The Glastonbury Festival, one of the world's foremost annual gatherings for live music, was marred yesterday by anti-Semitic hate.
Amid a sea of Palestinian flags, the audience chanted "Death to the IDF" at the urging of Bobby Vylan who later added, “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be free” while uttering the phrase "fucking Zionists." When he said Zionists, he meant Jews. And when he said Palestine must be free, he meant Jews must be killed. The anti-Semitism continued with the Irish group Kneecap who have in the past praised both Hamas and Hezbollah during their concerts.
Let's think about this for a moment. On October 7, 2023, Hamas began its attack by killing 378 concertgoers at the Nova Music Festival while taking 44 people hostage - a majority of whom were subsequently killed.
But instead of expressing sorrow for their fellow music lovers, Bob Vylan, Kneecap and the Glastonbury audience which chanted "Death to the IDF" are rooting for Hamas.
To them, Jews are a subhuman people who deserve death. Of course, the Nazis thought this of Jews as well. There's really no difference between "Free Palestine" and "Sieg Heil".
