A couple of major scandals at this year’s Glastonbury Festival involving Bob Vylan and Kneecap have made headlines.

But other controversies at the blockbuster music event, which didn’t make the news, were too many to count. All of them were entirely avoidable.

Glastonbury’s organisers delivered a greatest-hits line-up of figures whose rhetoric and actions have systematically alienated and endangered British Jews.

This line-up included: Gary Lineker, who previously shared a video about Zionism with a rat emoji; Owen Jones, the columnist-activist who claimed Germany was “forcing” Palestinians to “pay” for the Holocaust; Francesca Nadin, a member of soon-to-be-proscribed Palestine Action, an extremist group of thugs who gained notoriety after it recently claimed the sabotage of two RAF planes; and Ben Jamal, whose organisation orchestrates the regular Palestine marches that have caused untold misery for ordinary people across the country and effectively turned our urban centres into no-go zones for Jews.

Those were all in addition to a performance by Kneecap, one of whose members is alleged to have supported terrorism at a gig last year and has been charged with the offence of supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation, Hezbollah.

A separate charge in relation to comments appearing........
