Israeli embassy 'deeply disturbed' by Bob Vylan's 'death to the IDF' Glastonbury chant
The government and the Tories have condemned the outburst - which happened in front of thousands at the festival's West Holts Stage.
Kinda politics, kinda culture. Definitely both. Thoughts?
Aw did the mean words hurt them? Israel's actively ordering bombings of children and shootings of starving mothers. It's like saying "Death to the wehrmact"
While I agree that the chant might be a bit crass, I think it's his right to say it. He's saying the army and what it does is shit, and should suffer. I find it very discouraging that such a statement is called antisemitic. The way you frame it is exactly how I see it, it's death to the abusers, to the killers, the soldiers. It's about the violence committed by the army.
It would be as if The Andrew Sisters at a gig in 1943 shouted "Death to the wehrmacht", and people reacted with "well that's quite anti-german innit?". No it's not, it's anti Wehrmacht, just like his chant has something specifically to do with the IDF, not with Israelis.
no death to hamas chants?
I'm deeply disturbed by the genocide the IDF are perpetrating in Gaza.
Israeli embassy 'deeply disturbed'
Oh gosh, I am so sorry, nevermind.
You know what is deeply disturbing? Murdering and starving civilians, including children.
So far they have shot 14 people waiting for food today. including 3 children. this is just today, and so far.
Is this how the media would have reacted if you got on stage in the ‘40s and shouted death to Hitler?
Feel like civilians in this country are being held to higher standard for speech than a whole ass Country is being held to for its actions.
Ya but did you ever consider all the morals and values they taught the younger generations, (post boomers and most individuals who were positioned to benefit from the internet boom) was just another weapon used by capitalism? Things like the Golden Rule, protecting those weaker than ourselves, equality, love, etc were lessons those older than us had no intentions of following. They crushed their opponents and ensured no younger generation would ever be powerful enough to overthrow them.
Always have been
israeli embassy can fuck off and stop committing genocide
I am 'deeply disturbed' by nazionism.
I don't know anything about any of this, but I know the name Bob Vylan is just goddamn fantastic.
They're worth checking out, because they're fucking great.
We Live Here is incredible.
That was fucking fantastic.
the full (audio only) set is on yt :)
Israeli embassy: "hey don't shame butchering children, it is in our cultural traditions k?"
Someone should put a big mirror on an easel in front of the embassy. Nothing more, no explanation.
I left America because both major parties form a sinister coalition that is inimical to the interests of the electorate.
Joke's on me, I guess.
It's funny that the chud line is to question the loyalty of the festival goers, when they're going to bat for an organisation that murdered three British citizens last year.
Whilst I'll never agree with such chants, see the thing is whilst this embassy official might not give two shits about the amount of wanton death being inflicted by the IDF, others do.
Nazi German embassy is deeply upset by British Americans wanting to kill mazis
Aw poor baby
All religions want to spread their local hate globally. They claim that's a morally superior act. It is not.
We could be wrong, but we've never heard of say Buddhism or Paganism spreading hate.
