LONDON — The BBC and the annual Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts have come under criticism from the British prime minister and broadcasting regulator after a punk-rap band led chants against the Israeli military during a festival performance which was broadcast live on Saturday afternoon.


British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan is now under a criminal investigation in the U.K. after its lead singer, whose stage name is Bobby Vylan (real name Pascal Robinson-Foster), led chants of "Death, death to the IDF" — referring to the Israeli military — during a Glastonbury set.


The performance was streamed live by the BBC on its iPlayer service. Within seconds, the broadcaster added an on-screen warning for viewers about "very strong and discriminatory" language.

 
Free Minds are increasingly hammered in the collapsing West, which at this point has betrayed almost all of its core values.
