When Bob Vylan frontman Bobby Vylan led the crowd in a chant of “Death, Death to the IDF,” he not only incited death but launched a new platform for supporting hate and terrorism. As a result, his visa to the United States has been revoked, and his upcoming tour consisting of more than 20 concerts has been cancelled.
