French Jewish DJ Barbara Butch defiant after concert disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters
Butch has also drawn support from Jewish activists who demonstrated outside the office of the far-left party whose top Grenoble official called for her performance to be canceled.
French Jewish DJ Barbara Butch's concert in Grenoble was disrupted by pro-Palestinian activists, forcing her off stage. The City of Grenoble filed a complaint, citing violence and sabotage. Butch, who gained prominence at the Paris 2024 Olympics opening, stated she was frightened and vowed, "I will return to the stage." The disruption followed calls to boycott her due to her support for pro-Israel legislation and travel to Tel Aviv, with Grenoble's far-left official Allan Brunson leading the effort. Jewish organizations, including CRIF and the European Jewish Congress, expressed solidarity, while Brunson received support from anti-Zionist French Jews. This incident is part of a pattern of intimidation against Butch, who previously filed complaints after receiving death threats.
