00:00UK police have launched a criminal investigation into performances by NICAP and Bob Vilen at
00:08the Glastonbury Festival last weekend, after the musicians used their performances to deliver
00:13a powerful message against the genocide in Gaza.

01:48at the genocide is being given more scrutiny than the actual actions of the IDF themselves.
01:54The British police are investigating both groups for public order offenses.
