ADL Supports Anti Jewish Opera in New York City
[From article]
Palestinians murdered three innocent Jewish boys in Israel, and the New York Metropolitan Opera is still refusing to cancel a performance that sympathetically portrays the murder of a Jew by Arabs. What’s worse, the Anti Defamation League (ADL) – the most powerful Jewish organization tasked with defending Jewish interests – has made a backroom deal with the Met that allows the anti-Jewish performances to go forward without protest.
The opera – “The Death of Klinghoffer” – is based on a hijacking incident in 1985 on the Italian ship Achille Lauro. While on an anniversary cruise with his wife, Leon Klinghoffer, an elderly Jew from New York who was confined to a wheelchair, was – like Eyal, Gilad and Naftali – shot dead by Palestinians. His body was then thrown into the sea.
The 1991 opera, according to Met general manager Peter Gelb, aims “to understand the hijackers and their motivations, and to look for humanity in the terrorists, as well as in the victims.” In other words: to create sympathy for the killers by making them morally equivalent to Klinghoffer and, by extension, all Jews.
