U.S. revokes visas for British band that chanted, 'Death, death to the IDF'
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)The U.S. State Department revoked visas to the United States for the British rap-punk duo Bob Vylan, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said Monday, after the group’s lead singer chanted, “Death, death to the IDF,” referring to the Israeli military, at a musical festival over the weekend.
"Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Landau said in a post on X. The rappers were scheduled to tour the U.S. in October and November, including a stop in D.C. on Nov. 9.
Pascal Robinson-Foster, who goes by the stage name Bobby Vylan and performs with his bandmate, Bobbie Vylan, made the remarks Saturday at the Glastonbury music festival in Somerset, England, an event famous for performers engaging in political activism.
