Klinghoffer: The Beatification of Terrorism
  Be the first of your
friends to like this.New York Jewish and anti-Jihadi activists are planning what they hope will be a massive demonstration outside of the Metropolitan Opera on September 22, 2014, at 4:30pm, when "The Death of Klinghoffer," composed by John Adams with a libretto by Alice Hoffman, has its first performance. Although I am a serious opera fan and a strong believer in the First Amendment, I will be among them.
Here's why.
The libretto presents a
false and defamatory narrative of Jews and America; depicts an entirely
untrue, unbalanced, and maliciously immoral history of the founding of the
state of Israel-- especially in Penny
Woolcock's filmed version of the opera which
won a prize at the 2003 Brussels European Film Festival-- an
unbalanced narrative about the fate of refugees in the Middle East; flat-out
blames the Jews for a massacre which Christian Phalangists committed in
Lebanon; and explains and justifies why Arafat's Palestinian terrorists
murdered a wheelchair bound Jewish-American, Leon Klinghoffer (z"l),
viciously, and in cold blood.
Here are some especially
incendiary lines, sung and spoken by "Rambo" who is, in
reality, not Sylvester Stallone, but Mohammed Zaidan:
You are always complaining of your suffering but where ever
poor men are gathered you can find Jews/getting fat./You know how to cheat
the simple/Exploit the virgin,/Pollute where you have exploited/Defame those
you have cheated/And break your own law with idolatry. America is one big
Jew.
