The decision of the most prestigious opera house in America to produce an opera that mainstreams Jew-hatred and anti-Jewish terrorism is a great victory for elitist anti-Semitism. In the world of elite anti-Semitism, Jews are told that truth is but a narrative. Jewish history and rights have no more merit – indeed less merit – than the lies of Jew-haters. And if Jews dare to object to the propagation of lies against them, they open themselves to the easy accusation that they seek to stifle free speech.
The goal of elitist anti-Semitism is to erode the right of Jews to have and promote Jewish rights and interests. This is done by demonizing those who defend Jewish rights and advance Jewish interests, while elevating and romanticizing the lives and largely false narratives of those who seek to destroy Israel.
The Met’s singular contribution to the cause of elitist anti-Semitism is the prestige its production of The Death of Klinghoffer confers on the cause.
Another dam has been breached. Another safe zone has become a no-go zone.
On the other hand, at the end of the day, as bad as elitist anti-Semitism is, over the past decade or so, American Jews have developed tools to deal with it.
In the weeks that preceded the opera’s opening last Monday night, much – although not all – of the Jewish community in New York was able to unify in opposing it. Politicians and luminaries joined with more than a thousand protesters on opening night to express their revulsion at the opera.
And the Met has already paid a price for its elevation of anti-Semitism to high art.
Far from living up to its reputation as a leader in the arts, on Monday, due to the massive protest against the production, the Met lost its artistic credibility. The crowd that gave the opera a standing ovation didn’t do so because they had just experienced a musical masterpiece. They stood and cheered because they were happy the Met elevated murderous, Jew-hating terrorists, whom they support.
One of the novel aspects of the opposition to the production was an action taken Monday by the Zionist Organization of America. Hours before the opera began, the ZOA issued a press release demanding that major Jewish donors to the Met, including the Michael Bloomberg LP company, the Annenberg Foundation, the Neubauer Family Foundation and the Toll Brothers Foundation, account for their decision not to revoke their multimillion dollar support for the opera house.
The ZOA’s move is important because as Jews see more and more public support for the denial of Jewish rights and interests, it will become increasingly important to call to account those backing institutions that advance this growing trend toward Jewish disenfranchisement.
The ZOA’s move was important as well because it points us in a useful direction for dealing with a second and increasingly prominent form of anti-Semitism in the US and Canada. That form is violent anti-Semitism.
Increasingly, anti-Semites in the US are adopting brownshirt tactics to violently advance their goal of removing Jews from the public square and intimidating others into boycotting Israel and those who support it.
Take just a few examples in recent weeks. In late September, several hundred anti-Semitic rioters at the Port of Oakland prevented longshoremen from unloading cargo from the Israeli cargo ship Zim Shanghai. According to media reports, there were 50 policemen from the Oakland police force on the scene, but their presence did not stop the rioters or enable the longshoremen to offload the cargo.
None of the anti-Semites were arrested. Zim Shanghai was forced to leave the port with its cargo and sail on to Los Angeles.
The group that organized the assault on the Zim ship calls itself Block the Boat for Gaza. It operates through its Facebook page where it openly organizes violent assaults on Israeli shipping. Another assault is planned, according to its Facebook page, for October 25.
A previous assault in August, during Operation Protective Edge, also took place with police presence and nonintervention. The Zim Piraeus was forced as well to pull anchor with its cargo and sail on to Los Angeles.
Block the Boat for Gaza is supported by another group called Arab Resource and Organizing Center.
On October 8, the Brooklyn Nets played an exhibition game against Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Barclay Center in downtown Brooklyn. The event was a benefit for Friends of the IDF. Twelve IDF soldiers wounded during Operation Protective Edge were guests at the event.
About a hundred anti-Semitic rioters organized outside the event. They were members of variety of organizations reportedly including Jewish Voices for Peace, Adalah – New York, and the Direct Action for Palestine.
After the event, a number of the rioters accosted Leonard Petlakh, the director of a local Jewish community center, as he was leaving the arena with his two young sons. According to The Forward, they shouted, “Free Palestine,” and, “Your people are murderers.” And then one of them punched him in the face, breaking his nose.
The assailant was arrested. But strangely, he was not charged with committing a hate crime despite the clear anti-Semitic character of his crime.
