Nobody chants "death to the IRGC" in music festivals in Israel (or anywhere in Israel). Not to mention we're talking a third party here, the UK.

The Israeli government doesn't say "Death to the IRGC". Iran however regularly (like weekly) has massive crowds chanting "Death to the USA" and "death to Israel", stepping on and burning Israeli and American flags.

Israel consistently says they consider the Iranians their friends who are also oppressed by the regime. There are zero calls for death of anyone from Israel.

And Iran sponsors Jewish groups that are critical of the state of Israel. Both sides claim to be critical solely of the other's state, never the people. Sadly, neither side is credible in this, there's ample evidence of prejudice and hatred all round.
