The punchline here in this story about a violinist being made to play at a checkpoint is that the outrage here is for denigrating the symbol of the Holocaust. I think there is a lesson here about human nature, perhaps about the priority that self-perception takes over inhumanity towards others in accounting for our moral motivations. There is another lesson in the TalkBack beneath the article which blames most of the buzz around the story on feminists, but I'm clueless about what that lesson is.
