Israel Philharmonic Orchestra disrupted by louts

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign , an organisation committed to “the principle of self-determination of the Palestinian people”, thought they would further their cause by disrupting a performance of the exquisite Bruch violin concerto number 1 at the Royal Albert Hall by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. What they actually made plain was that their political stupidity is exceeded only by their philistinism.

From here:

The BBC was forced to pull a live Proms performance off air on Thursday night after a performance by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was disrupted by protesters.

  1. Happened in Seattle as well.

    I don’t understand the political stupidity part. Presumably the goal was to draw attention to their cause. They suceeded to the point that even you gave them coverage. Now I’m aware of something that would have otherwise escaped my attention.
