Bob Vylan on 'death, death to the IDF' chant: 'I'd do it again tomorrow, twice on Sundays'

Bob Vylan's frontman has defended his controversial chant at Glastonbury, stating he does not regret saying 'death, death to the IDF' and would repeat it. The performance sparked widespread criticism, including condemnation from political leaders and the United States, which revoked the band's visas. Several festivals have since cancelled their appearances, but Vylan insists the backlash is minor compared to the suffering in Palestine, emphasizing his solidarity with those affected. He also questioned the disproportionate response to the chant and rejected claims that it contributed to a rise in antisemitic incidents, maintaining that his intent was to highlight the plight of Palestinians.
