I think that Mel has already suggested that while we can heartily agree on 
the responsibility of musicians to speak out when antisemitism is 
encountered, there will be many instances where perceptions as to what is 
actual antisemitism will differ. I would hope that we can agree on the 
general without arguing out each specific. This list is definitely not the 
place to work that out. It is an important question, but not one for this 
forum.

If that can be taken offline to private e-mail, it will be much appreciated.
