Picture this: a supposed comedy night at the Soho Theatre, London, turns into a shocking display of raw antisemitism. The chief architect of this debacle? Comedian Paul Currie. But let's be clear, this was no laughing matter. It was a grotesque exhibition of prejudice, dressed up as entertainment. Currie, in a move that would make any decent person's blood boil, thought it wise to brandish a Palestinian Authority flag. Remember, this is the flag of an entity infamous for paying salaries to terrorists who have Jewish blood on their hands. It's not just in poor taste; it's a kick in the teeth to every standard of decency. Then, as if on cue, an Israeli audience member becomes the unwilling star of this horror show. His crime? Not standing up for a flag associated with terror against his people. Currie’s response? A verbal barrage that would make a sailor blush, egging the crowd to join in his antisemitic tirade. The chants of "Get out" and "Free Palestine" were more than words; they were a chilling echo of a darker time in history. But the icing on this bitter cake? The theatre staff's response. Instead of offering support, they shrugged it off, hiding behind the veil of 'free speech'. This wasn’t about free speech; it was about hate speech, plain and simple. This incident isn't just a black mark on the Soho Theatre; it's a wake-up call. It's high time we shine a light on this kind of blatant antisemitism masquerading as political commentary that has ran rampant since October 7. This isn't just about defending our Jewish friends; it's about defending the very fabric of our society.
