Israel blasts BBC for failing to cut live broadcast of punk duo Bob Vylan's 'death to the IDF' chants amid calls to arrest singer - as he revels in the fury while tucking into ice cream

 Israel has condemned the BBC and Glastonbury after a pro-Palestine punk act called for the death of Israeli soldiers during a live broadcast from the festival.

Police have launched a probe into the comments made by Bob Vylan, who led chants of 'Free Palestine' and 'Death to the IDF', on Saturday afternoon. 

The singer from the band, who keeps his identity secret, also declared 'from the river to the sea Palestine… will be free' – regarded by many in the Jewish community as a call for Israel's elimination. 


However, singer and guitarist Bobby Vylan, who performs alongside his bandmate Bobbie Vylan, revelled in the fury caused by his comments on Saturday evening. 

Sharing a photo of himself eating an ice cream, he wrote on his Instagram story: 'While Zionists are crying on socials, I've just had a late night (vegan) ice cream.

Bob Vylan's entire performance was live-streamed on the BBC iPlayer but it has since been taken down. 

Nevertheless, the corporation was lambasted for failing to cut the broadcast immediately after the anti-Semitic chanting.

Shockingly, its live stream continued for another 40 minutes until the end of Bob Vylan's performance.

The incident prompted calls for the band members to be arrested over claims they had incited violence. Avon and Somerset Police last night said they were examining video evidence and investigating if any offence had been committed.
