Algerians want to stop Sean Paul concert - because his grandfather was Jewish

Algerians have started a Facebook campaign to cancel a planned August 22 concert by Jamaican rapper Sean Paul.

The reason? Because his paternal grandfather was Jewish.

One of the activists wrote, "Does it make sense to think of greeting a singer with Jewish origins in Algeria after all the massacres committed by the Israelis in Palestine our brothers?"

Another wrote, "This is a great shame and we must stand up against this farce immediately."

Even worse, one of them dug up this photo of Sean Paul at "the Wailing Wall in Tel Aviv" back in 2007.

There ya go.

The promoters seemed highly unlikely to cancel the concert, since they already paid for everything.

I wonder if the BDS crowd will support this.