On October 5, hours after the end of Yom Kippur, swastikas were painted on the walls of AEPi Jewish fraternity at Emory University near Atlanta.
Swastikas were also painted at the Yale University campus. In July, mailboxes of AEPi members at University of Oregon were defaced with swastikas.
In August, a Jewish student at Temple University was assaulted by a member of Students for Justice for Palestine.
In a video filmed at the national convention of AEPi and posted on YouTube two weeks ago, members of AEPi from campuses around the US and Canada shared the stories of anti-Semitic assaults they and their friends suffer regularly on their campuses. The attacks described included, among other things, violent assaults.
Gideon Rafal, the president of AEPi at University of Arizona, described how he was assaulted while trying to prevent a group of 20 Jew-hating thugs from forcing their way into his fraternity house.
Rafal said he was struck from behind and lost consciousness.
The injuries he sustained during the assault included a skull fracture, bleeding in the brain, a concussion and a lower back fracture. He says that he was hospitalized for three weeks, spending 10 days in the intensive care unit.
Rafal did not say who the assailants were or what legal measures were taken against them or what organization if any, they were associated with.
Other students described threats against Jewish students manning a table for Birthright Israel programs at Loyola University in Chicago, and the assault of a Jewish female student at University of California at Santa Cruz.
Shane, a student at University of Calgary, described how he, his mother and sister were violently assaulted for counter-protesting at an anti-Israel protest. The group that sponsored the anti-Israel protest and whose members attacked him and his family is an official campus organization.
Shane said he fears for his life as he walks through campus.
In recent years it has become apparent that university campuses have become breeding grounds for anti-Semitism. The incidents described by the Jewish students who attended the AEPi convention indicate that the anti-Israel propaganda taught in the classrooms is increasingly being translated into anti-Jewish violence outside of them.
The major American Jewish organizations were incompetent to contend with anti-Israel incitement as it became a major force in university classrooms some 15 years ago. Jewish students found themselves with few communal resources to rely on when they suddenly and unexpectedly found themselves at the front lines of the anti-Semitic battle against Jewish rights.
New groups like Stand with Us and Hasbara Fellowships were formed to fill the vacuum. CAMERA, ZOA and other major groups have in recent years invested massive efforts into empowering students to stand up to this incitement.
But today, as anti-Semites on and off campus increasingly resort to brownshirt tactics, the American Jewish community again finds itself without the means to contend with a new challenge.
And this brings us back to the ZOA’s naming the names of Jewish philanthropists still supporting the Met.
The organizations involved in intimidating Jews and assaulting Jews on and off campus who support Israel are not interested in dialogue. Groups that organize to prevent the conduct of normal commercial relations between Israel and the US are not concerned with whether or not they are considered mainstream. The goal of these groups is to intimidate and terrorize the American and Canadian publics into silence as they make it impossible for Israel and its supporters to have a place in the public square.
Educational efforts are of little value in contending with thugs. But this doesn’t mean that there is nothing to be done. Groups like Block the Boat for Gaza, Students for Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voices for Peace, Adalah, the Arab Resource and Organizing Center and Direct Action for Palestine need to be investigated.
Where does their money come from? Who are their leaders? What are their ties to terrorist groups? What are their ties to organized labor? What are their ties to politicians? What is their tax status and what do their tax returns say? If members of various groups are intimidating Jewish students then there should be restraining orders against them. Criminal complaints should be filed against them. Their tax-exempt status should be challenged.
Jewish students should be demanding that Students for Justice in Palestine be expelled from their campuses along with other hate groups, like Jewish Voices for Peace. Jewish alumni should be organizing to withhold all donations from universities that permit anti-Semitic groups to operate on campus. And Jewish lawyers should be filing lawsuits against universities and other institutions that enable the operation of anti-Semitic groups on their premises.
If Jewish students complain that they feel threatened on campus, then lawsuits should filed against the universities for engendering a threatening atmosphere against them.
Politicians who support or, when asked, fail to condemn these groups, individuals and their actions as racist and bigoted should be called out for their behavior. Police departments like the Oakland police department that do nothing to stop rioters from preventing the lawful, unfettered operation of a major US port should be subjected to public and legal scrutiny.
