The Soho Theatre in London said it was "sorry and saddened" by the incident.

    😢 Poor bibis. I feel so sad for you. You got your fee fees hurt by the mean man saying genocide bad. Have you tried not supporting genocide? That’s been working for me.

      I mean, it kind of sounds like the guy called them out of the crowd and incited a mob against them.

      You’re not going to encourage a cease fire by targeting random Jewish people in the audience of a comedy show.

        Based on the article he called them out after they didn’t show support for Palestine at the end of the show. The comedian also is from Belfast which explains why he has such a strong opinion on this.

        I would hope that any Israeli citizen is against the genocide that their government is doing and would show support to stop people being killed. If they disagree publicly in an open place like this I’d expect them to be called out on it.

        Exactly, very Kristallnacht vibes coming from some of these people.

            Here’s an example of violent emotive outbursts trying to silence discussion. Is your shirt brown?

        He called them out because they’re supporting genocide. That’s a very valid thing to call someone out for, crowd or no crowd.

          No he called them out because they remained seated. He asked them if they were Israeli, they said yes, then he told them to leave (which he can’t do to paying customers) and set the crowd against them. Their views on genocide or Israel’s actions weren’t even determined, it was just the fact they were Israeli and didn’t give him a standing ovation.

        I think the overwhelming majority of audience members who stood in solidarity with palestine would disagree.

                You wanna fucking clue me in guy? I’m clearly not getting whatever this shitty meme is or missing some context that makes this make sense.
