This is a time of national shame. The airing of vile Jew-hatred at Glastonbury and the BBC’s belated and mishandled response, brings confidence in our national broadcaster’s ability to treat antisemitism seriously to a new low.

It should trouble all decent people that now, one need only couch their outright incitement to violence and hatred as edgy political commentary, for ordinary people to not only fail to see it for what it is, but also to cheer it, chant it and celebrate it.

Toxic Jew-hatred is a threat to our entire society.

The only 'shame' is that anybody still takes this lying f*wit seriously. Schooled in the comments apart from a few muppets clutching their pearls. Especially liked the bolded one:

Calling out the actions of the IDF has nothing to do with hatred toward Jews. But the way you conflate the two, while remaining silent on the killing of civilians, fuels the very tensions you claim to oppose.

Rod Limey @rodthelimey
Vylan's hate for genocide isn't "vile antisemitism."
But this is vile philosemitism:

Such vile chants at #Glastonbury.
Oh wait, it is just Israel minister and IDF chanting "death to Arabs" and "may your village burn".

HAHAHAHAH f.offff ZIO

I thought the singer’s comments about the record label exec were disgraceful and capable of being interpreted as antisemitic. The comments about the IDF were also out of order. However, please do not make the basic mistake of conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Some of it is, some of it isn’t.

Torah Jews @TorahJews
While we will never condone violent chants, you wouldn't seriously entertain the flimsy idea that the IDF is some sort of representation of Jews?
That would be entirely unbecoming for a Rabbi of any stature.

Kosher🎗 @koshercockney
Thank you Rabbi. Calling for the death of the only army that stands between 7 million Jews and a second Holocaust. Just cannot believe what we are seeing happen to the world

JAWAD @thewu36
"Death to the IDF" is not “Jew-hatred.” It’s fury—fury at a foreign military machine that’s reduced Gaza to rubble, that’s turned water into a weapon, and children into statistics. The IDF isn’t Judaism. And criticising a uniform soaked in Genocide is not the same as hating a people.

This isn’t about safety. It’s about control. You want silence dressed as civility. You want rage rebranded as bigotry so you can keep washing British complicity in clean, polite language.

But Glastonbury wasn’t confused. The crowd knew exactly what they were chanting.

When the boots are on the necks of the oppressed, who’s truly dangerous: the one shouting back, or the one demanding silence?

Mythical Ploughman @mythPloughman
No one is obligated to like a foreign army. The IDF is no exception.

Yousef Ibrahim يوسف إبراهيم @yousefiaa
Excuse me. I’m the Chief Rabbi. Apartheid Israel and its ongoing Holocaust of starved civilians (mainly women and children) is the global shame here. Not a musician’s catchy chants. Bousha!!!

Rod Limey @rodthelimey
Hating random Jews is "vile," but hating the self-confessed genocidaires of the IDF, AND its defenders, is normal.

Natasha San @pinkindiana
And then they chanted. ‘To the river…sea’. That is pure antisemitism and all reports are leaving this out! I wish all reports would tell the whole story.

Waleed Georges Abu-Nassar @WaleedAbuNassar
Where exactly did these performers call for the hatred of Jews?
You are a bigot at best Mr Rabbi

Paul Rimmer @PDRNHPUK
We should hate Evil. If the Jews are performing or pushing evil acts they should be called out & punished.

Anonymousoneonx @anonymousoneonx
Fuck you! You’re a current threat to society and the genocidal IDF

feersum endjinn @EndjinnFeersum
No, genocidal zionists are a global menace. We see you. I remember you targeting Corbyn on Radio 4 on the day before the general election. You are a threat to democracy and humanity.
