United States revokes Bob Vylan

London – The BBC has said that it regrets its live broadcast of a performance at the Glastonbury Music Festival during the weekend that included what the station calls “completely unacceptable” Cantles against Israel’s military.

The BBC financed by taxpayers said in a statement on Monday that he regrets not to shorten its live broadcast signal after the punk-rap vylan duo began to lead a song of “death, death to the IDF”, during their performance on Saturday, referring to Israel’s defense forces.

“The BBC respects freedom of expression, but firmly stands out against violence incitement,” said the station’s statement. “The anti -Semitic feelings expressed by Bob Vylan were completely unacceptable and do not take place in our waves … [BBC broadcasting] The team was dealing with a live situation, but with retrospect we should have taken the current during the presentation. We regret that this has not happened. “

The BBC, which is the News themezone network in the United Kingdom, quickly recognized that the language used on Saturday was “deeply offensive”, but the network was criticized, even by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the members of his cabinet, for not reacting faster after the song began.

The organizers of the Glastonbury Festival also condemned the song in a statement, saying: “Their songs crossed a line and urgently remember all those involved in the production of the festival that there is no place in Glastonbury for anti -Semitism, hate discourse or incitement to violence.”

The Trump administration reaction seemed to be significantly harder, and the Undersecretary of State of State, Christopher Landau, said Monday in a position on social networks that the US visas already issued to Bob Vylan members had been revoked “in the light of his hateful diatribe in Glastonbury, including the crowd in death chambers.”

The band’s website shows more than a dozen scheduled tour dates in the United States, from coast to coast, from the end of October.

“Foreigners who glorify violence and hate are not welcome to visitors to our country,” Landau said in the post.

On Sunday, Bob Vylan published a long statement on his Instagram page, with the legend: “I said what I said.”

The duo, which uses the scenic names and maintains its anonymous identities, said that his message was aimed at younger generations, who were told that they should be shown how to fight for their own future.

“We are going to show you aloud and visibly the right thing when we want and need changes,” the band said. “Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning at ground level, organizing online and shouting about each and every one of the stages they offer us.”

The local police have launched an investigation into songs to determine if criminal crimes have been committed.

Glastonbury is a five -day music festival that takes place on a farm in southwest England. It is one of the largest music festivals anywhere in the world, attracting more than 200,000 headlines, and it is usually held every two years, since the organizers give time to the farm fields to recover from the impact of so many Juerguistas. The event is organized and organized by the Eavis family, which still has the farm, and has been operating for about 55 years.

Bob Vylan’s performance preceded that of the Northern Ireland Kneecap, whose BBC set was not broadcast live due to previous instances in the group’s concerts that involve alleged comments that support Hamas and Hezbollah and Asking for the death of the legislators of the Conservative Party.

Kneecap members have insisted that “they have not supported, and have never supported Hamas or Hezbollah.”

They sent “Sincere apologies“To the families of two British legislators who were killed in recent years after their comments on conservative parliamentarians.
