| [IsraelTimes] London police say five people were arrested during a protest and counter-demonstration outside a concert by contentious duo Bob Vylan last night, including one individual held over chants against the Israel Defense Forces. The concert took place in northwest London, home to Britain’s largest Jewish community. “One man from the pro-Palestine protest was arrested in relation to chants referencing the IDF,” police say. “One person from the Stop the Hate protest was arrested on suspicion of common assault following an altercation involving another protester,”the Metropolitan Police say, referring to the group that organized a protest against the concert. “A further three people, two from the Stop the Hate protest and one from the pro-Palestine protest, were arrested on suspicion of breaching Public Order Act conditions.” In video shared on social media, a woman wearing an IDF t-shirt said she was detained “just for standing in the street.” The Bobbies were showing their even-handedness. British police said yesterday that they were continuing to investigate comments made on stage by Bob Vylan during a performance at the Glastonbury music festival in June.The performance by Bob Vylan included chants of “Death, death to the IDF,” and a tirade about working for “fucking Zionists” in the music industry.
