Nixing visas is a wise US response to Bob Vylans naked Jew-hate

Kudos to the State Department for revoking the visas for British punk-rappers Bob Vylan: Our country doesn’t need to let naked antisemites in for a tour.The pair led the Glastonbury Musical Festival crowd in chants of raw hate, including “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be, inshallah, it will be free,” and “Death, death to the IDF.”The first is a demand to expel or kill all the Jews of Israel; the latter, transparently, is an outright call for the slaughter of the Jewish state’s defenders.With tens of thousands joining in from the audience, it was a truly Hitler-worthy spectacle.But also ample reason for the feds to nix the duo’s visas for a coming tour: No foreigner has a right to visit this nation and make big money for promoting hate and terrorism.Bob Vylan also faces backlash back home: Prime Minster Keir Starmer and a host of other pols have denounced them; the BBC is squirming over having broadcast the performance and the United Talent Agency says it will stop repping the band.They also face a police investigation, but the UK’s efforts to police speech are a mess full of double- and triple-standards.To be clear: US citizens have the right to blare hate speech as vile as Bob Vylan’s, but the First Amendment doesn’t mean we need to let Nazis come visit.Cheers to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Justice Department’s Leo Terrell for their attention to this matter....