The challenge of anti-Semitism in North America is growing and mutating by the day. Jews in America and Canada need to adapt quickly to changing circumstances. Reasonably, American Jews have no interest in aping the hateful tactics of anti-Semites to fight them. But an aggressive campaign of legal, political, social and financial opposition to those who seek to demonize Jews and deny Jews civil rights as Jews as well as those who enable them can go a long way toward making members of these hate groups and their supporters rue the day they decided to go after the Jews.

@ SHmuel HaLevi 2:
I believe you. I have heard the same from another person who was living many, many years in Israel.
The left brought Arafat from Tunisia and the formation of the PLO was done not for anyone’s benefit. The only ones to benefit from this were Arafat and his compinches. They became millionaires. Smelly vermin. The same with Hamas. From poor thugs to instant millionaires. The left benefits from it. The Oslo accords and all that manure has enriched everyone connected to a peace accords that is only a mirage.
The West keep giving and they continue the charade. It is a CASH COW benefiting all the crooks and the UN.
BTW I can’t stand Livni. Her face looks like a dirty rag with chronic constipation.
@ keelie:
Here is your answer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4XOPtflWYM
3,000 people are not patrons. Of the people who attended the performance only a very small percentile are patrons (supporters) about 50% of the people in attendance are subscribers. The rest just bought individual tickets.
I agree with Samuel. I’ll get a list of the patrons and would never let them set foot in Israel. These people are useless and are not good enough not even as hygienic paper.
Another point is: the amount of plainclothes security which is strong in any given day is stronger when a foreign dignitary or president of a country is in attendance. The night in question it was an army of them. They would be more useful watching our tunnels and bridges. I stopped going to the Met two years after the AH became general director. Since, I have not contribute a penny to the place. Neither will I contribute anything in the future.
Unfortunately, as yamit82 said, the production and protests have given them enough FREE advertisement for the Gelb to benefit from it. They have been near bankruptcy in the last few years product of the stupid administration.
Will not buy any recordings done during the present administration either. I apologize to honeybee because I like her and know she means well. Her intentions are always the best. If truly she was about to be apprehended and she was with me. As old as I am I’ll bite the policeman. Still spunk left in me. No more discussions about this piece of manure Gelb.

M Devolin Said:
I know the feeling, just had an awakening tonight. recently I posted an updated article on the Argentinean govs. negotiating with Iran with regards to the Jews murdered by Iran. Yamit reminded me it was old news but for some reason it has kept bugging me, until tonight, now it is really bugging me.
what I realized is that it is much bigger than a gov negotiation, it is actually a milestone pointing out that the current anti semitic global wave has reached a new significant stage recalling the holocaust.
If they were not Jews I cannot imagine that the Argentinean government would not have angrily pursued the murdering state who slaughtered their citizens on their own soil. It would demand the guilty parties or go to war. The government has sold its Jews to the new Nazis just as the Europeans did, they are saying it is alright to come and slaughter Jews in Argentina.
Also, It is not just the Argentinean gov which has abandoned its Jews to be slaughtered by Iran but it is also ALL the Argentinean people who appear to have no outrage for the Iran state slaughter of their Jews. I believe the Argentinians would not accept this if it were non-Jewish Argentinians.
It is unprecedented and unimaginable that a nation would negotiate with a state who intentionally committed murder on their soil, except if it is Jews. In my view this is a better justification to nuke Iran as reprisal. This is the same as the Nazi Germans who demanded the Jews of the nations they conquered to be delivered for slaughter but in this case the new Nazis have not even conquered Argentina and Argentina is already delivering its Jews to be slaughtered by Iran, and who else next?
I don’t believe the world nor the Jews have realized the significance of this development. It has been accepted with hardly a complaint that a Nation can negotiate with other Nations to slaughter their Jews. A precedent has been set by stealth that is more onerous than Vichy handing his Jews to the Nazis,at least France had been conquered and under occupation. This is just a deal to sell the Jews and an invitation to repeat the process there and elsewhere.
“The reasons these confrontations against Jews occur is because Jews allow them to happen.”
