London – The BBC said that it regrets not reducing its live flow from a performance at the Glastonbury Music Festival during the weekend which included what the diffuser calls “totally unacceptable” songs against The army of Israel.
The BBC funded by taxpayers said in a statement on Monday that he regrets not having short his live streaming signal after the punk-rap duo Bob Vylan began to lead a song of “death, death at the FDI”, during their Saturday performance, referring to the defense forces of Israel.
“The BBC respects freedom of expression but firmly registers against incentive to violence”, statement The diffuser said. “The anti -Semitic feelings expressed by Bob Vylan were completely unacceptable and do not take place on our waves … The [BBC broadcasting] The team was dealing with a live situation, but with hindsight, we should have drawn the flow during the performance. We regret that this did not happen. “”

The BBC, which is the partner network of CBS News in the United Kingdom, quickly admitted that the language used on Saturday was “deeply offensive”, but the network was criticized – including by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the members of his cabinet – so as not to have reacted more quickly after the start of the song.
The organizers of the Glastonbury Festival also condemned the song in a press release, saying: “Their songs have crossed a line a lot and we are urgently recalled all the people involved in the production of the festival that there is no room in Glastonbury for anti -Semitism, hatred speech or incentive to violence.”
The reaction of the Trump administration seemed to be much more severe, with the deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau Say in an article on social networks On Monday, entry visas in the United States are already delivered to Bob Vylan members had been dismissed “in the light of their hateful tirade in Glastonbury, in particular by leading the crowd in the songs of death”.
The group’s website shows more than a dozen tour dates planned in the United States, from one ocean to another, from the end of October.
“Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Landau said in the position.
Sunday, Bob Vylan published a long declaration on their Instagram Page, with legend: “I said what I said.”
The duo, which uses scene names and keeps their anonymous identity, said that their message was addressed to the younger generations, who, according to them, should be shown how to fight for their own future.
“Let’s display them loudly and obviously the right thing to do when we want and we need to change,” said the group. “Let them see us walking in the streets, campaigning at ground level, organizing online and screaming on this subject on all the steps offered to us.”
Local police have launched an investigation into the songs to determine if criminal offenses may have been committed.
