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.

The State Department revoked the visas of the British punk-rap duo that led a chant of “death to the IDF” at a popular music festival in England.

Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” wrote U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau.
