Rap duo Bob Vylan's anti-Israel chants prompt UK police to review Glastonbury acts


British police said they were examining videos of a band that led chants of "death to the IDF" at the Glastonbury Festival.

Avon and Somerset Police said that it was aware of comments made by acts at the festival, and said officers will review video evidence "to determine whether any offenses may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation." The minister referred to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and "the fact that Israeli settler terrorists attacked a Christian village this week, setting it on fire," and urged Israel to "get your own house in order." Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged under the Terrorism Act with supporting a proscribed organization for allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London in November.
