Leon Klinghoffer was a disabled man (Jewish) who was killed by Muslim terrorists in 1985 when an Italian cruise ship was hijacked. The ship was named the Achille Lauro and Leon Klinghoffer was thrown overboard by the Muslims in the terrorist attack. So why is the Lincoln Center Metropolitan Opera producing a disgusting tribute to these terrorists? It’s because the New York progressives don’t even hide their antisemitism anymore.

| Lincoln Center Metropolitan Opera to produce anti-Jew ‘Death of Leon Klinghoffer’ |

The opera actually tries to justify the killing of Leon Klinghoffer by Muslim terrorists. WTF has New York become? Oh right, the mayor is commie Bill de Blasio.
What do you think? Do you think if I write a thought-provoking, probingly-artistic contemporary opera on the subject of Michael Brown’s untimely shooting, it will be met with critical acclaim?
Maybe it will be performed by the New York Metropolitan Opera during its 2015 season, and will be described as “dialogue” on a difficult subject.
You don’t think so? I can’t imagine why.
It seems right in line with what the Met has planned this year with “The Death of Klinghofer.” You remember Leon Klinghofer, don’t you? He was the 69-year-old Jewish man who, in 1985, was pushed off the cruise ship Achille Lauro to his death by Palestinian terrorists. Pushed into the water in his wheelchair. Because he was Jewish.
The opera portrays this murder as justified, not only because of Palestinian grievances against Israel, but also by the alleged evil and exploitative actions of Jews against others around the world.
