“God does not reward those who bring terror to the children of the world. So you have succeeded in nothing but your soul’s failure,” O’Connor wrote.
Back in 1997, when he was marginally well-known as a member of the Ideological Front, an offshoot of the Kach Movement founded by Meir Kahane, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir bragged that he had succeeded in scaring the late Irish singer Sinead O’Connor away from performing at a benefit concert in Jerusalem.
O’Connor, who had accepted an invitation from an organization called Bat Shlomo to perform at a show in support of making Jerusalem a capital for both Israelis and Palestinians, canceled her appearance after the British Embassy in Israel received a phone call threatening her life if she performed.
