I have said it before and I guess I will have to say it many times more.

This country has gone insane.

Wait’ ....this is an opera glorifying the murder of Leon Klinghoffer ?

Open anti-semitism has come to the Met...?

We have gone off the rails....

For Freepers too young to remember, Leon was on a retirement cruise with his wife when a team of terrorists took over the ship and demanded that all Jews, Americans and British on board volunteer themselves as hostages.

Most cowered or hid. Leon stepped forward and proudly identified himself as both a Jew and an American. He probably saved the lives of many others in that category by doing so.

So glad to see this post here, after seeing all the hate comments towards these protestors, in so many “cultured” blogs all over the web. Every anti-Jewish cliche is dragged out.

Peter Gelb is just a lackey for the Met directors who employ him. They told him to accept the money from the Saudi financiers who wanted to fund this production, so he did it. Funny how defensive he is - over half the Met playbill is devoted to rationalizations and blather about why they should do this opera, even though a different opera is being performed that evening.

I remember when President Reagan forced the plane carrying the hijackers of the Achille Lauro to land in Italy.

The damned Italians forced us to let them go.

this shows the hypocrisy of the Left who one hand denounce critics of violent Islam and other the other hand praise and understand violent Islam.

Also are the Killers of Klinghoffers real Muslims or fake Muslims. Should one understand these Killers or are these Killers misunderstanding Islam?? So confused!!!!
