Can they face the music?
A frustrated fundraiser is looking to hire a mariachi band to incessantly serenade the anti-Israel encampment at the University of Pennsylvania — and supporters are donating to the idea in droves.
The protesters occupying the Philadelphia campus’ College Green are reluctant to converse with outsiders, according to CNN — but have no problem shouting their ideals for all to hear, according to fundraiser Rob Martinez.
“I believe these protestors (sic) should be serenaded for their efforts, just as they have constantly serenaded my efforts to study for finals with a megaphone and drum set,” Martinez wrote on his GoFundMe, which plans to hire a mariachi band to play alongside the tent setup until the coffers run out.
“Donate to have a mariachi band play next to the encampment continuously until we run out of money to pay them for their efforts,” Martinez wrote.
The fundraiser also asked donors to chip in “a few dollars for nose plugs” for the band, because the “merry batch of campers” on the green “are not the biggest fans of bathing.”
Martinez — who did not respond to The Post’s request for comment — launched the GoFundMe on Thursday; by Saturday morning, it had nearly doubled its initial $14,000 goal.
“Best money I spent all week. Play it loud,” one contributor commented along with their $100 donation.
One donor suggested that Martinez also arrange for an Ashkenazi Jewish Klezmer band to play near the protesters, which a third person quickly seconded.

YEE HAA!!!
“One donor suggested that Martinez also arrange for an Ashkenazi Jewish Klezmer band to play near the protesters, which a third person quickly seconded.”
Except for very brief performances while sipping margies on a Cancun beach, NO-ONE likes mariachi.
😆
That goal sounds funny and clever, but I assure you, this will end up with the mariachi musicians getting verbally, then physically harassed. Pro Palestinian groups are not known for their restraint or for their manners. Might want to rethink that plan.
Somewhere in all of this will be a complaint about “cultural appropriation.”
He should have hired a sound truck to blast “I’m proud to be an American” all day and all night on an endless loop. Even if you love the song, it will drive you crazy by the 200th time in a row.
Not to mention the Barney theme song.
Klezmer will drive the little protestor munchkins OUT of their minds.. especially the wind up Klezmer tunes that speed up and slow back down and twirl round and round.
Brilliant idea. Minor pentatonic them to death. Clarinet on steroids.
Here’s an example- put it on a loop and see how long any unlearned in the genre can stand it:

Better yet- play them Psalm 104 in Ancient Hebrew— really confuse the crap out of these bozos!:

Good point. All the band will need to be members of MS-13.
TRADITION!
I LOVE Klezmer music. Only thing better than listening to it is DANCING to it!
Include a Polka Band.

One way or the other.
