The UK's chief rabbi has strongly criticised "the airing of vile Jew-hate at Glastonbury" after a live broadcast of Bob Vylan's performance at the festival went out on the BBC, during which the band's singer led the crowd in chants of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]".

The BBC has issued a formal apology and announced it will no longer be live-streaming “high-risk” music acts after punk rap duo Bob Vylan’s controversial Glastonbury Festival performance on Saturday (June 28).

We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story,” Bobby and Bobbie Vylan say.

Members of the British punk band Bob Vylan have had their U.S. visas revoked by the State Department after leading thousands of concert-goers in chanting “Death, death to the IDF” last weekend at the Glastonbury music festival in England.
