Free Speech Crackdown: Germany Deports Bob Vylan Frontman for Anti-israel Chants (Hanno Hauenstein | The Intercept, 2026-07-30) https://theintercept.com/2026/07/30/bob-vylan-germany-deport-palestine-israel/ ——— >> The frontman of British punk rap band #BobVylan was denied entry to #Germany, detained at the Berlin airport, and ultimately deported to the United Kingdom last month due to his pro-Palestine statements. >> German federal police justified deporting the band’s vocalist [Pascal Robinson-Foster] on June 15, referencing a performance at the Glastonbury Festival in England in 2025 where Bob Vylan led a chant of “Death, death to the IDF,” or the Israel Defense Forces. >> Authorities later revoked the entry ban … in late July, but refused to explain why it had been rescinded — or how the decision to impose it had been made in the first place. >> A police file on Robinson-Foster obtained by The Intercept alleges that he disseminated antisemitic narratives and Hamas propaganda … #palestine #GermanComplicityInGenocide @palestine@fedibird.com

The UK's so-called "#LabourParty" has tweeted a long series of attacks on Green Party #GPEW candidates in #London, as part of its #antisemitism scare. https://x.com/LondonLabour/status/2051936716257189938 This has clearly been a long time in preparation, and it looks very similar to what #LabourTogether did to sabotage #Corbyn leadership. Some of the comments are a bit OTT, but some are commendable — like Laura-Louise Fairley in #HackneyDowns, who cheered #BobVylan and wants the #IDF banned as a terrorist organisation. 👍👏
