What happens when you import Americanised ID-pol into your nation.
Wish we could go back to the simpler, dictionary definition of racism.

It’s almost unbelievable these are the same people calling anyone they disagree with a nazi.
‘Hounded out’ after whining about a Palestine flag being shown.

Well, it doesn’t sound like they were hounded out at all
They voluntarily left on their own when they saw a flag
And some ppl shouted at them, once they saw this, well because I dunno, being shouted at for being pro Genocide, just as I imagine being shouted at for being pro Islamic terrorism would just be kinda obvious and normal
Imagine how much more outrage there would be if people had hounded Palestinians out of a comedy show. The pro-Palestine lot would be raging.
Will the Soho Theatre be inviting Paul Currie back to perform? Whatever your views on Israeli and Hamas actions what place has this in a theatre performance in London?
Mr Currie, I’d say you can do better but actually I hope your actions during this performance follow you around for the rest of your career.
Yer.. he sure sounds like a fun time guy, nothing pretentious there.
Well this is certainly all going to end well isn’t it
Is seeing a Palestinian flag anti-Semitic now? Blimey
We should not conflate Jewish people with Israelis engaged in a genocide. It’s immoral.
Decent human beings sorry and saddened after reports palestinians “hounded out” of homes
>non verbal performance
>The CAA said the Israeli man had been “yelled at” by the comedian to leave
A more talented performer could have made his point without compromising his form, but clearly the Jew hatred is more important than the art to this guy.
Tbh I’m not surprised. This was bound to happen sooner or later.
Edit: literally getting antisemitic abuse in my DMs off the back of that comment… And the guy is telling me whilst he is abusing me that I should be glad I’m in the UK where this kind of stuff doesn’t happen.
You couldn’t make it up.
Jeering at someone for not standing up for some flags is stupid, but it’s not antisemitic. The article and the quotes from the CAA are trying to suggest that all the jews at this performance were jeered at for being jewish, instead of what actually happened which was that anyone who didn’t stand for the flags was jeered at, and some of those people were jewish.
Anti-Israeli does not equal anti-Semitism. These 2 are intentionally being conflated to quiet valid criticism of Israel’s barbaric actions.
They weren’t hounded out for being Jewish. They were hounded out for (in the eyes of the comedian and audience) explicitly supporting genocide.
>The organisation said it understood an Israeli man and his partner both left, followed by a Jewish party-of-four in an incident where the Palestinian flag was produced at the end of the performance.The CAA, which said it had been in touch with one of the Jewish audience members who left, reported that people had been encouraged to stand for both the Ukrainian and Palestinian flags.The Israeli man was then reportedly asked why he had not stood up and, according to the CAA, said that he had enjoyed the show until the Palestinian flag appeared.The CAA said the Israeli man had been “yelled at” by the comedian to leave, and that others in the audience then shouted “Get out” and “Free Palestine”.
Can we have this taken down for being a completely incorrect title? A comedy act expressed sympathy with the victims of genocide in Palestine, and an Israeli man felt offended that they were brought to account for the very simple request of “Oppose invasion and genocide.”
