"BBC won't re-show Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performance after 'deeply offensive comments'"

Offensive to whom? The IDF? Well, those fuckers are literally killing people seeking aid as "everything is Hamas'".

So, fuck them.

"The Haaretz investigation, published on Friday, June 27, 2025, details a practice where soldiers would use live fire, including from tanks and grenade launchers, to deter crowds from gathering at aid sites before and after official distribution times. One soldier described the areas as "killing fields," stating that "between one and five people were killed every day" at his location. The soldiers who spoke to Haaretz reportedly indicated that these actions were intended to control the crowds."

What I find odd is that previous aid distribution agencies could.generally manage to distribute aid without heavy artillery and small arms fire.

Weird that.

But Bob Vylan is offensive.

It will be an interesting court case, esp if the defense cite people such as the UN et al who have said what is going on is illegal and possibly a war crime.

Starvation as a weapon of war - Illegal
Killing civilians - Illegal
and the fact that new born babies are NO WAY hamas operatives
etc etc

@zleap The defence from Netanyahu is already in, and it is in the same line as always: “malicious falsehoods designed to defame”, the “GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, established February, 2025, and the replacement for the U.N.) is not aware of any of these incidents but these allegations are too grave to ignore and we therefore call on Israel to investigate them and transparently publish the results in a timely manner,” and 'Netanyahu denies report that Israeli troops have orders to shoot Palestinians seeking aid', but somehow that keeps happening.

It's a "de jure" versus "de facto" question, where Israel states everything we do is legal, and provides 'evidence' to support its case, but the de facto is body, on top of body, on top of body, on top of body, and denial, after denial, after denial.

But if the wider international community doesn't stand up to the issue, nothing will happen. Currently, that sits on its hands.

As I said, it will be an interesting court case, people queing up for aid were not shot at like this before, There are enough witness statements even now to present.

It will be an interesting court case.
