Despite his views, he will never be accepted because he is an Israeli Jew. Kind of sad, really.

that no matter how much pro palestinian and anti israel you can be, you remain a Jew, a Jew that will be hated by the people you intend to defend ! Such Jew didn't learn nothing from their own jewish history ! To be friend with our ennemies never helped !

Personally I am happy that Baronboim got slapped in the face he well deserves it , yet the reason seems to be the Israelis in the orchestra which offends them 'Why then do we not tell Quatar's AlJazeera which reports from here to pack their bags ?!

that taking sides with Arabs,will be profitable to them.

Its BIZARRE logic to say to a person ACTIVELY ENGAGED in promoting understanding and tolerance to be rejected by Qatari Authorities to pander to extremist sensitivites In any case there are TENS OF THOUSANDS of Muslims and Jews all over the world who at ground level without recognition work hard everyday in so many ways to reverse the ingrained intolerance on both sides and PUT QATARS behaviour to shame

Kul kalb bidj yomo

former Rebbe always described people who went far away from their jewish roots: Far di Yiden a goy un for di goyim a Yid. Barenboim went into the same trap with his new chevres: he can't shake off the stigma of prejustice and false accusations against Jews even if he went so far away from it all as he did.

Well, he can always perform in Ramallah.....

Barenboim ,sorry for you after a long time a public figure of a pro Palestine .Feel the hatred and now you are mixed with us as a Zionist. We do not want you.

Susan, B.will not perform in Ramallah, not paid enough ...He is not the sole leftist self hating Jew who is treated like that. If he would consider to convert to Islam, he would get Money + Honour ...

Karma's a bitch...ain't it, Barenboim?

'Once a Jew always a Zionist' The next thing you know Noam Chomsky will not be allowed to visit Saudi Arabia.

There is no partner for peace.

This goes to show you that no matter how far Daniel Bareinboim supports the Arab cause, in the end he remains a "dirty" Jew to them. Israel or Zionism has nothing to do with it. Jew hatred is deeply rooted and that's why peace in nowhere on the horizon and making concessions is suicidal.

and this is what he gets! could his betrayal of Israel been any more complete? could his embrace of Israel's enemies been any more profound? could he have disgraced himself any more abjectly? and, his putative allies still have not gotten enough from him. knowing danny, one can be certain that this will only encourage him to seek a more supine position (the position he likes best) in the face of the hostility of the Israel's enemies. one can expect no insight, no wisdom, from him.

then it's obvious they have no idea what a Zionist is.

They spread propaganda via Al-Jazeera, warmly welcome Hamas, and they host a new Taliban office.

but all it really shows is the deep-rooted racism in Arab culture and Islam....a fact pointed out by the Chief Editor of Al-Quds Al-Arabi in the UK in 2008.

Barenboim, who fancies himself more pro-Palestinian than the Palestinians, has his face rubbed in the truth about his buddies by Qatari thugs. And the lesson he will draw form this is: ZERO. Morons with radical ideological bloinders are incapable of learning anything.

However much he is pro-Palestinian, to Arabs he is still a Jew and a Zionist. The Israeli Left can learn something from that.

Perhaps they should replace Daniel with the Naturei Karta String Quartet. No one could confuse them with Jews or Zionists!

"ACTIVELY ENGAGED in promoting understanding and tolerance" - you are naive if you think the Arab world cares at all about 'understanding and tolerance" - that is a foreign concept to them.

Agree with 21.

So what did Barenboim prostitute and debase himself for?

An "honorary Palestinian" is referred to as "a Zionist conductor" and boycotted. It's obvious that it's not his nonexistent Zionism they object to. It's his Jewishness. Anti-Semitism by another name: anti-Zionism.

The phrase is most likely, "kul kalb biji yomo" which roughly translates as .. ".Every dog's day will come" But there's not much point in posting things here that next to nobody will understand.