I just can’t get my head around this one. I agree that antisemites must be dealt with severely, but I also believe that just because every Jew doesn’t have all the time in the world to confront every antisemite does not mean antisemitism is the fault of those Jews who don’t confront it. I’m reminded of the Yiddish proverb, “An antisemite is someone who hates Jews more than is absolutely necessary.” Jew-hatred has become so commonplace in the world that we had to come up with the term “philosemite” in order to provide an appellation for those few non-Jews who don’t hate Jews. I don’t even like telling my experiences of confronting antisemites or experiencing discovering the antisemitism of someone I thought I knew so well (something that recently happened to me) because it is so discomposing for me (I can’t imagine what it is like for my Jewish friends). Just because antisemitism is a pandemic of mankind does not mean the Jewish existence is to blame for that pandemic. Moss doesn’t grow on a rolling stone, but shit can grow mushrooms in the dark.
Like I said, I still haven’t figured this one out.
@ BethesdaDog:
Her people are Americans and her religion is Liberalism.
You make an error when identifying Jews. Doesn’t matter what they call themselves.
There are many people who by their love and commitment to Jews and support for Jewish values and traditions are more Jewish than those like Ginsburg even though strictly speaking they are not counted as Jews.
Amazingly, one of America’s most prominent Jewish jurists, Ruth Bader Ginsburg attended the Klinghoffer performance. Apparently her love of opera and controversy overwhelmed any remaining feelings she has about her people. She was the same judge, when sitting on the District of Columbia Circuit, so cavalierly sidestepped evidence of substantial prosecutorial misconduct by the Justice Department and the antisemitism of the sentencing judge, Aubrey Robinson, which resulted in the unfair and malicious life sentence given to Jonathan Pollard. Someone who is committed to her people would not attend the performance, but would instead walk over and join the protestors and show her solidarity against the antisemitic ugliness that was Klinghoffer.
@ mar55:
I have lived and soldiered here for a long time.
We never had a problem with the fabricated “people”, until Peresites inserted Oslo into Eretz Israel.
Before that renegades aggregate imported their partner Arafat, the vermin would not dare to do what they do today.
On top of all the total mess is…
The israeli so called supreme court. That is a self elected, specially selected gang of internal enemies inserted into that function by people like Peres, Beilin, Ben Yair, Beinish, Barak, Livni and other such. Jews are basically devoid of representation and we are stupid enough to maintain that gruesome setting.
The police is totally politicized when not outright corrupt and so is the pretend military command. At this very time police investigations are taking place about outright internal sabotage at the top of military ranks.
The solution, if still possible, is precisely that expressed in a Platform we have been clearly presenting.
For Israel, the most acute Jewish problem, is the fanatic US Jewish left (NYC, LA, Boston and Chicago) and the highly corrupted academia which spew antisemitic propaganda. Now they have been ostracized by the democratic (see 2010 demo convention) party and they will blame Israel.

It’s not the rampant individualism that’s the problem here; it’s the 3000 “individuals” who saw fit to be patrons to a theatre showing this stuff.
These people are obviously so sensitive and nuanced that – notwithstanding your threat to be really pissed-off (so to speak) if Honeybee were to perform her micturition act in the theatre – Honeybee could wreak so much havoc by merely interrupting the performance that the “unseemly vandalism” wouldn’t be necessary.
That being said, the riot brought about by the 3000 “individuals” in the theatre reacting to her brassy interruptions, would naturally be frowned upon by New York’s finest (aside from the audience, who obviously regard themselves as New York’s finest).

Mar the wimpy Jews do more to harm Jews than any act of vandalism…… In a city of 1.8 million Jews who have both political and economic clout couldn’t produce more than a few thousand Jews to protest and where a large segment of Jews supported the production verbally and financially, there can’t be unity of purpose because most don’t agree with the purpose or are apathetic. Only such acts as I suggested would crystallize the debate and maybe force the undeclared and invisible Jews to get off their asses and the fence and do something at least openly debate the issue and come to some unified stand if only in self defense against the blow-back. Why shouldn’t Jewish donors be put on notice that they too could become targets in the future. Why shouldn’t the producers of anti Jewish commercial and public productions think twice before they do it again. Muslim threats seem to work, Black threats seem to work, Hispanic threats seem to work why not Jewish threats. By giving into to the producers of this production and othere past and future why should the Jews be the only group in America that nobody fears?????
@ yamit82:
I saw that video before when it did happen. I know two who participated in it. That was great. What you proposed will bring negative attention on the Jewish community. We have enough already. The Met Opera is not a small place where you can get away with these thuggish practices.
