The orchestra has informed ticket holders of all 4 first concerts of the season due from 8th to13th October that these concerts are postponed. Not just patrons or Gala, not last night and surely not tonight.
darling? well, may be you are a friend
And what’s the situation in Lebanon for concerts ?
Dear Donna, it’s bad because Lebanon is a failed state, heavily dominated by the Syrian and Iranian dictatorships, consumed by factional infighting, and which failed, along with the UN, to get rid of Hezbollah, as had been demanded in UNSCR 1701 (Israel adhered to that resolution, though the UN and Lebanon did not). Don’t blame the Jews for the failures of UNIFIL, Lebanon, and assorted Muslim tyrannies.
Blame Europe, if anyone. “Jews to Palestine! Jews out of Palestine!” Europe won’t rest till it’s hounded them off the edge of the earth.
