The demonstrators shouted, among other things, "free Palestine" and Regina Spektor, who has Russian-Jewish origin, reacted strongly, writes NME.

"I think you should leave, because this is not the right place for that conversation. I am a real person who came here to play music"

In a filmed sequence, one can see a few people in the audience leaving the concert afterwards.

Spektor has previously accused, among others, Björk of false information when the Icelander spread pro-Palestinian posts on social media.

It's not the first time a concert has been interrupted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Last year, Thom Yorke, singer of Radiohead, clashed with a demonstrator at a concert in Melbourne.
