“Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”
The State Department has officially revoked the visas for Bob Vylan, the British rap duo who went viral over the weekend after leading a chant at England’s annual Glastonbury Music Festival that called for the death of Israeli soldiers.
A senior State Department official confirmed to The Daily Wire that the visas were revoked on Monday, ahead of the duo’s roughly twenty-city tour through the United States, with performances planned in several major cities, including Washington, D.C.
“The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants. Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau wrote on X.
“As a reminder, under the Trump Administration, the U.S. government will not issue visas to any foreigner who supports terrorists,” the senior official said on Sunday ahead of the revocation, signaling to The Daily Wire that action would be on the horizon on Monday..
While performing Britain’s largest summer music festival— which was live streamed on the BBC — Pascal Robinson-Foster, who uses the stage name “Bobby Vylan,” encouraged thousands of people in his audience to chant “Death, death to the IDF.”
“Free, Free Palestine,” Vylan chanted. “But have you heard this one though? Death, death to the IDF! Death, death to the IDF!”
After repeating the chant several times, Vylan referenced another genocidal slogan: “Hell yeah, from the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, inshallah, it will be free.”

Me too!..................
The article must have been written by someone whose third language is English, but near as I can tell the name is an homage to Robert Allen Zimmerman, AKA Bob Dylan.
When they said the name on the radio, I thought they said “Bobzilla.”
That’s the best way to deal with such trash. Hit them in the wallet big time. They have been dropped by their agency and their multi-city US tour will need to be canceled because their visas have been revoked. (Also, the dude who spewed the pro-Hamas chants is black, so what connection does he have with “Palestine?”)
Considering that Bob wrote and performed arguably the most pro-Israel song ever, ‘Neighborhood Bully’, I think he is not onboard with these no-talent hacks.

Whoever he is, it is sickening the way he nods to Bob Dylan—for the publicity—Bob Dylan, who is a true Christian today, and has been for many years, AND who never aligned himself with this type in his worldly days.

That was last week. SCOTUS just neutered those activist jurists. They can stomp their feet all they want, they have officially been put in their place.
Propaganda agent Visa canceled good deal.
Why doesn’t Bob Dylan sue him? Open and shut case of trademark infringement, and perhaps even defamation.
