Pro–Palestinian protesters were booed after disrupting a BBC Proms concert at the Royal Albert Hall last night, accusing the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra of having 'blood on its hands'.
The disruption began moments into the performance at the renowned venue, forcing the orchestra to stop playing for more than ten minutes.
Jewish Artists for Palestine, a group which describes itself as 'anti–Zionist Jewish writers, visual and performance artists', has claimed responsibility, saying the action was aimed at exposing 'Zionist funding, censorship and complicity' in the arts.
Footage shared online showed demonstrators in the upper balcony holding signs and shouting: 'The MSO is complicit in genocide' and 'You silence artists'.
'The MSO has blood on its hands,' another woman can be heard shouting.
