The Grammy Awards Illustrate The Cultural Mainstreaming of Antisemitism
Jay Electronica was nominated for an award for an album that contained antisemitic lyrics. The award ceremony also included Tamika Mallory and Dua Lipa.
Adams' opera “The Death of Klinghoffer” demonizes Israelis and Jews as a group but not so Arabs or Muslims. Despite controversy and generally mediocre music, the opera persists.
Showtime premium cable network vilified West Bank Jewish residents in a recent broadcast to tens of millions of viewers of its popular fictional Homeland melodrama series. Mandy Patinkin is a co-star/co-producer of the program.
Potentially millions of public radio and online podcast listeners were recently subjected to a one-sided segment of the American Public Media (APM) weekly food show The Splendid Table that vilified West Bank Jewish residents.
ABC’s Quantico melodrama series (inaugurated Sept. 27, 2015), viewed by millions weekly, seems destined to endure to the end of the TV season (May 2016). Quantico demonizes Israel and negatively portrays Jews. One of the most controversial operas in recent memory, "The Death of Klinghoffer," which had its (New York) Metropolitan Opera debut on Oct. 20, is a vehicle for tendentious anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist slurs. When considered together with other operas by the same composer and librettist, it represents something more — a prejudicial obsession with Jews.
