New York: Neo-Nazi BDS Supporters Protest Israel Philharmonic

10

Devout Muslims and their leftist lapdogs are norming systematic Jew-hatred worldwide under the euphemistically labeled BDS movement — a nazi-esque movement to alienate, isolate and destroy the Jewish state. Worse still, it is funded by wealthy liberal American Jews, as I have documented here at the Geller Report in numerous exposes. And now it has the Democrat Party leadership on its side, as well as leftist pressure groups such as the ACLU. It’s unconscionable how the left is lining up systematically against Israel while ignoring the actual human rights abuses committed by numerous other countries. It reveals the Jew-hatred that is at the bottom of all this.

“Protest against Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in New York,” by Nitsan Keidar, Arutz Sheva, February 4, 2019 (thanks to Wendy):

On Sunday, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra performed at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York, in the presence of the Consul General of Israel in New York Dani Dayan. The concert was part of a tour that began last weekend and ends on Saturday.

The US tour was conducted with the assistance of the American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Consulate General of Israel in New York. More than 100 members of the orchestra arrived in the US, led by conductor Yoel Levy, who replaced Maestro Zubin Mehta who fell ill. The soloist at the New York concert was famed violinist Itzhak Perlman.

A few days before the concert, a protest against the orchestra began on social networks, led by Adalah, a group of activists affiliated with the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. The organization calls for a cultural boycott of Israel and claims that “Israel’s science, culture and academia are trying to cover up its terrible crimes against humanity.”

On Sunday, a demonstration attended by dozens of activists was held outside the hall where the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was playing. The protesters were demonstrating against the performance of the orchestra and against Israeli culture in general. The protesters held up signs reading, among other things: “Israeli cultural institutions should be boycotted, such as the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra which participates in the Israeli apartheid regime”, “The State of Israel harms Palestinian culture: closes theaters, does not allow cultural events to take place, and prohibits Palestinian artists from traveling”, “Israel systematically negates the basic rights of Palestinians, whether they live under Israeli military occupation, as unequal citizens in Israel or as refugees, and their right to return to their homeland”….

Lies must be responded to. No politician, no organization and no ‘friend’ should be allowed to get away with supporting BDS, directly or indirectly.
I was at the concert and it was absolutely great.

What did they perform?

Perlman at his best is superb, but, while I’ve never personally heard him bomb, I understand he is given to that.

Perlman didn’t bomb but he was not at his best. He played Beethoven Romance in F and G Majors, Two pieces by Kreisler and Schindler’s List theme and a short encore from the Scent of the Woman. He could play those pieces in his sleep and I had the feeling that he had stayed away from longer, more physically taxing compositions. The audience loved him, giving him a standing ovation. Even at not his best, he’s still great.

I like the sound Israeli Philharmonic and they were very good playing Tchaikovsky’s 6th. They played an Israeli composer’s piece I was not familiar with, which I liked, and were very generous with encores. More than one.

Zubin Mehta cancelled out, claiming health issues, which was a bit of disappointment but the concert was a big success. Oh, and it started out with the Orchestra playing the US and Israeli National Anthems.

First they go after Jews , then christians then the dumb Left/liberals who support them

And the first Muslim democrat/socialist president imported 200,000 yearly legal and illegal muslims and
deported christians back to ISIS to be slaughtered after they tried to make it to America http://tinyurl.com/mtc3xch

And those who dared to help were threatened to shut up and MSM would not cover it !

The protesters were demonstrating against the performance of the orchestra and against Israeli culture in general. “Israeli cultural institutions should be boycotted,…”

Oh yes, humanity would be so much enriched if the contributions of Jews throughout history had been replaced by those from “Palestinians”. These protesting goons probably have no comprehension of the artistry they are protesting. But surely “Palestinians” don’t want to benefit from the contributions to science that Jewish scientists have made over the past 200 years. Let them rely on the scientific achievements of the Moslem world. Oh yeah, Arab music is pretty banal too.

Along these lines, the following recollection came to my mind. In the 1930’s, after many of Germany’s best physicists (aka Jews) had left the country, some Nazi poobah asked a German scientist about the current state of atomic physics in Germany. The response was a curt, but memorable retort along the lines of , “There is none to speak of anymore”.

Funny how you bleat about nuclear weapons programs in Nazi Germany but have f*Ck all to say about the Iranian Repugnant or the Pakistaini Islamic Repugnant.

Israeli Philharmonic’s original name was Palestinian Orchestra in the 1930s, before the modern state of Israel came into being and when the today’s Palestinians called themselves and were called just Arabs and the only people calling themselves Palestinians were Jews.

We have allowed the Arabs to rewrite history and hijack the language.

We should not allow to let Muhammadists control the public discourse.
Instead we should abolish Muhammadist tyrannies & deception.
What few know:
Today Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, Iraq, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (see Wikiislam).
