Two Israeli audience members were labelled ‘genocidal,’ sworn at and told they are ‘not welcome’ as they were jeered out of a gig performed by US comic Reginald D Hunter.
The entertainer was half way through the show at the Edinburgh Fringe when he made a joke about how watching a recent Channel 5 documentary made him think of Israel.During the documentary, a woman told how she was ill-treated by her husband. The comedian said it made him think: “My God, it's like being married to Israel.”But the joke rankled the Israeli pair who were in the front row, who shouted out: “not funny.
Hunter then appeared to side with the pro-Palestine element of the audience, telling the Israeli couple: “You can say it's not funny to you, but if you say it to a room full of people who laughed, you look foolish.”They then left the show while the audience jeered at them.A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “The events described at Edinburgh Fringe are extremely concerning. “Comedians are rightly given broad latitude, but they also have a responsibility to their audience.
