GLASTONBURY: The recent Glastonbury music festival has sparked controversy over anti-Israel chants made by performers.

British punk-rap group Bob Vylan led crowds in the chanting of 'Death, death to the IDF,' referring to the Israeli Defense Forces' acronym, during their Saturday performance.

Additionally, Irish rap trio Kneecap, known for their criticism of Israel and its military actions against Hamas in Gaza, also faced scrutiny for their comments.

One member of the group was seen wearing a T-shirt supporting the Palestine Action Group, which is set to be banned under UK anti-terror laws.

The UK government has strongly condemned these chants, emphasizing that such sentiments have no place at Glastonbury.

Festival organizers stated that they are reminding everyone involved in the festival production about their stance against antisemitism, hate speech, and incitement to violence.

Police authorities are currently examining video evidence to determine if any offenses warrant criminal investigation.

The Israeli embassy in London expressed deep concern over the inflammatory rhetoric, while critics also pointed out the need for addressing Israeli citizens' violence towards Palestinians more seriously.

The incident has raised questions about how such content was broadcast on the BBC and whether appropriate measures were taken by festival organizers.
