The U.S. State Department has canceled the visas of members of the British punk-rap group Bob Vylan, who chanted pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel slogans during their performance at the Glastonbury Festival. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau criticized the group’s ‘incitement of violence and hatred’ and stated that foreigners who promote such rhetoric are not welcome in the country. The band had planned a 20-city tour across the U.S., including a stop in Washington, D.C., but those plans have now been canceled due to the visa revocation.
