British rappers banned from USA after inciting against IDF
The State Department announced Monday that it revoked visas for a British rap group after it called for the death of Israeli soldiers onstage over the weekend.It's stunning how only so many people in the entertainment industry won't keep their mouths shut and go miles out of their way to glamorize repulsive acts. But now, the band in the long run might've wound up doing the opposite of what they hoped for - to be exiled from a civilized country based on what they said.
Members of the Bob Vylan band no longer can travel to the U.S. “in light of their hateful tirade … including leading the crowd in death chants” at a Saturday music festival in the U.K., Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said in a Monday X post. The State Department’s action aligns with the Trump administration’s policy of renewed scrutiny of foreigners’ visas over alleged hostility toward American values or national security.
“Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Landau said. [...]
The band’s frontman, Pascal Robinson-Foster, led an audience in anti-Israel chants such as “death, death to the IDF” — referring to the Israel Defense Forces — at the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England on Saturday, the BBC reported.
The group’s performance sparked widespread backlash, and the festival said it was “appalled” in a Sunday statement.
