I have already written several letters to the IIC (idiot in charge)Gelb, voicing my extreme disgust, not only at the appalling lack of sensitivity to the Klinghoffer family, but the affront to ALL of humanity. This opera glorifies and gives moral equivalency to the terrorists with real fighters for freedom and justice. Forget about the perversion of historical facts. Apparently that is of no concern to Gelb.
I got a thank you for my opinion letter from the Met, which was incredibly patronizing, and I immediately fired back a response telling them that it is despicable that they are digging in their heels in the face of so much legitimate criticism and the rancor and predictable Anti-Semitism this opera is about to cause to proliferate, but their intractable stance and intransigence in owning up to this ill-advised (to say the least)plan, is beyond appalling.
EVERYONE needs to flood the Met with letters and e-mails,d enouncing these plans, whether or not you would ever attend an opera, from the chareidi down to the least-affiliated Jew. And I would hope that people of good will and common sense who are NIST unzerer, would do the same. But I am not holding my breath in this PC society where it has long since been forgotten that “Freedom of Speech” does not mean one can at will yell “fire!” in a crowded theater.
