""There is no place for hate speech or hate singing, for that matter, here in Brooklyn or anywhere in New York State or America," Blakeman said outside the venue at a press conference with local state lawmakers."
""This woman is singing and she is performing, but she is a vile person. She is a person filled with hate. She is riddled with antisemitism. There is no place for her to perform here in Brooklyn," said Blakeman."
""Let Israelis and other Jews know: We will not leave the Palestinians alone. At a single call, we will all go to help Palestine and fight alongside them against Israel. Know this, all who are against Muslims will burn in fire. Know that we will unite," Usmonova said."
""I realize that things turned out badly with respect to the Jews and, overall, with respect to Israel," she said in a recent interview."
Bruce Blakeman, GOP gubernatorial candidate, demanded the cancellation of Yulduz Usmonova's performance at the Oceana Theater due to her anti-Israel and anti-Jewish remarks. He condemned her as a person filled with hate and antisemitism, stating there is no place for such sentiments in Brooklyn or New York. Usmonova's controversial comments from 2021, where she expressed support for Palestine and made inflammatory statements against Jews, led to protests and the cancellation of her performance. She later attempted to clarify her statements, acknowledging the negative impact of her words.
