The Jerusalem Quartet, which was founded in Israel in 1993, is currently one of the most appreciated quartet formations. Unfortunately, the four Israeli musicians are also among the most affected victims of the anti-Israel boycott movement BDS. Their concerts have been disrupted since the beginning of the 21st century.

She blames the musicians for “artwashing” the “crimes committed by the far-right Israeli government.”