Even an event as the Met protest did not get widespread coverage because the enemy media. Only when it present the Jews as barbarians will get attention. Leave what you propose to the lefty and communists. So long I must go out now. It is Friday.
@ yamit82:
yammit82: Any type of vandalism if it could be done as easily as you said, would do more to discredit the Jews than anything else. Do you want the Jews to act like the arabs? New York is a big metropolis. Acting like the lefty hippies from the sixties would nt accomplish anything but to antagonized the rest of New Yorkers who are tired of all this crap like the OWS. These are communist tactics from the fifties. First, we have to unite the Jews in this town.

@ SHmuel HaLevi 2:
Samuel, several years ago I received and email with a very effective video that needed no words to explain.
It did show a Jew riding in his car with a child and, at certain point appeared a bunch of thuggish kids barefoot and without shirts throwing rocks at the car hoping they will stop. They got very closed to the car and one of the attackers was thrown to the pavement. The car continued without stopping. When the car had passed a few adults thugs came out from hiding behind a boulder to see if the kid was fine. Evidently he had been thrown to the side but was walking perfectly without injury or difficulty.
If the Jew had stopped they would have killed him and his child. That, among many other ways is how they operate. The news in the papers said the child who was coming from services at the mosque had been attacked by the occupying Jew.
Shirtless and barefooted coming out of services at the mosque? That is how the propaganda works.
If we could produce several short videos showing how the lying despicable fakestinians produce their propaganda. We do not need to stage anything as they do but, showing how they produce their propaganda and showing them committing the crimes we are blamed for should be effective. Discredit their narrative.
@ mar55:
I suggested to HB on another thread that 5-10 people using pepper spray would stampede the herd. Women carry pepper spray in their purses or on their persons would not be detected and if they were not seem untoward in NYC.. Must think out of the box and you don’t need masses of mobs chanting outside the met to create havoc. The headlines from one such act plastered front page on every newspaper and a major breaking headline news on network and cable stations are worth thousands of speeches by political hacks and faux Jewish leaders.
All said it is very good in theory. Reality:
Since 9/11 the security at the Met and all around Lincoln Center has been very effective.
Right after the towers came down they inspect every purse and every package that come into Lincoln Center. In fact, not a single large or even medium package are allowed in the auditorium of any of the three houses plus the theater on the Plaza.
About five years ago they used the money that had been budgeted for tearing down and replacing the Philharmonic Hall to renovate the entire LC. All the access areas has been remodeled. In the front. The driveway that took the audiences or the tourists to the Plaza leading to the three
buildings housing the NYC Ballet, The Metropolitan Opera and the Philharmonic has been taken down. Instead big concrete boulders blocking any car from driving into the Plaza. You cannot take your car so closed to the plaza or the buildings. Down by the garages (there are three of them) the access to them has changed. In fact they have made it more difficult for the seniors to access the premises. Once you enter the building and are ready to attend the performance you have to pass inspection. Even your purse has to be emptied on a table for security to inspect it.
Tickets are expensive to buy. Center Parterre boxes are about $400.00 Side Parterre boxes are over $130.00 Now they might be even more. Opening night tickets are over $1,000.00. These prices are from when I was subscribing. How many people do you think would have that kind of money
to expend to go all at once to the Met to do the vandalism you are proposing? They have guards all over, many of them retired policemen who are ready at the slightest violation to remove you from the auditorium. If you do have razor blades or anything else in your purse, it it passes you will be caught when doing the damage. Telephones must be turned off or will be confiscated and so are lasers. If you find enough people to cough simultaneously through the auditorium and place them in different parts of the hall, it might work because you have to coordinate with people from the outside to call you and, if they are spread instead of as a group it will be more difficult for security to get to them. Once that happen tee police Dept. cars waiting at the side streets of LC will take you and charge you.
The Jewish community in New York is very divided. A couple of years ago I went to demonstrate against some Jewish organization that was acting against the Jews. Only a few of us did show up in a cold winter day.
How do you get 3,000 people which is what it takes to fill the Met to act simultaneously the way you are proposing?
New Yorkers are tough but we are also very individualistic. You more than anyone ought to know that you put two Jews together and end up with three or more opinions. Piss in the upholstery only if you are willing to feel disgustingly dirty afterwords. I don’t think you want to do that. You will be thrown in jail for vandalism.
