MONTREAL — A Jewish group is calling on a Montreal venue to cancel a performance by a French rapper whose music it describes as “openly antisemitic and hateful.”
B’nai Brith Canada sent a letter on Friday to the owners of L’Olympia theatre in Montreal, urging them to cancel a Dec. 4 show by musician Freeze Corleone.
“Mr. Corleone is openly antisemitic and hateful,” read the letter signed by Marvin Rotrand, the national director of B’nai Brith’s League of Human Rights.
From Ladepche – The musician is accused of “apologizing for Nazism and anti-Semitism” in the texts of his songs. The rapper praises Adolf Hitler and Mullah Omar, before attacking the Jewish community.
