Government condemns Glastonbury chants aired live on BBC

tomorrow's headlines: bbc bars publication of details of cancer treatment.

such information, they say, is deeply offensive to the horrendous disease regardless of how many young, innocent victims it claims.

80k dead and 130k injured, starvation, displacement, murdered by settlers.

But a chant is "deeply offensive". Take your fucking offense, fold it until it's all sharp corners and shove it up your ass, BBC.

BBC radio14: all IDF all the time

Up next, with your host, MCBiBi, the soothing sounds of 80,000 dead kids, children burnt alive, exploding under million dollar missiles, and everyone's favourite summer hit, already starving to death and being shot in the head in an ambushed food supply delivery.

"Death to the IDF" is not what I would chant, but it's honestly mild compared to the kinds of slogans (eg. "Death to Arabs" and "Let your village burn") West-funded, West-supported, West-armed, and West-protected-from-accountability Israeli fanatics chant before committing actual fucking atrocities. Hell, it's mild compared to the Amalek rhetoric of Israeli state leadership.

Edit: why is "death to the IDF" mild compared to "death to Arabs"? You can choose to not join or to leave the IDF (it might cost you some jail time, but if that's the price for keeping one's soul, so be it). You can at the very least not self-identify with it and distance yourself from what it has become. Basically, there are many off ramps out of the IDF. There are no ramps off of existing as an Arab.

If politicians won't represent the public you can still count on artists

Ah, good old New Labour, siding with the modern day Nazis committing their very own Holocaust in Gaza.

The UK is almost as fucked up as the US.

(Though, judging by the march of 600k people against the Genocide, most Brits are not, and it's the power and money elites that, as usual, can't stop themselves from loving the most violent Fascism and Fascists same as when a young princess Elizabeth was being taught by her uncle and then King how to do a Nazi salute - the whole ubermenschen vs untermenshen view of the World seems to have massive appeal amongst British elites).

Just chiming in with some lyrics from the great musician, Tim Minchin

And if you look into your motherfucking heart and tell me true

If this motherfucking stupid fucking song offended you

With its filthy fucking language and its fucking disrespect

If it made you feel angry, go ahead and write a letter

But if you find me more offensive than the fucking possibility

The pope protected priests when they were getting fucking fiddly The IDF shot civilians when they were getting hungry

Then listen to me, motherfucker, this here is a fact:

You are just as morally misguided as that motherfucking

Power-hungry, self-aggrandised bigot in the stupid fucking hat Israeli government

Fuck the IDF, and fuck every single piece of shit making excuses for murdering civilians for the unholy crime of being born somewhere.

Any negative statements toward Isreal are considered antisemitism by the right. What a joke

Death! Death to the IDF!! 🎶

May this chant be inscribed upon all our hearts. 💕

UK and US thought police on patrol. Bought and owned by the rich fatcats to promote their personal religious agenda using the state monopoly of the use of force on protestors not doing any harm to anyone. Disgusting.

Of course, everybody knows that “free, free Palestine” is “very strong and discriminatory language” if you are member of genocidal IDF.

💀💀2IDF

FUCK THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCE

IDF are a bunch of genocidal terrorist fascist fucks

Death! Death to the IDF!! 🎶

May this chant be inscribed upon all our hearts. 💕

These idiots also chanted "up Hamas, up Hezbollah". How stupid do you habe to be to publicly support terrorism? This is not helping the Palestinian cause.

BBC is a bunch of smegheads from the past.

"I don't give a fuck if you speak on my name. Just make sure when you fucking speak on it, you speak it in capitals V-Y-L-A-N"

Starmer, fall on a stake.

The set will not be available to rewatch on BBC iPlayer.

Oh, whoops. Here you go:

I support it because I'm with "The People."

For some balance: the UK hate speech laws despite what the daily mail push have been applied relatively evenly with the intent of preventing violence which has been a problem in the UK in several cases where innocents were unfairly targeted then attacked.

I'm not really one way or the other regarding the BBC decision, I can see it both ways and the footage will be out there regardless of their choice. I personally support the message being free speech and for the public to make their judgement.

Re the police reviewing it. This can often happen with high profile stuff even if it's to officially class it as free speech, so no one can say it was ignored and the were discriminated against. However if the police find it to be anything other than free speech based on current events, I would find that highly concerning. He didn't say death to Jews, or Israel, it was specific to the IDF.

You can come a complaint of inaccuracy on the BBC website. If you have the time to do so, do so. Stating they were antisemitic is slander and misinformed.

What "Death to IDF" looks like in real life: violence against Jews.
