The Hamas-led atrocities against Israelis on October 7 2023 threw down a challenge to the west. Did it support civilisation or barbarism? On Saturday, the Glastonbury festival provided an unambiguous answer. It turned itself into a death cult.
A rap duo called Bob Vylan shouted “Death to the IDF” and then:
Hell, yeah, from the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, inshallah, free.
The crowd of several thousands, many waving Palestine flags, roared their approval and took up the chants “Death to the IDF and “Free Palestine from the river to the sea”. They also chanted:
I heard you want your country back? Shut the f*ck up (you can’t have that).
Punchline: When you hear Bob Vylan’s real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster
Sorry Pascal, someone should have explained the new rules.






He reported live last month and his dispatches have included reports from the Nuseirat refugee camp in June last year, after an Israeli military operation to rescue four hostages, held by Hamas, led to hundreds of Palestinian deaths.
