The fire behind the smoke bombs

This text, originally published by André Markowicz on his Facebook page, looks back at the violent interruptions that occurred on Thursday, November 6, during the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra’s concert at the Paris Philharmonic. Markowicz questions the political logic behind these actions and shows how, behind the slogan of boycott, criticism of a state can sometimes shift to the designation of a people “as one entity”.
