Tone deaf?

Given the state of the Middle East at the moment, I am genuinely surprised that a theatre company is going to start a run of Fiddler on the Roof in Australian capital cities soon.   

It's not a bad musical (although I have only seen the movie version, as a child, and a bit of it again some years ago on TV.  I do think it's a bit of a downer, overall, though.)   But really, running a show full of sympathy for the plight of poor Jews seems to be a bit, um, tone deaf? at the moment.
