Benjamin Netanyahu Booed at ‘Hamilton’ Performance By Tom Teodorczuk
Hamilton, in addition to being an award-winning Broadway phenomenon, is notoriously bipartisan show.
“I feel like this really crosses political lines,” Lin-Manuel Miranda told me a year ago. “Dick Cheney and his wife came to the show and said wonderful things about it. I had a wonderful talk with Laura Bush and [a] Bush daughter about the show. Peggy Noonan has seen it. The reminder that our Founders were human is something that everyone can get behind regardless of our political affiliations.”
Yet that wasn’t the case last Saturday when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in New York to attend the UN General Assembly, went to see the show.
When he took his seat, accompanied by Secret Service guards and allegedly Mossad, Netanyahu was booed and heckled over Palestine as well as being loudly cheered.http://heatst.com/entertainment/benjamin-netanyahu-booed-at-hamilton-performance/?mod=hsnewsletter_dd
