Yesterday, I reported about Kuwaiti singer Basma al-Kuwaiti who announced that she was embracing Judaism and rejecting the Kuwaiti ruling family. Now, prominent Kuwaiti Sheikh Ahmed Al-Qattan called for the application of the penalty of apostasy for her - which means death.
This week also brought the news of Moroccan singer Sanaa Mohamed, who sang a duet with Israeli singer Elkana Marziano:
As a result, Mohamed has received death threats as well and has been forced into hiding, according to reports.
Even worse, there are reports that she has been arrested or detained by Kuwaiti authorities under some sort of anti-normalization law.
In November, Egyptian singer Mohamed Ramadan was threatened and sued in Egyptian courts for posing for a photo with an Israeli footballer.
In December, Tunisian musician Noamane Chaari was also subject to death threats and reportedly fired from his job after collaborating on a song with Israeli artist Ziv Yehezkel.
The title of the song was "Peace Between Neighbors."
If you think that these death threats are part of Arab culture and enlightened Westerners wouldn't do that, think again. People who support the BDS movement act exactly the same way.
Israeli-Arab singer Mira Awad had to pull out of a planned concert in London in 2010 because of death threats there. Other Western artists who have performed in Israel - or planned to - are routinely subject to death threats.
The "non-violent" BDS movement never condemns these incidents.
Death threats aren't a cultural thing. They are an antisemitic, Israel hating thing.
