Overview

  • Lorenz insisted the slogan targets the Israeli military rather than civilians during Monday’s Piers Morgan Uncensored broadcast.
  • She argued that calls for the IDF’s demise are in response to alleged genocide in Gaza and likened them to protests against “American imperialism.”
  • Piers Morgan and Israeli writer Hen Mazzig countered that “death to the IDF” is commonly interpreted as urging violence against soldiers.
  • The duo’s Glastonbury chant had prompted U.S. State Department visa cancellations and led United Talent Agency to drop them.
  • Observers remain split on whether such rhetoric qualifies as protected political speech or crosses into antisemitic hate speech.
