The BBC said on Monday that he should have drawn a live broadcast from the rap performance of the Bob Vylan duo at the Glastonbury festival, in which a group of music fans in songs calls for the “death” of the Israeli army.
The British sender called the “anti -Semitic” song, and the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that there is no excuse for such “terrifying hate speech.”
The BBC had a serious criticism over the transmission of the Punk Duet rap performance on Saturday, when the rapper Bobby Vylan led crowds to the largest festival of music music in the United Kingdom in the songs of “Free, Free Palestine” and “Death, death IDF”, Israeli defense forces.
The BBC said on Monday that “he respects freedom of expression, but he is definitely against inciting violence.”
“The anti -Semitic moods expressed by Bob Vylan were completely unacceptable and do not take place on our air waves,” he said.
Starmer said that the BBC must explain “how these scenes were broadcast.”
OfCom, the broadcast regulator, said that he was “very concerned” the BBC live broadcast and said that the sender “clearly has questions”.
The BBC said earlier in his defense that during the live broadcast he warned about “very strong and discriminatory language.”
The Israeli embassy to Great Britain said that at the weekend “he was deeply concerned about inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury festival.”
Bob Vylan, which was created in 2017, released four albums mixing punk, grime and other styles with texts that often solve problems, including racism, masculinity and politics. Both two members keep their real names in secret for privacy and undergo the scene of Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan.
In a statement published in social mediaThe singer Bobby Vylan said that he was flooded with messages of both support and hatred.
“Teaching our children to speak for a change they want and need is the only way to make this world a better place,” he wrote.
The police said they were aware of the files at the festival, and the officers would review video evidence to determine whether any crimes were committed.
The duo played on Saturday afternoon just before the Irish rap group Kneecap, another team that drew controversy regarding their attitude regarding politics in the Middle East.
One of its members was accused on the basis of the Terrorism Act for supporting the prohibited organization after he allegedly waved the Hezbollah flag at the concert.
Knecap led a huge crowd in the songs “Free Palestine” at the festival.
History was one of the 4000 that appeared before about 200,000 music fans this year at the Glastonbury festival in south -western England.
Israel met with a heavy international criticism for his war behavior in Gaza. In May, Great Britain, France and Canada issued a sharply formulated statement calling Israel to stop the “gross” military actions in Gaza and criticizing Israel's actions on the occupied west shore.
The war has lit tension around the world, causing pro-Palestinian protests in many capitals and university campuses. Israel and its supporters say that the protests are anti -Semitic, while critics claim that Israel uses such descriptions to silence opponents.
Over 6,000 people were killed and over 20,000 wounded in gas since the arms of the weapon between Israel and Hamas fell in March. Since the war in October 2023, from the Hamas attack, which killed 1,200 Israelis and took another 251 hostages, Israeli attacks killed over 56,000 people and hurt 132,000, according to the Ministry of Health Gaza.
He does not distinguish civilians from veterans, but said that women and children constitute over half of 56,000 of the dead. Israel claims that he is guided only by fighters and blames Hamas' civilian death, accusing the fighters of hiding among civilians because they act in populated areas.
