Description:

UK police have launched a criminal investigation into performances by rap groups Kneecap and Bob Vylan at Glastonbury festival following anti‑Israel chants led by the groups. Punk‑rap group Bob Vylan led crowds in chants of "Death to the IDF", while Irish rap trio Kneecap, known for its pro‑Palestinian stance, also led crowds in chanting abuse against Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer said afterwards there was "no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech".
