State Department Revokes Visas of Bob Vylan Band After ‘Death to IDF’ Chant—
The State Department announced Monday that it had revoked the U.S. visas of the members of the U.K. band Bob Vylan, who had led the crowd at the televised Glastonbury festival in chants of “Death to the IDF!”
The IDF is the acronym for the Israel Defense Forces, a military in which almost every adult male and female serves during their late teens and early twenties. It is widely considered among the most vigilant militaries in terms of human rights, as well as one of the most effective, having faced terrorists and elite armies in battle.
As Breitbart News reported on Sunday, the State Department had been looking to revoke the visas, amid wide condemnation of the Bob Vylan chant, including by the left-wing UK government, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and others.
