Wishing death upon a genocidal army is apparently worse than committing genocide
JVL Introduction
Bob Vylan really has upset the cheerleaders and gatekeepers of our political system.
Ricky of Council Estate Media is on fine form as he skewers politicians “who couldn’t condemn a genocide after 20 months so easily condemn a punk act for wishing death upon the genocidal army”.
Lisa Nandy and Andrew Neil are the first to be taken apart for their idiotic utterances. Lisa Nandy for claiming “chanting death to the IDF is equivalent to calling for the death of every single Israeli Jew”, Neil for describing “ how Glastonbury can morph from music concert to Nazi-style rally, more Nuremberg than Glasto”.
It’s unlikely they could even hear Vylan’s simple explanation that “We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs, or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine.”
A military machine whose members are not sparing in their use of such language as “Death to Arabs”…

Below a letter offered to the Guardian, with the predictable result: nix.
Chants initiated by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury have certainly triggered a tsunami of outrage. ‘The chants’ report led most BBC news programmes I heard/saw for at least two days; a post on X from the Chief rabbi describing the event as ‘vile Jew-hatred at Glastonbury’ a ‘national shame’; a criminal investigation launched over performances by both Bob Vylan and rap trio Kneecap; in Parliament, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy called the scenes broadcast “appalling and unacceptable”; Sir Keir believed “There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech”; Health Secretary Wes Streeting said Bob Vylan’s comments were “revolting”.
This attack on antisemitic is a smoke screen, for slaughtering Palestinian. We all love seeing our brothers sisters in JVL this crap about hate March’s is racist crap. 100,000s showing no racist support every religion, different races it’s revolting. Victory to Palestine 🇵🇸
