Flanders Festival Ghent says it made decision over lack of ‘clarity’ about incoming conductor Lahav Shani’s views.

While Shani had spoken in favour of “peace and reconciliation” in the past, his attitude towards the “genocidal regime in Tel Aviv” was unclear given his role as the chief conductor of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, the festival organisers said.

    i said maybe, not every Israeli is responsible for their fascist state, but shit, a lot of them are, even the liberals who always were just fascists and now have no problem with the genocide in Gaza.

    I would know, i have to interact with them every day.

    I never had any power or representation though, and was always against all of this even if I’m not really active, always concerned with survival and escape, so i don’t think a person like myself is responsible, I’m not gonna point a finger at any powerless person that has to look at this shit from the inside.

    So yeah, maybe, it depends.
