French Jewish DJ Barbara Butch is defiant after concert disrupted by anti-Israel protesters

Performer says attackers threw objects including glass bottles that shattered near her DJ console in Grenoble on Saturday; local far-left party official doubles down on boycott call
French Jewish DJ Barbara Butch's concert in Grenoble was disrupted by anti-Israel protesters, forcing her off stage after 20 minutes. Protesters, reportedly shouting insults and throwing objects, were led by Allan Brunon of the far-left France Unbowed party, who had called for her performance to be canceled due to her support for pro-Israel legislation and travel to Tel Aviv. The City of Grenoble filed a complaint, with Mayor Laurence Ruffin stating, “There were actions that are unacceptable.” Butch, who gained prominence at the Paris 2024 Olympics opening, vowed to return to the stage, stating, “I will return to the stage.” The incident has drawn widespread support for Butch from Jewish organizations and artists, who condemned the intimidation and violence.