Come to New York and see how things work in this town. I will welcome you but, if you dare to commit vandalism as my guest you will have to suffer the consequences and believe me, you do not want to be around me when I get angry.
This is directed to honeybee. Made a mistake and had Kellie on top.
@ keelie:
That, My Dear Keelie, is my role in life the “skunk in everybody’s wood pile”.
@ honeybee:
I couldn’t have said it better myself (and I didn’t)!!!
keelie Said:
Absolutely. Why protest outside the Met with signs that nobody reads. Go in side the Met, purchase tickets, turn on your cell phone to ring and ring loudly, have community coughing fits, shine laser beams on stage, laugh during arias, piss on the upholstery. You get the idea, I thought NYers were tough. Find your inner Busy Siegel.
@ SHmuel HaLevi 2:
The play was something Goebbels would have been proud to stage in the 1930s. In its vile dehumanization and contempt for Jews, it has no parallel since the Nazi time. And its this kind of sick anti-Semitic garbage rich Jews help to finance as “expanding cultural boundaries.”
Yeah, sure.
As long as we Jews balk at inflicting pain on the Jew-haters, they will continue to do what they do. Mere words or the odd court appearance will do nothing but boost their self-esteem. For them, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.
Pain, on the other hand, is a great teacher.
Let us be frank. The reasons these confrontations against Jews occur is because Jews allow them to happen. Sometimes, as in the case of The Metropolitan Opera, Jews encourage it to indicate their open mindedness. A brief review of German-Jewish history will show that the community there, as well, bifurcated into groveling assimilationists and frightened fleeing masses. The same thing will occur in America through conversions, joining the communist-socialist cadres, or failing to marry and produce a family. There will be another substantial group who will make aliya and regain their pride as Jews.
I believe this is happening to be directly the result of government actions. The undercover importation of Muslims to counter the influence of the Jews is an active policy under the Obama administration. On the local governmental levels, states and cities, the elected officials either know about this policy or intuit it without being able to fully express it. Therefore, they fail to take normal, usual actions against the instigators, lest they become targets of the Federal Government’s ire.
This in not the first time such a policy against the Jews has been utilized. See below
The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed The Jewish People by John Loftus
“The truth was quite sordid: With the help of the Dulles-Angleton clique, the Vatican had sent many of the Eastern European Nazis to Western countries, including the United States, Australia, and Canada, where the right wing recruited them to get out the rest of the Eastern European ethnic vote. The man who ran the politcal recruitment campaign the the United States was Richard Nixon. The cover-up had been going on for a long time before Angleton censored the Vatical files, but the Australians indavertently had let a corner of the story out of the bag.
Although we explore the Republican-Nazi connection in Chapters 10 and 13, it is important for the reader to understand the size of the scandal that Angleton was trying to bury. As a young congressman, Nixon had been Allen Dulles’s confidant. They both blamed Governor Dewey’s loss to Truman in the 1948 presidential election on the Jewish vote. When he became Eisenhower’s vice president in 1952, Nixon was determined to build his own ethnic base.
Vice President Nixon’s secret political war of Nazis against Jews in American politics was never investigated at the time. The foreign language-speaking Croatians and other Fascist emigre groups had a ready-bloc. There is a very high correlation between theCIA domestic subsidies to Fascist “freedom fighters” during the 1050s and the leadership of the Republican party’s ethnic campaign groups. The motive for the under-the-table financing was clear: Nixon used Naxis to offset the Jewish vote for the Democrats.
In 1952 Nixon had formed an Ethnic Division within the Republican National Committee. “Displaced Fascists hoping to be returned to power by an Eisenhower-Nixon ‘liberation’ policy signed on” with the committee. In 1953, when Republicans were in office, the immigration laws were changed to admit Naxis, even member of the SS. They flooded into the country. Nixon hmself oversaw the new immigration program. As vice president, he even recieved Eastern European Fascists in the White House.”
Why hasn’t my recent comment been published? Is it a technical issue or did I use a bad word that was flagged? What word could that possibly be?
Finally at least the correct label for the process that must be adopted is out in the open.
There is no “kiruv” in order with that garbage. They must be brought down hard once and for all. All unJewish donors to the MET must be made aware of the fact that they are not longer wanted here and any attempt on their part to interfere may well be reacted upon very strongly.
