The Western playbook: Exaggerate statements, downplay war crimes

Statements made by various artists during the Glastonbury Festival prompted a wave of condemnations, investigations, and even visa revocations against them. British duo Bob Vylan was investigated by authorities for leading thousands to chant for Palestine, chants that were completely harmless. On the other side of the planet, war crimes are being carried out daily by the Israeli occupation in Gaza. Despite the wide documentation of these crimes, silence fills the throats of these same officials and individuals condemning chants, mere chants.
