BBC rapped for removing musician’s anti-Israeli comments from performance
Britain’s Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) has condemned the BBC’s decision to censor a message of support for the Palestinians made during annual classical concerts at the Royal Albert Hall London. :: British violinist Nigel Kennedy told a cheering crowd at the end of a joint Proms performance with the Palestine Strings, a Palestinian group from the West Bank and Gaza, on August 8 that the concert showed how “giving equality and getting rid of apartheid gives a beautiful chance for things to happen”. The BBC has reportedly decided to remove Kennedy’s anti-Israeli statement from a recording of the Prom that is to be broadcast on BBC Four on Friday, August 23.
