The Spin

Right narrative

Glastonbury’s stage became a megaphone for hatred when Bob Vylan bellowed “Death to the IDF.” This targeted the world’s only Jewish army and, therefore, Jewish safety itself. Free speech ends where incitement begins; the law must answer. Robinson‑Foster should stand in court and learn that the U.K. will not excuse genocidal rhetoric.

Left narrative

Bob Vylan’s “Death to the IDF” cry is a raw, rhetorical cry against an army that he believes slaughters children and razes hospitals in Gaza. His call condemns state violence, not a people, and demands that Britain stop arming oppression, teaching the next generation to raise its voice until foreign policy is cleansed of complicity.
