Even an opera based off of a factual event is anti-Semitic, according to Jews.

An opera being held in New York City has caused Jews to cry many tears.  The opera, called “The Death of Klinghoffer,” is based on the 1985 Palestinian Liberation Organization hijacking of an Italian cruise ship where an old Jew named Leon Klinghoffer was shot and thrown overboard.

Even though it sounds as if the opera is just based on a historical event, the Jews are crying about it being anti-Semitic.  Seriously Jews?  Is there anything besides bagels, usury and circumcisions that you don’t consider to be anti-Semitic?

News Busters:

Twelve years after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and with anti-Semitic sentiment once again on the rise around the world, terrorism is once more coming to New York City. But this time it’s been set to music and sold as art.

In a disgusting move, New York City’s Metropolitan Opera is staging a highly anti-Semitic, controversial opera composed by John Adams, “The Death of Klinghoffer,” based on the 1985 Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro. During the ordeal, the terrorists shot and killed Leon Klinghoffer, an elderly, wheelchair-bound American Jew, before tossing him and his wheelchair overboard.

Adams argued that he didn’t write The Death of Klinghoffer to be controversial or provocative and was “appalled at how hot some of the response was” to the opera. He felt he was trying to show the humanity in the civilians and Jewish family on board as well as the terrorists and wasn’t picking sides.

“For all the brutality and moral wrong they [the terrorists] perpetrated in killing this man, they’re still human beings and have to have had reasons for doing so,” Adams claimed. Seriously? What next? An opera about the 9/11 terrorist attacks and an effort to humanize those terrorists? A tacit justification of their motives?

Richard Allen, founder of the Jewish Community Center (JCC) Watch, along with families and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Catholic League and numerous other Jewish organizations are, “outraged at how the opera is callously glorifying the terrorists,” despite the Met’s objections to the contrary.
