Bob Vylan Speaks Out Amid Glastonbury Outrage: ‘We Are Not for the Death of Jews… We Are for the Dismantling of a Violent Military Machine’

Bob Vylan has responded to the uproar over its “death to the IDF” comments at the Glastonbury festival with a statement that doubles down on the artist’s pro-Palestinian position, albeit with less inflamed language and more explanatory context than was found in their concert chant. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau posted on X: “The @StateDept has revoked the U.S. visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants.
