Have We Grown Numb to Runaway Censorship?
Matisyahu gets canceled, again and too many press outlets look away
Another day, another artist learns the show won’t go on.
Matisyahu knows the feeling.
The rapper has already seen two of his 2024 gigs get canceled. Now, his sold-out show at Chicago’s House of Blues is off the schedule.
There’s little mystery in play.
Matisyahu is Jewish and supports Israel. Anti-semitism flowered after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks that left 1,200 Israelis dead and hundreds taken as hostages. It shows no sign of abating.
The singer’s cancelations came after a combination of protest threats and/or workers refusing to do their jobs when the singer came to town.
Let’s call it what it is. Cowardly. Hateful. Anti-American. Anti-free speech. Antisemitic.
