BBC’s Glastonbury hate broadcast was ‘chilling violation’, say October 7 families

The BBC’s broadcast of Bob Vylan’s antisemitic hate chants at Glastonbury was a “chilling violation”, a relative of the October 7 victims has said.

BBC viewers saw Bobby Vylan, frontman of the rap-punk duo, chant “death, death to the IDF” and “from the river to the sea” during his festival set. Many members of the crowd joined in.

The corporation added a warning about discriminatory language but did not mute the chants, and left the livestream on iPlayer for another five hours.

Stephen Brisley’s sister, Lianne Sharabi, and nieces, Noiya, 16, and Yahel, 13, were murdered by Hamas on October 7. His brother-in-law, Eli Sharabi, was recently released from captivity.

Mr Brisley told The Telegraph: “As a British relative of Eli Sharabi - who spent 491 days as a hostage of Hamas - hearing chants of ‘death to the IDF’ at Glastonbury was shocking and deeply painful.

“To have that broadcast live, unfiltered, into our home by the national broadcaster felt like a chilling violation.
