British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said he was appalled by on-stage chanting against the Israeli military by punk-rap duo Bob Vylan during their performance at the Glastonbury festival.
During their show on June 29, the band’s singer, Bobby Vylan, chanted “Death, death, to the IDF,” in reference to the Israel Defense Forces, while on stage in front of 200,000 people at the festival, which was held in Somerset, England, and is one of the world’s largest music events.
