The British police announced today that surprisingly it would take no further action regarding comments made about the Israeli army by Bob Vylan from the Glastonbury Festival stage last June.

“We have concluded, after reviewing all the evidence, that he did not meet the criminal behaviour described by the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) to warrant prosecution,” Avon and Somerset police said.

During the concert, the band’s lead singer rhythmically sang “death to the IDF“, meaning the Israel Defense Forces fighting in the Gaza Strip.

In a shocking statement, the police noted that not enough evidence was found to provide a realistic prospect of a conviction, who took a statement from a man aged about 35 and contacted about 200 onlookers as part of their investigation, regardless of the fact that the singer in recorded on camera rhythmically saying “death to the IDF”!

The BBC was heavily criticised for not interrupting the live broadcast of the festival…

And as if that was not bad provocative enough, in its statement, Avon and Somerset Police noted that it took into account the…intentions behind the words, the”wider context” and issues relating to freedom of speech before concluding its investigation. 

And all this while, people in the UK are being prosecuted and jailed for social media posts that may cause “anxiety” among members of certain minorities.
