Matisyahu Stands Up to BDS, Rocks Spanish Festival
inn ^ | 8/23/15 | Cynthia Blank

American Jewish singer Matisyahu performed at a Spanish music festival late on Saturday, three days after organizers apologized for canceling his appearance due to pressure from the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

While he faced catcalls from some pro-Palestinian protesters, Reuters reported, the concert passed calmly despite its tense build-up.

Video from the event shows Matisyahu singing his famous song "Jerusalem," even as protesters wave the flags of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorist group in the crowd.

Anyone waving a Pali flag in my presence is going to need facial reconstruction surgery.

Why does rap have to influence everything?

So this “Matisyahu” person actually bills it’s self as a
“Jewish singer”? Isn’t that like homos rooting out the christian
bakery just to have a chance to cram their perversion
down someones throat? Funny that some people will do the
stupidest things to become famous.

Please be advised Matisyahu is very famous in Israel and all over the world, and has been for some time. His concerts and shows are almost always sold out. Have a listen... He’s awesome.

He’s a singer who has written some songs about Israel, and is an American Jew. Thus, as a Jew, some people will boycott him. Not a particularly new concept. How you equate this with “homos cramming perversion down a Christian bakeries throat” is beyond me, unless you were attributing the perversion to the BDS movement, Matisyahu being the Christian baker.
