NEW YORK MAGAZINE HAS BECOME AN ANTI-JEWISH HATE OUTLET
This is how you stand up to bigotry.
BAFTA-nominated actress Maureen Lipman has hit back at co-star Gerard McCarthy, telling him to “grow up” after he withdrew from their Soho Theatre production over her publicly expressed views on Israel.
Lipman and McCarthy were due to appear together in Stan Zimmerman’s Right Before I Go on September 5. McCarthy pulled out, saying he did not feel comfortable promoting Lipman’s involvement because of views she has “publicly and repeatedly expressed regarding Israel and Palestine.”
No performer should be treated as professionally unacceptable simply because they refuse to abandon their support for Israel. Lipman is right to push back against a climate in the arts where pro-Israel voices are increasingly treated as grounds for ostracism rather than legitimate disagreement.

The mayor of the Belgian city of Leuven, Mohamed Ridouani, has barred the UEFA Europa League match between Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise and Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva from being hosted in his city, citing public safety concerns.
Ridouani stated that the city would not permit the fixture to proceed (even behind closed doors in an empty stadium) noting that the decision aligns with his previous opposition to hosting matches involving Israeli teams in the city. Ridouani said his position was consistent with not allowing Belgium’s national teams play games against Israel in Leuven.
This is pure racism and discrimination and it is unacceptable. A mayor should not be allowed bar a team from competing simply because of his bias and hate towards a specific country. The Union of European Football Associations must intervene immediately.

Hostile Polish fans booed the Israeli national anthem during the EuroBasket game between Poland and Israel, with reports of Palestinian flags being waved in the stands and whistles drowning out “Hatikvah.”
It is deeply disturbing to see such poor sportsmanship like this. Targeting a national team simply because they are Israeli is blatant discrimination based on national origin.

Northern Irish actor Gerard McCarthy has withdrawn from a London theatre production because he was uncomfortable working alongside Dame Maureen Lipman, one of Britain’s most prominent Jewish actresses, over her outspoken support for Israel.
Let’s call this what it is: bigotry. Singling out a Jewish actress because she refuses to abandon Israel is discriminatory, intolerant, and exactly the kind of ideological exclusion that has no place in the arts.

🏀🇮🇱 Welcome back to Tel Aviv, Bonzie Colson!
Former Maccabi Tel Aviv star and fan favorite Bonzie Colson is back in Israel, returning to play in the city he once called home for the upcoming season.
There’s nothing quite like seeing players who built such a special connection with Israeli fans welcomed back with open arms. 💙

The future of Los Angeles’ historic Bruin Theatre is in doubt after reports exposed a history of racist and antisemitic social media posts by its new operator, Rui Pereira, including references to “fake Jews,” “Zionazis” and “sub human devils.”
CCFP Executive Director Ari Ingel called the remarks “appalling and completely unacceptable,” adding: “At a time when Canada’s Jewish community is confronting record levels of antisemitism, this is one Canadian export Los Angeles can do without.”

We think the second description of Mark Ruffalo is more accurate.
