Pianist Kissin launches anti-Israel BBC bias campaign
World famous musician launches pro-Israel campaign
By Stephen Pollard and Robyn Rosen, December 30, 2009
The Russian-born pianist Evgeny Kissin, who became a British citizen in 
2002, has accused the BBC of “slander and bias” against Israel, 
broadcasting material he describes as “painfully reminiscent of the old 
Soviet anti-Zionist propaganda”.
Mr Kissin, 38, who until now has not generally been known as politically 
engaged, has written to the director-general of the BBC, Mark Thompson. 
According to a close friend of the pianist, he has decided to become 
“actively involved in exposing and countering the evil propaganda of 
certain British media and especially the BBC.”
Mr Kissin’s decision to use his fame and artistic renown to campaign on 
Israel’s behalf contrasts with the criticisms against the Jewish state 
regularly voiced by musicians such as Daniel Barenboim, who holds 
Israeli citizenship.
In Mr Kissin’s letter, he accuses the BBC’s Persian Service of a “blood 
libel concerning Israel’s alleged harvesting of Palestinian organs and 
blood for future transplant”.
He continues: “It beggars belief that the British taxpayer should be 
funding an organisation which is aligning itself with Iran’s despotic 
leader in its antisemitic propaganda. Other print media like the 
Guardian, which erroneously printed this libel propagated by Israel’s 
enemies, have since apologised. I am not aware of any such retraction 
from the BBC.”
Mr Kissin, who was a child prodigy in his native Russia and is now 
widely recognised as one of the greatest living pianists, intends from 
now on to speak out against media bias against Israel, which he sees as 
both fuelling and being fuelled by antisemitism.
In his letter, he says that when he became a British citizen he was 
“inspired and proud to belong to the country of Winston Churchill, who 
famously said: ‘There is no antisemitism in England because we do not 
consider ourselves more stupid than the Jews’. Above all, the BBC and 
especially its World Service, had always been a beacon of light, of 
truth and objectivity to those of us behind the Iron Curtain, in the 
‘Evil Empire’. Reaching out to far corners of the world, it was the 
voice of a country which for us was a model of democracy and human rights.”
He concludes by asking: “Is it not time for the BBC to return to the 
values for which it was so much respected, before it finds itself in the 
garbage of history, together with Pravda, Tass, Volkischer Beobachter 
and Der Angruff?”
The classical music promoter, Lilian Hochhauser, said this week: “I 
fully support Evgeny Kissin’s initiative to counter the increasing bias 
displayed by the BBC and others against Israel. I encourage all in the 
arts world to act against the growing stigmatisation of Israel, as well 
as increasing our cultural co-operation with the country.”
A spokesman for the BBC said the corporation was unable to comment until 
it had received Mr Kissin’s letter

lui sì. Non ascolta la musica, sente solo se si parla bene di Israele
o no. E specialmente se si fa finta di non essere aggiornati sui blood
libel che sono veri (vedi la tirata contro i servizi sugli organi
rubati)
Winston Churchill, who famously said: ‘There is no antisemitism in
England because we do not consider ourselves more stupid than the
Jews’.
sta parlando dello stesso CHurchill che negli anni '20 tuonava contro
il complotto ebraico bolscevico?
