@1994antmfam: Have done a lot of research already. Can't see how anyone with an open, honest mind can condone Israel's policy towards the Palestinians. Take my word for it: history will repeat itself: the WALL will FALL.

@14Friendsofpalestine: Looking forward to your video. Let us know when you launch it.

@historicrecord: You already disqualify yourself by your choice of hate-filled words in your rant about 'Nazi style cultural boycotts', so no comment needed. As for 'POOR BEETHOVAN' - his name was in fact Ludvig VAN BeethoVEN'. No, he didn't identify with Arab extremism. There was no such thing in his day and everything Ottoman/Turkish was very popular. Like Mozart, he composed a Turkish march. You'll find many renderings on the web. Have a listen. It may help mend your cultural deficit.

Kobyisraelite have posted a (rather belated) video response to our video. It's quite funny really, and, as one comment has it. slightly pornographic. Their message isn't very clear, and of course they lack the weight and gravitas of our classical style. So I'm not going to post it here, but if you want to see it go to: Kobyisraelite's videos on YouTube. Willem

To menodimi (is that a fancy variant of 'dimwit'?) and his 16 or so comments: I get your (tirelessly repeated) message. Sorry I thought or suggested there are or ever were any Palestinians anywhere. Must have been a figment of my imagination. Next time I campaign for anything I'll go for something more substantial, like fairies, pixies, angels or garden gnomes.

To those FEW who posted abusive comments (you know who you are!): the fact that you resort to expletives shows that you don't have an argument. WE have the moral high ground, the political arguments AND all the best tunes. BTW, almost half of us are Jewish and proud to oppose Israel's despicable policies - we are not self-hating Jews and we are most definitely NOT anti-semites. Some of YOUR comments are distinctly racist. So next time THINK before you respond! Get well soon!. Willem

Free Palestine .

End Israeli Apartheid now: with a musical accompaniment if possible.

A PRAYER FOR PALESTINE FROM A JEW:Let us help them to create something extraordinary,just as we have for ourselves-it is in our best interest to do so! Let us help them to build a home they will love with all their hearts,as we love Israel with all of ours.! Let's teach each other how to win non-zero sum games. We are both great nations-let us never forget this!Let us nurture peace with both our enemies and our friends, and recognize that they are a mirror...reflecting light unto the nations

@wjmeijs That is because your research has obviously been one sided.

[1994antmfan]

i advice you to do some research around the middle eastern conflict

Thanks, Beethovians! Hope we are not infringing any copyright rules by using Sue's words, along with two new verses, for our own boycott action coming up next month. Watch for a new video coming out soon...... Beethoven's Boycott Ode going worldwide.:)

POOR BEETHOVAN - i'm sure he didn;t identify with Arab Nationalist extremism as this image infers-
