CAM Director of European Affairs Shannon Seban issued the following statement on the disruption of an Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra concert in Paris, France, on Thursday:
“Artists who came to Paris to play music, a universal symbol of dialogue and peace, were targeted simply because of their nationality. Protesting Israeli musicians because one disagrees with the actions of their government is not political activism, it is antisemitic harassment, plain and simple. The perpetrators must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
“This marks only the latest outrageous example of the growing normalization of Jew-hatred in French society. If concrete and immediate action is not taken to reverse this disturbing trend, the future of French Jewry, and the Republic as a whole, is bleak.”
