Bob Vylan has responded to the uproar over its “death to the IDF” comments at the Glastonbury festival with a statement that doubles down on the artist’s pro-Palestinian position, albeit with less inflamed language and more explanatory context than was found in their concert chant.

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

"We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine," the duo wrote on Instagram, days after chanting "death to the IDF" during their Glastonbury set over the weekend.
