The Central Park concert series in New York City faces backlash for inviting singer Kehlani, known for her controversial remarks, including the phrase "Long live the Intifada," which critics associate with violence towards the Jewish community. This invitation ignited outrage, particularly among Jewish leaders and politicians, following her recent cancellation from a Cornell University performance. They argue public funds should not support individuals whose statements incite antisemitism, especially in a city with a significant Jewish population. Representatives have called for reconsideration of such performances that seemingly endorse extreme views.
America's largest city has no business subsidizing or sanitizing antisemitism at taxpayer expense. Stop mainstreaming the extremes and inviting those who invite violence.
An individual who refers to Jews as the 'f-king scum of the earth' and calls for their annihilation has no business performing in the heart of New York City.
