Ibrahim Maalouf and Djamil Le Schlag: two artists and the same courage in the face of pro-Israeli censorship

ByMuhammad

The first is a classical trumpet virtuoso, the second an indescribable comedian, and both demonstrate the same courage in the face of the pro-Israeli censorship which is rampant in France, more or less sneakily, on the public stage as on the film sets. television, behind the scenes of show business and the antechambers of power, in the spotlight or in the shadow of the spotlight…

Ibrahim Maalouf and Djamil Le Schlag certainly cannot be accused of careerists. They are of a completely different caliber, that of the heroes of the artistic world, rare enough to be saluted, who refuse to bow down and remain silent, in this case on the subject of the unspeakable: the unbearable genocide. committed by Israel in Gaza, in full view of everyone, and worse still, in defiance of repeated UN calls for a ceasefire.

Faced with a political-media microcosm which pushes cynicism to the point of minimizing the horror of the massacre of the martyred population of Gaza, categorically refuting the qualification of “genocide” in order to better absolve the Israeli apartheid state of the atrocity of his abuses, Ibrahim Maalouf and Djamil Le Schlag defy censorship with panache.

The first launched “ Boycott me! I am Lebanese, I lived through the 2006 war, where Israel bombed for 1 month », when the second, at the height of corrosive humor, slammed the door of France Inter live, not without showing his support for his colleague in the turmoil, Guillaume Meurice. He was fired after daring to compare Netanyahu, the butcher of Gaza, to “a kind of Nazi but without foreskin “.
