'Get Your Own House In Order': Wes Streeting Condemns Israel Over Bob Vylan Criticism

Health secretary Wes Streeting.Wes Streeting has launched an outspoken attack on Israel after embassy in the UK condemned Bob Vylan’s performance at Glastonbury.The rap duo led the crowd in chants of “death to the IDF (Israel Defence Force)” on Saturday afternoon during a performance that was streamed live on BBC iPlayer.Avon and Somerset Police have launched an investigation into the performances of Bob Vylan, and Irish rappers Kneecap, to see “whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation”.In a post on X, the Israeli embassy in the UK said it was “deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival”.They added: “Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy. But when speech crosses into incitement, hatred, and advocacy of ethnic cleansing, it must be called out—especially when amplified by public figures on prominent platforms.”The Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom is deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival.Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy.

I wish they take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously.”Presenter Trevor Phillips said: “Get your own house in order? That’s pretty tough language.”But Streeting replied: “Well, when I saw the scenes of the village of Taybeh set on fire this week, one of many examples of settler violence where the Israeli authorities look the other way, I do think that’s serious.“When we look at how Israel’s conducting its war in Gaza, I think it’s completely unjustifiable.“We all condemned, and continue to condemn, what happened on October 7. We all want to see the return of the hostages, and there’s no justification for inciting violence against Israelis, but the way in which Israel is conducting this war has made it extremely difficult for Israel’s allies around the world to stand by and justify.”Related...Wes Streeting Slams BBC And Glastonbury Over 'Appalling' Bob Vylan 'Death To The IDF' Chant'Don't Know What The F*** They're Doing': Trump Rages As His Iran-Israel Ceasefire Deal Collapses
