Bob Vylan Share Dichiarazione dopo che Glastonbury Boss chiama le osservazioni sul palco “spaventose”

Damn, he should of just said “Starve and bomb people to death and then shoot them when they go to get food from the aid station” then it would of been a-ok. Rookie mistake.

Why are comments objecting to a genocidal foreign military more controversial than entire songs about the population of the country he’s performing in?

Honestly, its annoyed me this. Glastonbury has always been about the politics of peace; a place that has told us that more unites us than divides us and that there is always a non-violent solution. To underline this, they painted a fucking massive peace sign on the grass in front of the pyramid stage.

We had peace makers from Israel and Palestine give a joint talk on finding peace for the region; hearing their lived experience was incredibly powerful and is what the festival is about.

Yet all that is being overshadowed by this crap.

I’m an oldie I remember when Glasto was called the Glastonbury CND Festival and in later years it was linked with Greenpeace.

The festival was anti-war, anti-violence, you could say pacifist, shouting “free Palestine” or “stop the bombings” is 100% appropriate. Shouting “death to the IDF” is totally and utterly against that Glastonbury ethos (something like “fuck the IDF”).

To me this could be the ‘horse shoe theory’ moment for the left, the left that quite happily polices the words people use (something I agree with) suddenly becomes all ‘freedom of speech’ when it involves people they don’t like. In otherwords the far-left and far-right have become the same “freedom of speech for what I support, controls on what I don’t support”.

The crazier thing is that Bob Vylan and Kneecap have been getting far more backlash for their political chants at Glastonbury than Donald Trump got for literally sharing an AI-generated video on his socials showing his vision of [annexing and transforming Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PslOp883rfI)

I’m sorry but I don’t think anything could be more offensive to a Palestinian than that video, especially the part where the architect of your genocide (yes, the ongoing military operation there is one) is sunbathing with Trump on your lands with a daiquiri in hand.

So where are the comments from Keir Starmer condemning Trump’s comments? Or does he get a free pass because we’re kinda desperate for a trade deal and Starmer doesn’t have the vertebrae to bring us back to the EU’s common market?

BBC have called his remarks anti-semitic. Am I taking crazy pills? Wtf?

I’d be taking the BBC to court over that.
