Eagles of Death Metal: Galt of terrorist attack Israel? – THE WORLD

We do not know much. We have to lead us again and again before our eyes. It is a moral obligation, a Enthaltsamkeitsregel that everyone must now impose, because any careless interpretation, any speculation unleashed spirits that we not get rid of. The politicization and instrumentalisation of everything that has to do with Israel, is one of them.

On the evening of July 12 the Eagles of Death Metal played a concert in Tel Aviv’s Barby Club. It was 31 degrees, the Barby Club is a rough, sweaty multifunction scales in the trendy South of Tel Aviv, between warehouses and electricity pylons. Now the site fits into the topography of the tragedy – he is a signifier in important network of terror. Because Jesse Hughes, the singer of the Eagles of Death Metal, called on that July evening at the audience: “I would never a place like this boycott!”

He referred to the fact that more and more artists and intellectuals to boycott the country, so do not play concerts there, do not show their works, do not visit it. The Jewish-American musician Matisyahu had recently suffered an absurd outgrowth of this attitude, as a Spanish reggae festival required him to sign a statement in favor of the Palestinian state -. And auslud him when he refused

The reactions behave

The question is what did the murderer on the Bataclan and the Eagles of Death Metal, is being intensively discussed in Germany , Again and again, will be written as sophisticated are the methods of the IS, how tempting is its propaganda. Almost as if you admire the terrorists a little.

Galt this stop Israel? Have the terrorists the Bataclan chosen as a target because they considered it a center of Zionist activities? Because they knew of the annual fundraising event for the Magav, the Israeli Border Guard, which took place there? Probably. The Bataclan has experienced threats of violence since 2008 repeatedly. At that time a group of ten passed with “Palestinian scarves” hooded men, they declared: “. Next time we will not get to talk to” The eerie scene you can watch online.

But also have the pro-Israeli remarks made by Jesse Hughes played a role? We do not know it. When speaking of these days left Israelis and asks them what they think of the reactions are behaving strangely. Rumors were that it should indeed help anyone if we say now:. “You see, the Palestinians are to blame”. The games the hardliners in his hands and was not BEYOND. If one searches the English and Hebrew-speaking Israeli media, one finds very little about the statements made by Hughes. They are mentioned, clear as well as the Zionist events in Bataclan are subject. But in contrast to Germany, there are in Israel not have a debate about that.

A messianic album

The ” taz “has just published an article in which it is a charming and megalomaniacal manifestation of Hughes in an interview with the” politicized Rolling Stone “. Hughes had said, the world would it be better off if a new album of Eagles of Death Metal appears that human rights are respected worldwide, women and gays treated better. . Even the Middle East, he said

In France, the ultra-right Ligue Defense Juive declared immediately after the attacks: “Pro-Palestinian groups, the concert hall than ‘Zionist ‘referred to, and now we see the result “

. The Israelis but do not need well-intentioned rights, who say:” As you see where it’s going, if you can grant the Palestinians. ” And they do not need any well-meaning left, leading the boycott movements against their country. Maybe they need the new album by the Eagles of Death Metal. It is supposed to act world-improving.
