Aussie Jews respond to Melbourne Symphony climbdown

Aussie Jews respond to Melbourne Symphony climbdown

Message from the Australian Jewish Association in response to the MSO’s apology to the anti-Israel activist pianist Jayson Gillham:

If the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra wants to engage in anti-Israel activism, why on earth would Jewish donors continue to support them?

Jewish attendees don’t want to be accosted by anti-Israel activists when attending events.

If the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra caves to far-left extremism and decides to work with this anti-Israel agitator after what happened, many self-respecting Jews will not want to be associated with them.

A quick glance at their donor list shows just how dependent they are on the generosity of the Jewish community.
