At the Glastonbury music festival in Britain, antisemitic slogans were chanted and Palestinian flags were waved in a clear anti-Israel demonstration.
It’s worth reminding them that 632 days ago, there was also a music festival in Israel where many young people went to dance and have fun - only that festival ended with them being slaughtered, brutally murdered, raped, and kidnapped by the same terrorists who did that in the name of the flag Glastonbury festivalgoers were waving.
Did you shout "Free Palestine" yesterday? Glastonbury needs to be freed from the terror supporters who came there to spread their poison and antisemitism!!!
This is Inbar Heiman. She could easily be at @glastonbury right now. But she was at Nova when monsters came and chased her down on motorbikes, murdered and dragged her to Gaza. She’s STILL there. Today those who support her killers are welcomed to applause. The world is MAD.
Less than two years ago, young people at a music festival were abducted, raped and murdered. Corpses were paraded as trophies to be mocked and violated by #Palestinian 'civilians' in #Gaza.
If you have a TV licence, think about what you're funding.

The problem isn’t solely the racist idiot who made a racist chant.
It’s the 1000s of people who chanted along for the murder of Jews.
It’s the entire culture that emboldens him and them to revel in such hate, and even believe they’ll be celebrated for it.
It’s the culture that celebrates them for it.
It’s those who defend ethnic hate under the guise of social justice.
It’s the promotor who booked him.
It’s the BBC employees who made the conscious decision to still broadcast it, and their internal culture that enabled it.
It’s the criminal justice system that most likely won’t hold anyone accountable, but is so quick to punish those for similar offences when Jews aren’t the target.
It’s the crossing of a line, where Westerners ever more blatantly call for the mass murder of Jews. That path usually only goes in one direction.
“Death to the IDF.”
Now in the UK, the chants are indistinguishable from the chants in Tehran, broadcast by our state broadcaster.
Under Emily Eavis, Glastonbury has continued its headlong descent into a pit of extremism and hatred, but it is the behaviour of the BBC that is even more dangerous.
We are formally complaining to the BBC over its outrageous decision not only to broadcast Bob Vylan’s calls for death and destruction, but also to place that segment on iPlayer along with Kneecap’s performance.
Any artist claiming to be a humanitarian should be steering clear of Glastonbury, but more importantly our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions.
That must inevitably include Tim Davie, the BBC’s Director-General, who has had more than enough chances to stop this abuse of licence fee payers’ money to platform bigots and extremists from Gaza to Glastonbury.
If this is not met with the firmest condemnation and recourse, then it is the surest sign yet that Britain is becoming a haven for hatred and unsafe for Jews.
@Keir_Starmer Diplomacy? Is there such a thing with an evil regime? You didn’t really know what to say did you @Keir_Starmer but thought you had to say something I guess.
Mission accomplished! We got all 9 pounds of aid in! Now for the awkward @ELALUSA flight home. Which movie should @GretaThunberg and I watch on the plane?
@PhilipProudfoot Are you pathologically incapable of demanding #terrorists surrender and for #hostages be released? Shame world hasn’t screamed for that since 8/10 - all this would be over.
