A hang over from the days of the USSR. The Sov’s put a lot of effort into pushing the “Israel Evil” theme among the leftist around the world. It was a gift that just keeps giving.
Was the USSR particularly influential in Chile? Quite the opposite, I thought.
The Sovs were experts at disinformation well before the 2018 election. They played this hand well with left leaning groups in Europe and around the world They used it to bolster the status of their favored states in the Middle East.
I didn’t mean in 2018, I meant specifically under the Pinochet regime.
why not me? (DB wishes)
Chile hosted quite a population of Nazi refugees, their legacy is clearly showing. The government should quash this and fast.
This orchestra would not be in this predicament if they had a woman conductor instead.
I am from Vancouver,Canada and I wanted to say that the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra should be boycotted in all of Latin America and the rest of the world.This orchestra symbolizes Israeli Apartheid and that is why it should be boycotted worldwide.A lot of well known singers have boycotted Israel and they have got support from around the world for it.
There is no Israeli apartheid.
It is quite astonishing that such vile, extreme views are allowed to be expressed on a classical music blog! BDS is a menace. It promotes hatred towards one country and does it with a great deal of false information. This poster is shameful and should have never seen the light of day.
