Piers Morgan's panel criticized Taylor Lorenz for defending Bob Vylan's chant 'death to the IDF' at Glastonbury, claiming it was not inciting violence against Israelis. The band faced severe backlash, including visa revocation by the State Department and cancellation of representation by agencies. Lorenz stated the chant targeted the Israeli military's actions, referring to the violence in Gaza, while arguing for the need to understand the outrage. Opponents insisted that any call for death is unacceptable regardless of context, emphasizing the need for humane discourse.
"If an army is committing genocide and slaughtering babies and creating the highest rate of child amputees in the world, that’s what they have done for months and years now … Calling for their death, that's the issue."
"I don't think anyone wants positive sentiment. We're saying we don't want anyone to call for the death of anyone."
