Headline: Bob Vylan claim they are 'being targeted for speaking up' during controversial Glastonbury set
Caption: During their performance at the U.K. festival on Saturday, the punk-rap duo drew criticism after leading a crowd in a chant of "Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defense Forces)". In a statement shared on Instagram on Tuesday, the duo insisted that the furore was "a distraction from the story" amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. "Today, a good many people would have you believe a punk band is the number one threat to world peace. Last week it was a Palestine pressure group, the week before that it was another band."
