Bigotry in the Windy City: Jewish Hip-Hop Artist Alleges Chicago POLITICIANS Shut Down Show

Twitchy

Jewish reggae/hip-hop artist Matisyahu recently had shows in Arizona and New Mexico canceled last minute over safety concerns and 'staff shortages'. A vocal supporter of Israel, who has been outspoken in the wake of the 10/7 terror attacks, Matisyahu thinks there's more at play than just issues with the venue. Pro-Hamas groups planned to protest outside at least one of the venues.

TheFire.org gives background on the canceled shows:

Jewish reggae and hip-hop artist Matisyahu made headlines last week after two of his upcoming live performances were suddenly canceled — one at the Rialto Theatre in Tucson, Arizona, and the other at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The venues cited “safety concerns” and “staff shortages” when they pulled the plug mere hours before the shows were about to begin.

But Matisyahu believes his speech was the real reason behind it.

A vocal supporter of Israel, the singer’s commentary since the events of October 7 drew the ire of pro-Palestine activists, who planned to protest outside at least one of the venues during his performance. Matisyahu believes the threat of a protest likely contributed to these last-minute staffing issues.

Here is that statement:

And now Matisyahu thinks aldermen in Chicago did the same thing to his planned show there.

This is an escalation of the 'heckler's veto', a nefarious form of censorship.

Given the past cancellations, it's very likely the allegations are true.

Yes, it does.

He's Jewish and openly supports Israel. These days, that's enough to be 'controversial', according to the Left. 

Why? Because Chicago aldermen can pull their licenses and shut their venue down if they don't. That's why.

And that's part of the problem here.

It's the Chicago way.

Nope. It's very clear how it happened.

Yes.

Antisemitism is big in the Windy City, apparently.

He should.

Long past time.

The Left are fascists.

And this is what progressives do.

Yes. And he should sue. 

There is no excuse for this. Not 'safety' not 'staffing.' If the politicians in Chicago pressured the venue and promoter to cancel this show, they should be held accountable and made to answer why. Then they should be voted out of office and sued into oblivion.
