Pro-Palestinian Protester Throws Red Paint on Israeli Singer David D'Or at Warsaw Concert

The episode underscored how the Israel–Hamas conflict is spilling into cultural venues.

Overview

  • The incident occurred Sunday during the finale of the 22nd Singer's Warsaw Festival of Jewish Culture at the Moniuszko Auditorium, where David D'Or performed with Sinfonia Viva.
  • A second activist carrying a Palestinian flag reportedly tried to reach the stage while shouting “Free Palestine” before security intervened.
  • Venue staff quickly removed both individuals, and no injuries were reported in the coverage.
  • D'Or resumed the program, asked the audience to pray, and said many in the hall reacted with horror and tears.
  • He later posted video of the disruption and said the red paint looked like blood and evoked memories of the October 7 attacks.
