Bob Vylan Loses US Visas, Faces Global Backlash

News summary

British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan have had their US visas revoked and were dropped by their talent agency after leading chants of 'death to the IDF' during a Glastonbury Festival performance, an act widely condemned as antisemitic and incitement to violence. US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau confirmed the visa revocation, citing a policy against admitting foreigners who glorify violence and hatred. The BBC, which livestreamed the performance, expressed regret for not cutting the feed and is reviewing its live event guidelines after criticism from Prime Minister Keir Starmer and media regulator Ofcom. Glastonbury organizers and the Israeli Embassy in the UK also condemned the remarks. Avon and Somerset Police have launched an investigation to determine if any crimes were committed. The incident has reignited debate over antisemitism, hate speech, and media responsibility.
