  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    A cast member on Saturday night unfolded a Palestinian flag on stage during a Royal Opera House production.

    The incident took place during the encore of Il trovatore at the London venue and attempts were made to remove the flag, which was resisted.

    Adele Thomas’ production is a reinterpretation of a story of desire and an all-consuming curse told over two hours and 30 minutes.

    A member of the audience told the Telegraph: “At the Royal Opera House, one of the cast unfurled a Palestinian flag at the encore. “Someone from the opera house/company then came on stage from the wings to try to remove the flag from the cast member who wrestled it back and refused to give it up during Il trovatore.”

    Another on X on Saturday added: “Extraordinary scenes at the Royal Opera House tonight.

    “During the curtain call for Il trovatore one of the background artists came on stage waving a Palestine flag. Just stood there, no bowing or shouting. Someone off stage kept trying to take it off him. Incredible.”

  3. Where is the support for the Druze and Christians being genocide in syria? We have actually given millions to support a genocidal government.

  5. This is why we can’t have nice things anymore, absolutely wankpuffin

  10. This shit is a trend at this point. First BLM, then Ukraine, and now Palestine. Wonder what next big thing these people will flock to next.

  11. I am sure Palestinians love opera performers and wouldn’t throw them off a roof
