Hmm …

… The Roots of Elite European Anti-Zionism – Tablet Magazine.

As musicians, Hatari’s members are tragically uninteresting, binding the worst of metal and EDM in a BDSM aesthetic that is more amusing than arousing, like the musical act in a bad Eastern European strip club. As political activists, however, Hatari is legitimately fascinating: If you’d like to understand the emotional valence of the contemporary European left, look no further than these bare-chested boppers.
I’m so old I remember Bandstand before it was American Bandstand, and before Dick Clark was the host. So I am an authentic first generation rock’n’roller. I was also raised by factory workers. Rock, in my view, is now utterly mannerist — middle class white kids posing as punks. (I also have an enviable collection of authentic punk 45s.)
