Singer harassed at airport for left-wing views

Singer Achinoam Nini writes on her Facebook page that she was threatened by strangers at Ben Gurion Airport for her left-wing views.

She says that upon her return from Italy, someone shouted: “There’s Achinoam Nini! Hater of Israel, we’ll deal with her like Geffen,” referring to an attack on writer and artist Yehonatan Geffen at his home several days ago.

“Welcome to the nightmare we’ve woken up to,” she writes.
