Good for them. They didn't want to give a stage to an active nazi hate group member.
These nazi fucks are everywhere, I'm glad someone is trying to keep them away from public speaking opportunities to spread their religious hate.

It seems that every Jewish person is now expected to pass an arbitrary moral purity test in order to participate in polite society.
I see things differently. Condemning genocide is not an arbitrary test related moral purity.
And like Jewish Voice for Peace say:
Never Again For Anyone
as well as
Not in our name
I remember liberals being super angry about conservatives requiring all Muslims to "condemn terrorism."
Did any western country apologized for their colonial past aka terrorism
And I remember Iranians and Chinese people being refused entry to places because of things their governments did
He is an Israeli citizen and music director of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. I'd say he can be seen as representing Israel (Israel, not necessarily the current regime) on a cultural level. Russian athletes can be barred from international events - why is it too much to ask to distance himself from the atrocities in Palestine?
People think this is a personal attack. It's not (unless this guy actively supports his government). It's sad that people suffer because of their government actions? Yes. Is it necessary? As a symbolic act of protest against a regime you don't support, also yes.
Look at how they never answer your question. It's incredible how there is people still defend israrl in anyway or shape
Russian athletes are allowed to compete as neutrals in international events, as long as they do not openly endorse the war in Ukraine.
Doesn't seem that difficult of a test to pass.
Denouncing genocide is pretty easy to do.
Put another way: if he did denounce it, would he still be leading the Israeli orchestra? Doubtful.
Every Israeli person maybe, not every Jewish person, they don't all live in one small part of the world, גדליה.
Well, considering Israelis aren't going to receive any justice otherwise, social justice is the next best option.
They only have themselves to blame.
not supporting a genocide is arbitrary?
Why would non Israeli Jews have to denounce the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians?
The conductor was Israeli.
It's funny that what looks like a whole Hasbara team has descended on this, including an account used to moderate a very large lemmy.world forum.
Really shows that this kind of thing really worries the Genociders.
It makes sense - evildoers are fine if they can hide behind Country or Organisation because it lets them evade personal consequences for their actions, but when they personally, as individiuals, with no hidding behind some responsibility diffusing entity, suffer consequences for their own participation in the evildoing, it's a whole different story.
You actually see their fear of their collective cloak being torn down in some of the very "arguments" they're using here, such as how Israelis should not be held accountable for the actions of Israel (even those who refuse to simply say "I do not support the Genocide in Gaza"), which is exactly about maintaining the nation working as a responsability diffusing cover.
This tells me we need many more actions like this one in Belgium - make accountable the individuals mass murdering Palestinians or supporting that mass murder.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
