is considering terrorism .
Defending the idf is defending Israel. It’s the occupying force that implement Israel policies in Gaza and the west bank and are committing a genocide
