The UK's chief rabbi has strongly criticised "the airing of vile Jew-hate at Glastonbury" after a live broadcast of Bob Vylan's performance at the festival went out on the BBC, during which the band's singer led the crowd in chants of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]".

The rap duo's frontman, Bobby Vylan, led the crowd in chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF."

London punk-grime duo Bob Vylan are the subjects of a criminal investigation following their set at Glastonbury. This is the story behind the biggest talking point of this year's festival

We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story,” Bobby and Bobbie Vylan say.

Although Glastonbury and the BBC have condemned Bob Vylan's onstage comments, the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Jim Berk is not satisfied.
