Bob Vylan calls out UK, US, Israel over Gaza at Glastonbury

Описание: "Because sometimes you've got to get your message across with violence because that is the only language that some people speak, unfortunately."

Punk duo Bob Vylan used their Glastonbury set to deliver a powerful message against the genocide in Gaza, declaring that they're not pacifist punks.

Lead singer Bobby called out the UK and US for being “complicit in war crimes” and condemned the backlash faced by artists who speak up for Palestine.

The band dedicated tracks to artists like Murder Capital, Kneecap, and Amyl and the Sniffers for standing in solidarity with Palestinians.

It was a striking moment of defiance on the BBC stage, met with loud cheers from the crowd.
