From Breitbart: The State Department is reportedly looking to revoke the visas for British rap punk rock duo Bobby Vylan after one of them chanted “death to IDF” as well as “Free Palestine” at a U.K. music festival.
As Breitbart News reported over the weekend, one half of the rap-rock duo, who goes by the stage name Bobby Vylan, “led the Glastonbury crowd in chants of ‘death, death to the IDF’ (Israel Defense Forces) and ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ which denotes the elimination of the state of Israel and presumably the people there in.”
“Responding to the performance, which was aired nationwide on the BBC public broadcaster, the Israeli Embassy in the United Kingdom said that it was ‘deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival,’” it added.
Vylan’s vile chant led to massive outrage on social media.

It’s official: U.S. State Department Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau announced on X Monday morning: “The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants. Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”

Vylan was previously scheduled to tour 20 U.S. cities, including NYC, LA, Boston, and DC. Now that has all gone up in smoke.
Vylan gets more bad news: Monday morning, Sky News reported that Bob Vylan has been dropped by United Talent Agency after their Glastonbury performance.
