London, Jun 30 (AP) The BBC says it should have pulled a livestream of rap group Bob Vylan’s performance at Glastonbury Festival over “antisemitic” chants against Israeli troops.
The British broadcaster has come under heavy criticism for broadcasting the rap punk duo’s performance Saturday, when rapper Bobby Vylan led crowds attending the UK’s largest summer music festival in chants of “free, free Palestine” and “death, death to the IDF”, the Israel Defence Forces.
The BBC said on Monday that it “respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence”.
“The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves,” it said. (AP) PY PY
