'“This is ACTUAL IDF chanting about burning Palestinian villages … but yeah, let’s talk about #BobVylan instead,” commented Nizar Mhani on X after the Glastonbury show, posting a video of IDF members singing and chanting “burn their villages!” Mhani is a British NHS consultant who has his own YouTube channel where he unravels Israeli propaganda about the Gaza genocide.'

Bob Vylan, Palestine Action etc - analysis from Archie Bland in Guardian
"It isn’t just that people are angry that the catastrophe in Gaza isn’t being given due attention: it is that their encounters with observable reality are being flatly denied. ...
"Those people have been told that Gaza protests are hate marches; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that US campus protesters are largely motivated by antisemitism; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation because it spray painted military aircraft; they can see it’s not true. They have been repeatedly told, by Benjamin Netanyahu, that opposition to Israel’s war is antisemitic; they can see it’s not true. They have been told that the British government finds Israel’s actions “intolerable”; they can see it’s not true.
"Now they are being told that opposing the IDF is antisemitic, that the Glastonbury crowd is more virulent than the one at Nuremberg, and that direct action is a form of terrorism. They can see all that’s not true, either, and however far their view is from the front pages, they know that they are far from alone."
