It has been truly incredible to see politicians who couldn't condemn a genocide after 20 months so easily condemn a punk act for wishing death upon the genocidal army. We have even seen a debate in parliament in which all of the politicians who are paid by Israel expressed their indignation at Bob Vylan.

The lesson we can learn from this is our politicians think it's worse to wish death upon the genocidal army than it is to commit genocide. We are told, rather preposterously, that wishing death upon the IDF is equivalent to wishing death upon all Israeli Jews by galaxy brains like Lisa Nandy and Andrew Neil. In other words, opposition to genocide is a call for genocide.

"Let me be clear that this government will not tolerate anti-Semitism," Lisa Nandy said, blissfully unaware she was being antisemitic. Andrew Neil was even more ridiculous in his words. Here is one of his rants on the subject:

"Some nonentity rapper shouts ‘death, death to the IDF’ from a Glastonbury stage. The audience of idiots repeat the refrain, again and again. It’s effectively a call for a second Holocaust because the IDF is all that stands between Israel and a second Holocaust. And the BBC broadcast it live. Which at least let us see with our own eyes how Glastonbury can morph from music concert to Nazi-style rally, more Nuremberg than Glasto."

Now I could easily pick apart Andrew Neil's words, but hilariously, someone asked ChatGPT to do it and the results were surprisingly spot on.

In short, even ChatGPT thinks Andrew Neil is a dick. Sadly, our country is controlled by people who think just like Andrew Neil. It's truly depressing.

Anyways, here is Bob Vylan in their own words:

You see how when they speak for themselves it's completely different to when others ventriloquise for them? When it comes to defending Israel, the first casualty is the truth and the second is the law.

Things are so ridiculous the High Court has allowed the government to supply F-35 parts to Israel, even though we have suspended other arms licences. The High Court said the government can selectively ignore international law for Israel because it is not the court's place to enforce the law. What do you even say to this?

It's fair to say the ruling class is wildly out of touch with public opinion on Israel and Gaza. Around 70% of western Europeans now have an unfavourable view of Israel and you can expect that number to grow. We are seeing our rulers lash out at music acts because they have lost control of the narrative. Their every action just reminds people that Israel's critics are right.

Bob Vylan are facing a criminal investigation, have had their US visa revoked, and have been dropped by their talent agency. It's interesting because I've never heard of an artist being dropped for criticising any other country, but I've heard of many being dropped for Israel. Come to think of it, Israel is the only country artists are not allowed to be critical of.

We keep hearing the magic word "antisemitism", but when you look at what they're calling antisemitic, none of it is about hating Jews for being Jewish. They are again trying to claim the words "free Palestine" and "from the river to the sea" are antisemitic. They are putting themselves forward as the good guys as though objecting to the liberation of a people could ever be a good thing.

This lot are so poisonous they have resorted to doxxing Bob Vylan and even his children. Who the fuck doxxes children? They have mocked Bob Vylan for being vegan, saying that's "not very gangsta", but I'm unaware of Bob Vylan ever claiming to be gangsta. This lot are so racist, they see dark skin and automatically assume gangsta is what you must aspire to be.

UKIP have announced they would deport Bob Vylan, even though singer Pascal Robinson-Foster has a white British mother. They apparently think dark skin means you can't be British. Isn't there a word for that?

One writer called not just for the jailing of Bob Vylan, but BBC director Tim Davie, arguing he intentionally chose to broadcast Bob Vylan's "antisemitic chant" . They drew the comparison to Lucy Connolly, completely missing the fact Connolly was jailed for inciting violence towards civilians that was carried out. Bit of a difference between that and supporting Palestine's legal right to self-defence.
