A London theater has issued an apology after a comedian allegedly targeted an Israeli audience member who refused to applaud a Palestinian flag during a comedy performance on Saturday night. Comedian Paul Currie reportedly encouraged the audience to shout slogans like Free Palestine and Get out, resulting in multiple Jewish audience members leaving the show. The incident occurred at the Soho Theatre, which is now looking into the matter. The performer, Paul Currie, has a history of supporting pro-Palestinian causes and has previously posted pro-Palestinian content on his social media. The Campaign Against Antisemitism has described the incident as atrocious and is considering legal action. As tensions run high due to Israel’s conflict with Hamas, incidents of anti-Israel sentiment have been reported. This incident is another example of the growing divide and has raised concerns about discrimination and inclusivity in central London. The theater aims to address the issue and reaffirm its commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive space for all.
