Back then he wasn't a critic of Israel and therefore nobody cared.
I'm a Jew and I don't think he is anti semitic. That's absurd.
I mean, I guess I can see that but would point out it didn't seem to be an issue when he did a high profile, all-star rendition of the same piece in Berlin in 1990[0], and also he rejigged the show for recent Frankfurt gig, AIUI because he came to sympathize with the point in the paragraph above.

He touched some "sensible souls" (journalists payed to have a different opinion).
