The basic premise is that of banning an artist because of their political views. I mean, isn't this just a variation of McCarthyism? Pedophila, etc. is an actual crime, with physical elements of attack involved. But, words, speeches and opinions...slippery slope. Thought police stuff.Apply these types of judgements historically, and we wipe out half the population of the Classical Music genre!:-)
And what of this statement?...
"Mr. Gelb added that the policy would be in effect "until the invasion and killing has been stopped, order has been restored, and restitutions have been made."
After that, it's all okey-dokey?
