Pro-Palestine Activists Target Jewish Actress, Sparking Antisemitism Debate

About this episode

The episode discusses the backlash faced by pro-Palestine activists in Aberdeen for targeting Jewish actress Dame Maureen Lipman, raising concerns about antisemitism.

Pro-Palestine activists in Aberdeen are facing backlash for their campaign to cancel Jewish actress Dame Maureen Lipmans performance, labeling her as a racist and Islamophobe due to her support for Israel. Antisemitism groups have condemned the use of a devil image with red horns and a black trident, calling it a classic anti-Jewish trope and intimidation against Jewish artists. Lipman recently compared todays Britain to 1933 Nazi Germany, citing recent attacks on Jewish communities, and called for a ban on pro-Palestine marches.
