British police are investigating a Glastonbury Festival performance by rap-punk duo Bob Vylan, who led chants of "death to the IDF." The U.S. revoked their visas. The BBC, which livestreamed the performance, expressed regret and said the antisemitic sentiments were unacceptable. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other U.K. politicians condemned the chants as appalling hate speech. The incident sparked a criminal investigation and intense debate about freedom of expression versus incitement to violence, amid heightened tensions following the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
