This is a straightforward conflation of Israel with Jewish people.
Israel is a foreign state committing genocide.
It is committing every war crime there is to commit.
Anger at that is both legitimate and, for the sake of lives, necessary.
Stop conflating with Jewish people.
CAA has sent a letter to the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells regarding a performance some weeks ago featuring comedian Jen Brister.
We had received deeply concerning reports from two Jewish audience members who attended the performance, who observed Ms Brister initiating chants of “F*** Israel, free Palestine” from the stage, encouraging the audience to join in.
The Jewish audience members have told us that the atmosphere became more like that of a rally than a comedy performance, and that the hostility and aggression elicited by Ms Brister from the rest of the audience caused them to fear for their safety, as a result of which they felt compelled to leave the theatre.
We have written to ask the venue to confirm its position on the performance and whether it will take steps with regard to safeguarding measures for audience members to prevent similar experiences from occurring in future.
