NYC blasted for tapping anti-Israel performer Kehlani for taxpayer-funded Central Park Pride concert

New Yorkers are outraged that Central Park’s iconic summer concert series is headlining an anti-Israel singer for a Pride event, just one week after Cornell University snubbed her from their end-of-year show.

Singer Kehlani notoriously posted a music video last spring that begins with “Long live the Intifada” — a phrase that is widely criticized as implying violence towards the jewish community.

The City Park’s Foundation — a taxpayer-funded organization — invited the controversial singer to perform at the city’s Summer Stage series in June for a benefit concert advertised as “PRIDE WITH KEHLANI.”

“America’s largest city has no business subsidizing or sanitizing antisemitism at taxpayer expense,” Democratic U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres of the South Bronx posted on X. “Stop mainstreaming the extremes and inviting those who invite violence.”

The announcement also immediately drew backlash from the Jewish community:

“An individual who refers to Jews as the `f–king scum of the earth’ and calls for their annihilation has no business performing in the heart of New York City, which happens to be home to the largest Jewish population outside of Israel. Period,” said Mark Treyger, CEO of Jewish Community Relations Council of New York.

The parks department did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Post.
