Flanders Festival Ghent says it made decision over lack of ‘clarity’ about incoming conductor Lahav Shani’s views.
While Shani had spoken in favour of “peace and reconciliation” in the past, his attitude towards the “genocidal regime in Tel Aviv” was unclear given his role as the chief conductor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the festival organisers said.
I mean, respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about? An enormous amount of content on the fediverse in general, not just here, is literally public disavowal and complaints about our regime.
Yes, but individuals don’t state their political affiliation regularly when talking about something non political. And besides, it’s a much bigger thing in real life when you’re not hiding behind your anonymity.
“Well then why aren’t the posts here full of [thing]?”
“What? Here specifically is literally full of [thing]”
“Yeah I know, but [different argument]”
This is what you sound like lol
‘Here’ is not the fediverse, but this thread and these comments.
did you ask?
