They turned the audience pro-Israel
I've seen some gloating from pro-'Palestinian' groups around the web over the fact that the BBC took the Israel Philharmonic off the air during their 'protest' on Thursday night, but the pro-'Palestinians' might be wise to lower their profile. Those who were present at the concert said that the entire audience turned pro-Israel as a result. Wouldn't it be something if the entire BBC audience did the same? The protesters' despicable antics could yet prove counterproductive. There were six interruptions - but seven standing ovations (hat tip: Richard Millett).Jonathan Hoffman has more:
Indeed, Britain's Culture Minister, Ed Vaizey, who attended the concert, tweeted: "Demonstrators seem to have turned entire audience pro Israel".
The PSC cultural terrorists included all the usual suspects who picket Ahava in Monmouth Street every fortnight. Deborah Fink was there in disguise, presumably because she thought she is so infamous that security would spot her - she had her hair swept back and dyed grey. Bruce Levy - who has been banned by the police from Monmouth Street where Ahava is located, for his loutish behaviour - also attempted to disguise himself, by growing a beard. (Finkler Jew Levy famously said that Gilad Shalit should be dug up and then reburied). The PSC Jew haters tried to stop me doing an interview with the BBC outside the Hall after the concert, by yelling and screaming. If you can't win an argument try censorship - that's the way these Stalinists operate.And I thought it was all the Muslims in London who were demonstrating for the 'Palestinians.' Silly me. I should have known better.
The applause at the end of the Bruch Violin Concerto - before the interval - was tumultuous and soloist Gil Shaham even played an encore. I was told that the applause at the end of the concert was every bit as enthusiastic.
Whata shame that the audience's enthusiasm for the IPO could not include the waving of Israeli flags - which had been banned by the Hall, along with all leaflets and other flags. (I waved a flag at the cultural bigots of the PSC but was asked to leave).
There's a video from the BBC in Portuguese in which Hoffman appears here.

is misleading!
The audience was ALREADY pro Israel as it comprised of Jews and Christian Zionists. Thus the protesters didn't "turn" anyone.

It seemed peaceful enough outside. Jewish groups waving Israeli flags were joined by pro-Israel Christian supporters outside the Albert Hall last night as they welcomed the Israeli Philharmonic prom. But as a kilted Israel supporter danced in the street, no-one could have anticipated the havoc caused moments later inside the hall, as Palestinian supporters leaped up from every part of the building, screaming anti-Israel slogans and disrupting the entire concert.
And I thought it was all the Muslims in London who were demonstrating for the 'Palestinians.' Silly me. I should have known better.
The BDS movement has Sabeel (a Christian group) behind it, which enjoys the support of the worlds Christian community, particularly in the USA and Britian.
There are of course Muslims and Jews and others who join in the protests and the boycott movements, but the movement is primarlily Christian led.
The Arab American lobby in the USA you wrote about below, has a Christian Arab at it's head, (James Zogby). In fact most of the Arabs who are rabble rousing against Israel in the USA are wrongly labelled "Muslim" when in fact they are Christian Arabs, who have little sympathy for Islam.
So much for your battle with Islam, which will come to a spectacular head in the near future. Zionist extremists will rue the day, they had wet dreams of destroying Islam.
Carl, I hope that you find Chayma's paranoid delusions enlightening and revealing.
