Comments on: The Sydney Festival’s “important stance” https://www.jwire.com.au/the-sydney-festivals-important-stance/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Fri, 07 Jan 2022 03:58:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Paul Winter https://www.jwire.com.au/the-sydney-festivals-important-stance/#comment-618804 Fri, 07 Jan 2022 03:58:23 +0000 https://www.jwire.com.au/?p=132842#comment-618804 The statements quoted are apt and rational, in contrast to the irrationality of the BDSers. And their blind hate, recalling the insane hate if those who murdered Jews to avenge Jesus’ death or because of Jewish power seeking according to the Protocols of Zion forgery.
What makes this current BDS stunt particularly odious is that it not only attempts to impose BDS on Australians at large, but it seeks to disadvantage an Australian dance group from performing because its choreographer is an Israeli Jew. That is pure Jew-hatred.

The Palestinian groups protesting this performance funded by the Israeli Embassy and the hangers-on – various performers who have withdrawn in support, ignorant, privileged people, with no idea of history – obviously care nothing for the Arts as a way of transcending politics and hate, bringing together, even momentarily, human beings as one. Pathetic. There should be no place for their kind in cultural pursuits.
