A Muslim mob violently protested outside the performance of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Tuesday this week. Footage circulated online shows the protesters breaking through the venue's fence and clashing with security forces, who managed to repel them, and the concert proceeded without interruption. The protest was held against the backdrop of Bocelli's public support for Israel and his performance in Tel Aviv before an audience that included Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. After the outbreak of the 'Swords of Iron' war, the singer met with former hostage Yaffa Adar, who told him that humming his songs helped her maintain her sanity in Gaza. Bocelli sent her a personal letter, invited her and her family to a performance, and covered the expenses. He and his wife hosted at their home in Miami Segev Kalfon, who was released after 738 days in Hamas captivity. Last month, the BDS movement in Jordan called for a boycott of Bocelli's planned performance in Petra in November.
