MPs and Jewish leaders call for Bob Vylan’s Manchester gig to be cancelled | Manchester
MPs and Jewish leaders wanted the Punk-Rap duo Bob Vylan’s next Manchester concert be called.
Jewish representative Büyük Manchester (JRC) – In a letter supported by 10 deputies – Manchester Academy called on the November 5 show to cancel.
Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury Set, which contains the cheers of “IDF to IDF, was broadcast live in June at the BBC. The group, who denied the allegations of anti -Semitism, then fell from Manchester’s radar festival in July, but we plan to visit the city next month.
JRC first asked for the cancellation of the Bob Vylan concert of November last month. Jihad al-Shamie attacked the Heaton Park Hebrew congregation synagogue in Manchester on Thursday, died of two worshipers and wounded three other people, and their demands to stop the concert increased. 35 -year -old Shamie was shot and killed by the police at the scene.
In a statement supported by politicians, including politicians, including the Great Manchester Workers Navendu Mishra, Jo Plato, Graham Stringer, Christian Wakeford and Paul Waugh, said, “Manchester Academy was deeply concerned about Bob Vylan’s decision to host Bob.
“There is a vital distinction between the legitimate criticism of the Israeli government and the conversation that turned into anti -Semitism,” he added. “We call on the Manchester Academy to cancel the performance and make open policies to make sure that it will not legitimize the prejudice under the guise of freedom of expression.”
JRC General Manager Marc Levy, his father Alan Levy, the attacker to stop the entry of the doors in the synagogue of the congregations in the synagogue Marc Levy, freedom of expression should be balanced with the security of a Jewish community threatened.
He said: “[Heaton Park] My synagogue, I grew up there, my children grew up there, and people who knew throughout my life now have this sadness in their eyes.
“Worst of all, the attack was inevitable. It was inevitable because you have individual places that are preparing to give a platform to artists who speak about ‘hunting Zionists’ and ‘death’ like Bob Vylan.
“We understand the need for freedom of expression, but we cannot have people performing on our streets.”
Manchester Academy approached for a comment.
