    I’ll get downvoted for this but what im about to say is an undeniable fact. Chanting death for anyone is inciting violence and murder, UK governments and police can’t be allowing that, especially as there is no death penalty.

    Yes I know, the IDF incite violence and murder, but does that make it OK to do in UK?

      Did they say “IDF” or “IDF members/staff”? IDF isn’t a person, so maybe it’s more of a metaphorical death, as in dismantle the IDF.

      I dunno.

        I’ve thought about this, a metaphorical death/end to the IDF chant is completely acceptable. I guess it’s all down to intent

        the artist chose “death” because it rhymes with IDF. so I wonder if it’s just one of those things

      It may not be legally ok, but it is definitely morally ok to incite (and perform) violence against a genocidal force.

      Crime is only legal if there’s a war. Or if you’re a cop. Or are rich and influential.
