Bob Vylan, the London punk-rap duo whose members go by Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan, were at the center of controversy last summer after leading a “Death to the IDF!” chant at the UK’s premier music festival, Glastonbury, in protest of Israel’s genocidal war crimes in Palestine. At the time, the BBC, which livestreamed the festival, described the chant as “deeply offensive” and refused to make Bob Vylan’s set viewable on demand.
The BBC have attempted to silence those that oppose the heinous crimes taking place in Palestine, instead labelling them as anti-semitic, editing their speeches, removing their content and even blocking the release of documentaries that challenge the desired narrative of The BBC and its top brass.
These responses are unacceptable. So seeing the opportunity to remind them the power of the people that they are attempting to silence, we had no choice but to take on this fight. In fact, we take great pleasure in serving them that reminder in court.
