“Oct 7 2023”

Montreal Liberal MP Anthony Housefather is calling on the Canadian government to bar the British rap duo Bob Vylan from Canada after the group led the crowd in a chant of death to the Israeli military at the Glastonbury Festival in the United Kingdom over the weekend.

On Monday, the U.S. State Department said that it had “revoked the U.S. visas” of the band members who performed at the festival in southwest England on Saturday, ahead of several American tour dates in October and November. “Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Christopher Landau, the deputy secretary of state wrote on X.

Performative BS from an LPC member. They’ve lost the US Leg with many more dates than are scheduled for Canada. I doubt they’ll bother as it just isn’t economically viable.

As a lifelong student and educator, I’ve been in academia and the arts for the last quarter-century. I was a witness to the first Israeli Apartheid Weeks at York University in the early 2000s. I’ve followed, and fought, the anti-Israel obsession of CUPE 3903 (York University’s contract faculty union), including introducing a motion to stop them from manipulating their platform to promote non-labour issues on campus. It didn’t take.

Trump acts, our Pols allow messes like this to fester.

Last year the BBC won a Bafta for its Glastonbury coverage. This year it’s being attacked for it. Or, to be more precise, for one hour of it, two at the most, if you count Kneecap’s set, which followed Bob Vylan’s on the West Holts stage on Saturday afternoon.

I had arrived early to cover the Belfast rap trio’s performance, aware that the prime minister had said it shouldn’t go ahead, that the festival organisers had stood firm against political pressure, that one of the band’s members is on bail on a terror charge, which he denies, and that the BBC had announced that morning it wouldn’t stream the show live.

I have to admit, I hadn’t heard of Bob Vylan. But I don’t imagine many others had either. Of the millions who tuned in to the BBC’s coverage over the weekend, the live streamers of the Bob Vylan set would have likely been a tiny proportion.

How long until an anti-Zionist crowd turns on even “Jews for Palestine” types?

A British rock band have had their American visas revoked, meaning they can no longer tour in the US, after they shouted ‘death to the IDF’ at a festival on Saturday.

Bob Vylan led the sick chant at Glastonbury, the UK’s biggest music festival, as crowds waved Palestine flags and joined the call for the deaths of Israeli soldiers.

There is or was a Canadian leg to this tour I wonder if they’ll bother.

Bob Vylan at Glastonbury got the crowd to chant “death, death to the IDF”.

Adding “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Inshallah” at the end.

Completely unacceptable. Underneath the inclusivity facade, Glastonbury has become a hate fest. pic.twitter.com/URaMarlPJe

If you can’t see it now, you never will. The sight of tens of thousands of people at Glastonbury yesterday joining in a spirited chant of ‘Death, death to the IDF’ was the sight of us officially becoming a very different country, I fear. One in which anti-Israel hysteria has so flawlessly rehabilitated Jew hatred that it has become unthinking, conformist, almost mundane. Something that Home Counties idiots can jive to before adjusting their hot pants and heading off to catch Charli XCX. Something that is broadcast by the BBC into millions of homes. The banality of the new anti-Semitism.

BBC director : "Cut Kneecap, show someone else, use anyone."

BBC editor : "That Vylan guy?"

BBC director : "Anyone!"

… In a post on X on Saturday evening, Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe said while it was encouraging to see that the police investigation into the incident has progressed, he was “very disturbed to learn that the person charged is a city employee who was on leave. As a community and as an employer, the actions at the Monument do not represent our values.”

The Mayor’s statement implies the perp was already on leave. Bet mental health issues ahead.

Counter-terror police investigating an incident at RAF Brize Norton have arrested four people.

A woman, 29, of no fixed abode and two men, aged 36 and 24 from London, were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, contrary to Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

Another woman, 41, of no fixed abode, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Palestine Action was just declared a terror group but I doubt the Brits will come down too hard on those arrested.

Palestine Action activists have clashed with police in ugly scenes during a mass protest in London as the Government moves to proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation.

Hundreds of protesters waving Palestinian flags and holding placards gathered at Trafalgar Square today as the group’s leaders called for an ’emergency mobilisation’ in response to the Government’s plans.

'Police are moving in to make at least two arrests.'

I see that Ash Sarkar is very vocal about Palestine Action at the moment. Well here she is in all of her true colours, gloating over the reducing number of white people living in London.
Vile, absolutely vile.
