Streeting condemns anti-IDF chants at Glastonbury but says ‘Israel should get its own house in order’
Health secretary also says Israel needs to ‘get its own house in order’ while condemning chants led by Bobby Vylan
Streeting said what people should be talking about in the context of Israel and Gaza is the humanitarian catastrophe in the territory and the fact that Israeli settlers attacked a Christian village in the West Bank this week. On Saturday the rapper Bobby Vylan, of the rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds at the festival’s West Holts stage in chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]”, before a member of the Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans “start a riot” outside his bandmate’s upcoming court appearance during their set on the same stage later in the afternoon. The Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence for holding a Hezbollah flag at a London gig last November.
