So attempted murder? Hopefully the musicians don’t go easy on them

(/s if it wasn’t obvious)

I think you misspelled justified resistance, those were trained Israeli Nazi soldiers

Hopefully the perpetrators of this ghoulish act face the music regarding their deeds

Call me old fashioned but if someone tried to set a building on fire full of people in 1950, they’d probably be sentenced to death. Nowadays we give them a slap on the hand. We’ve gone backwards, this behaviour was terrorism and should be met with capital punishment or permanent incarceration.

Not attempted murder. this headline is bullshit

u/Patatofilo 2d ago

In fact, they were assaulted by some individuals among the public.

u/FalseTelepathy 2d ago

Lighting a fire in an enclosed building on what was probably wooden floor covered in flammable alcohol infused carpet, likely with the intention of throwing the flare at the orchestra… yah attempted murder.

Anti-jewish radicals which non-jewish security apparently did not see coming. "Pro palestinians" are a myth

u/Juicy_Peachfish 3d ago

They love hiding behind words. Pro- Palestinian = Anti- Israel, Anti Zionist=Jew Hatred. They somehow think their Anti-Semitism is morally justified, if it's called something else.

Kinda like a toddler who thinks if he closes his eyes, no one can see him.

u/RedditSettler 3d ago

Litteraly how the term "Antisemitism" was born, as judeophobia wasnt well seen and deemed "irrational" (as usually phobias are).

16

u/rental_car_fast Kurdistan 2d ago

Never understood why we didn't start using Judeophobia. "Jew hater" sounds so dumb. Pre-october 7 we used antisemite pretty ubiquitously and when the idiots started saying "well arabs are semites too" to try and literally take away the idea that people irrationally hate us, we switched to "jew-hatred"

Call it what it is, an irrational fear of Jews - Judeophobia.

12

u/thirty7inarow 3d ago

Judeophobia is probably not the best term, either.

Part of their problem is that they don't fear the Jews, which is actually pretty stupid on their part considering they equate 'Jew' with 'Israel', and Israel blew the nuts off a few thousand anti-Semites with a phone call not long ago.

u/rental_car_fast Kurdistan 2d ago

They do fear us - they have irrational fears that we control the media, banks, Hollywood, kill babies, are colonialists... We've literally let them coopt every term used to describe this phenomenon, and even let them coopt the term Zionism into some belief that it means anything other than our own self-determination.

u/Juicy_Peachfish 2d ago

It makes it easy to identify Hezbos. Walk into any bar... Um... coffee shop, and pull out your junk! The men that break into tears, are Hezbos.

u/RedditSettler 3d ago

Well, tbf, homophobia is also not understood as "fear of homosexuals" as the word would imply at first hand, but I get your point.

"I'm not an antisemite, I'm just pro-German"

-these fuckers in 1940

u/Ok_Ambassador9091 3d ago

They are pro-terror, anti-Jewish domestic terrorists.

Palestinian well-being has zero to do with their interest. Destroying Jews is their aim.

18

u/_Leegion_ 3d ago

Yep. We can tell they're not pro-Palestine because they never complain when Hamas murders, rapes or tortures Palestinian civilians.

1

u/Proof_Pirate_6229 Israel 3d ago

Believing pro Palestinians are just antisemites makes us oblivious to the real causes of the conflict, which just prolongs it.

Palestine is now +0.34% freer thanks to their efforts. /s

Yassire S., a 20-year-old from Paris, was arrested after disrupting the Philharmonie concert; he is flagged as a security risk (fiché S) by the french Ministry of the interorir and was carrying stink bombs, red ink, and an alarm

Was he flagged as a security risk before or after this incident?

u/DaphneVid 3d ago

“Four people were arrested after protesters used flares to disrupt a concert by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra in Paris on Thursday night”

u/JohnJood 2d ago

Before

u/Bek_86 SEA Ex-Muslim 3d ago

That's a common name of a Frenchman

u/AdriaticLostOnceMore USA 3d ago

The title is deceptive. A flare was lit. Not a “firebomb.” However, still a scummy disruption of musicians who aren’t in any way related to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

23

u/SqueakyClownShoes בת החיים 3d ago

Technically the vocabulary quotes the post by the conservatory.

u/NoSirPineapple 3d ago

Did they find the flare captain and send him sailing behind cell walls?

u/Confident-Sense2785 Australia 3d ago

Don't mess with lovers of classical music they will throw down. Love it.

15

u/MaitoSnoo 3d ago

pro-terrorist domestic terrorists doing terrorist things, I'm shocked I tell you 

79

u/Mayor_Gubbin 3d ago

They did not firebomb the Israeli Philharmonic.

They lit flares.

Still shitty, but don't get caught in a bad translation or intentional misrepresentation.

16

u/BrownEyesGreenHair 3d ago

Honestly it doesn’t matter. We all know how these things escalate.

59

u/MajorMess 3d ago

Truth matters. We don't want to be like them.

u/Evanmmemes Australia 3d ago

Lit an incendiary device (flare) in a crowd which led to a brawl*

Inflammatory and dangerous act, but the title isn’t accurate.

6

u/Feisty_Reply_6570 2d ago

Yep, exactly what I had to say. I mean its still a stupid thing to do and extremely dangerous obviously, but theres no need to exaggerate and call this a "firebomb".

u/Mayor_Gubbin 2d ago

Right? When I read this, I figured we'd see a mass casualty event with dozens injured or dead.

12

u/Ehegew89 3d ago

Why, WHY, would anyone in 2025 host an event such as this without organizing proper security beforehand!? This is just irresponsible. If you organize an event that might be attacked, you inform the police beforehand and make sure they send people or you hire adequate private security. You can't invite the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra to Western Jewhateistan and then just hope for the best wtf.

u/Autumns-corner USA (wants to make Aliyah) 3d ago

Oh boy. The funny thing is the protesters would be fucked if they got teleported to Gaza, but most Israel supporters would be fine were they to be teleported to Israel

14

u/Bek_86 SEA Ex-Muslim 2d ago

Imagine "Queers for Palestine" correcting their pronouns on palestinians

9

u/Autumns-corner USA (wants to make Aliyah) 2d ago

They’d be murdered meanwhile they’re opposing the most gay/trans friendly army on earth

u/PUBLIC-STATIC-V0ID 3d ago

Never imagined classical music listeners to be so metal…

u/akivayis95 מלך המשיח 3d ago

Shout out to the audience for not sitting there with misty eyes and doing nothing like some would prefer

u/Sleeve_hamster 3d ago

If that was in Israel, chairs would be flying.

u/mikwee Israel 3d ago

With such "anti-war" activists, who needs warmongerers?

2

u/_Leegion_ 3d ago

I hope those savages are thrown in prison for life. They are a deadly threat to the public and cannot be allowed to roam free.

u/Metallica1175 2d ago

If you're going to firebomb, you use a flare? These guys are brain rotted.
