English punk band Bob Vylan defended their onstage comments during Glastonbury, which called for "death to the IDF."

We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story,” Bobby and Bobbie Vylan say.

LONDON (AP) — Rap-punk duo Bob Vylan on Tuesday rejected claims of antisemitism over onstage comments at the Glastonbury Festival that triggered a police investigation and sparked criticism from politicians, the BBC and festival organizers. The band said in a statement that it was being “targeted for speaking up” about the war in Gaza.
