The DOJ Job Drive to Fight Antisemitism goals to find out what measures can be found to “stop the promotion of violent antisemitic rhetoric in the US” after violent chants by punk duo Bob Vylan this weekend on the Glastonbury Competition, Assistant Lawyer Basic for Civil Rights Leo Terrell posted Sunday on X.
Bob Vylan singer Pascal Robinson-Foster on Saturday led the Glastonbury crowd in chants of “Dying to the IDF,” “Free Palestine” and “From the river to the ocean,” statements that have been strongly condemned by competition organizers and Jewish advocacy teams Sunday.
Bob Vylan plans to go to the US within the fall as a part of the 24-city Inertia Tour, together with stops in New York and Washington, D.C. Division of Justice Job Drive to Fight Antisemitism chair Leo Terrell, a Trump appointee and former Fox Information contributor, posted on Sunday that his division would contact the State Division on Monday to type out what could be executed to cease Robinson-Foster from spreading his message additional.
“These abhorrent chants, which included requires the loss of life of members of the Israeli Protection Forces … don’t have any place in any civil society,” Terrell wrote, tagging President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “We perceive that Mr. Vylan is planning to journey to the US as a part of the Inertia Tour. In response, Mr. Terrell’s Job Drive shall be reaching out to the U.S. Division of State on Monday to find out what measures can be found to handle the scenario and to stop the promotion of violent antisemitic rhetoric in the US.”
The Each day Wire reported Sunday that the State Division is already seeking to revoke Robinson-Foster’s visa, citing an nameless senior State Division official. Messages despatched to the Division of Justice and State Division weren’t instantly returned Sunday.
Robinson-Foster responded to the controversy Sunday on Instagram, saying it’s essential to “encourage and encourage future generations to select up the torch that was handed to us.”
“Allow us to show to them loudly and visibly the fitting factor to do after we need and wish change,” he wrote. “Allow them to see us marching on the streets, campaigning on the bottom stage, organising on-line and shouting about it on any and each stage that we’re supplied.”
