Klinghoffer Mock Playbill and ZOA Insert Why Death of Klinghoffer" is a Moral Atrocity
http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/10/klinghoffer-mock-playbill-and-insert.html
If you can, please be there tonight, 5:30-7:30 as well as any other performance night of "The Death of Klinghoffer" at Lincoln Center West 64th Street and Broadway to hand out mock playbills based on accurate historical facts unlike the Opera itself. If you can't, please forward the link and the PDF attachments and educate those who are ignorant as per the uncomfortable truth of the real not fictitious cast of characters of this Opera. Thank you! Yasher Koach!
Rabbanim: This much more than just about an Opera. The Palestinians have stolen our Jewish Heritage with a false narrative. For example Mother Rachel buried in Bethleham in Rachel's Tomb is apparently Palestinian. Please read David Bedein's Rachel's Tomb Hijacked - Israel Behind The News http://israelbehindthenews.com/rachels-tomb-hijacked/12006/ . The Palestinians claim that the Akeida, the sacrifice of Isaac on Temple Mount was Ishmael not Isaac. In the UN, Jewish Heritage sites are Muslim sites. Klinghoffer Opera is a mere tip of the iceberg. False Islamic narratives have taken over elementary school textbooks and college campuses with the lie of "Israel's occupation". Journalist Hillel Fendel noted that the State Dept spokesman keeps referring to Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount, over and over - and never calls it Har HaBayit!
This lie is then repeated as fact by President Obama, former President Jimmy Carter, the UN, the State Dept., the IRS and trickled down by our fellow liberal left wing Jews like Nathan Guttman of the Jewish Forwards http://forward.com/articles/208239/should-us-block-charity-aid-to-israeli-settlers/. Guttman takes it as a fact that the settlers of Judea and Samaria are "lllegal Occupiers". He simply ignores the Bible, the Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, he ignores history and how nations are born after wars are fought and he ignores international law.
Would Guttman be passive if someone decided that his house didn't belong to him and that his deed is irrelevant? How would he respond if the Palestinians claimed his home as theirs and accused him of occupying it illegally. Will he take kindly to their offer to allow him to turn his kitchen into a museum during negotiations! However, since he is occupying their home illegally, then surely he has the nerve to suggest that the kitchen be used as a soup kitchen with American taxpayer dollar funding.
Read Edwin Black's book "Financing the Flames". Surely, American Tax payer dollars are needed to support the salaries of the Palestinian terrorists http://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2014/06/fwd-irs-targeting-pro-israel-groups.html, and to whomever the terrorist designate, like the x wife of Samir Kuntar, the terrorist for whom this hijacking of the Achille Lauro was staged. Please visit Samir Kuntar From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samir_Kuntar. Read about his treatment in prison.
Treatment in prison[edit]
During his imprisonment, Kuntar married Kifah Kayyal (born in 1963), an Israeli Arab woman who is an activist on behalf of militant prisoners. They later divorced. While they were married, she received a monthly stipend from the Israeli government, an entitlement due to her status as a wife of a prisoner.[19] Kayyal is an Israeli citizen of Palestinian origin from Acre, now residing in Ramallah, who was then serving a life sentence for her activities in the Palestine Liberation Front.[24] They had no children. In addition, while in prison Kuntar participated in a program under which Palestinian security prisoners took online courses from the Open University of Israel, and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Social and Political Science.[25]
Here are the facts! (see mock playbill, the one the Met doesn't want you to know about)
Samir Kuntar (born in Lebanon), the release of whom was the main goal of the Achille Lauro hijacking, was imprisoned in Israel for one of the most brutal terror attacks recorded in Israeli history. The date of the terror attack, April 22, 1979, followed the ratification of the Camp David Peace Accords by the Israeli Knesset. Kuntar led PLF terrorists, Abdel Majeed Aslan, Muhanna Salim Al-Muayyad, and Ahmad Al-Abras from Southern Lebanon into Northern Israel by sea.
The goal of the operation was to kill civilians in the city of Nahariya. They first killed a policeman, Eliyahu Shahar. The terrorists then entered a residential building and invaded the apartment of the Haran family. They took 31- year -old Danny Haran hostage and slaughtered him along with his four- year-old daughter, Einat. Kuntar smashed the little girl's head on a rock with his rifle.
Danny's wife, Smadar Haran, managed to hide in a crawl space above the bedroom with her two- year- old daughter, Yael, and a neighbor. Tragically, Yael was suffocated as her mother sought to prevent her from making noise as they hid from Kuntar. Several years later, Abu Abbas masterminded the hijacking of the Achille Lauro, demanding that Israel release Kuntar along with 49 other terrorists.
On July 16, 2008, Hezbollah exchanged the remains of two kidnapped Israeli soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, for Kuntar and four other prisoners. Kuntar is hailed as a hero by Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and is now organizing a Hezbollah terror cell on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.

Dear Friends of Israel and the Jewish People,
Thousands of opera-goers have tickets to upcoming performances of "The Death of Klinghoffer," the last performances of which are occurring on November 5, 8, 11, and 15. The opera will be educating these patrons with distorted information and perceptions about Israeli history, the terrorists involved in the murder of Leon Klinghoffer (z"l), and the reason for the hijacking.
Our primary goal now is to offset the effect of the propaganda promoted in the opera by the distribution of mock "playbills." This effort began as of the first performance on Oct. 20th. This is our chance to connect with the Met patrons who chose to attend this opera and possibly nullify the propaganda to which they have been exposed. We've attached the four page "playbill" and the double-sided insert.
Almost 2,000 mock "playbills" have been distributed since the first "Klinghoffer" performance on October 20th. You should know that among those who are attending the opera are music students, musicologists, professors, people who have flown in from other states because the simulcast was cancelled, people who are simply "curious" because of the controversy surrounding the opera, and those who are heeding Peter Gelb's advice to "see it and decide for yourself." They are eager to find out what the "upset" is all about. Most who are offered the "playbill" are eager to read its contents. Many are not aware of the misinformation, omitted information, and subtle messages that are intrinsic to this opera.
