A musical about the murder of a disabled man Tipped over into the sea.The glorious Palestinian Resistance hoping for the Disabled Jew to kill .Disgusting Art .

they're worthless. More often than not, these self anointed guardians of "intellectual integrity" will choose their own career over any "flag/country" issues. By genetic malfunction, more often than not, they will be of leftist leanings as well....

anything for a dollar

And not fold in front of ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is what creates chaos, hates antisemitism and racism towards Arabs and Palestinians. Art is a way of expressing your freedom of expression and no one has the right to take it out from you because of his ignorance

i never heard of her before- Perhaps this here BIG NYC "break" @ Lincoln Center. Many artists would sell their soul for an opportunity like that! (Sad, but true!)

Poor Jewish lady, look at the comments here by people who are trying to honor-kill her with their vile words.

the cold blooded murder of an unarmed wheel chair bound man has nothing to do with sides or complexities. it is a repulsive act of savagery that has absolutely no redeeming value.

Just when you think the Israeli left couldn't sink any lower than it has we discover the "Palestinian woman" in the opera is being played by an" Israeli" who is she Achinoam Nini ? Thank God the majority of Israelis have woken up to what the left has and is doing to them.

in the opera "Death of a Terrorist". Final Scene: Yasser, his body wracked by Parkinson's and AIDS, awaits his ride to heaven (or so he THINKS he's going to heaven). Suha whispers in his ear, "I hope you will be enjoying your virgins while I am enjoying your money", and in his final breath, Yasser whispers, "I will be, as long as they...are...duuudes". And the cast sings a final rousing chorus of "All the Young Dudes" by Mott the Hoople. Has potential, no?

Armed terrorists murder an unarmed, elderly, disabled man in cold blood and dump his body into the sea and you are not taking sides? Sure, why not? The Germans murdered 6 million Jews, but a post-modern sensitive person should not be taking sides. The world would be a so much better place if we had only listened to the Nazi side of the story. I cannot wait to see an opera about the Shoah which would present two sides of a struggle, but would not pick one.

Julio - You refer to all the fascists here I presume. Joel and Ira - I suppose that you were among the thousands who celebrated the murder of my prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. Dov Blair Epstein - Dershowitz is a leftist?????? You are showing your ignorance of Israeli politics!!! Frederic - In 1945 - 1948 Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir were the leaders or Etzel and Lehi who killed tens of British and Jews. Were they Freedom fighters or terrorists? (re PLO) .

Read what John Adams says about Israel in Hallelujah Junction, his memoir. You repeat Gelb's spin that the "majority" of protestors haven't seen the opera. Most have read the libretto and heard the opera. I have done both and I went to the premiere. Have YOU read what Adams and Goodman say about Jews, America and Israel? Educate yourself and spare us your self-serving justifications for lending your talents to this abomination

Unless on the extreme left everyone who has seen the opera, including the likes of Alan Deshowitz, has said that it is extremely biased, anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. Ms Lahyani is typically making excuses for something that is inexcusable.

Given the reputation of the NY Times, it is no praise to say it gave a positive review to what most people see as an anti-Israel production.

This newspaper has become in recent year a fervent Israel's opponent. Thus, its positive review of the opera is a good indication that the show is indeed anti-Israel.
