Default Fringe :Reginald D. Hunter : Asked Jews to leave his show




[American comic Reginald D Hunter is
embroiled in an anti-semitism row after
Israeli couple are hounded by
'pro-Palestine' audience at his gig
who told them to 'F. off' in the
'ugliest Edinburgh Fringe moment ever'

Reginald D Hunter made a joke
comparing Israel to an abusive husband
An Israeli couple objected only to
be jeered and sworn at by the audience
]


[The incident has provoked outrage
among some social media users,
who describe it as 'awful' and 'anti-semitic'.

One wrote: 'His behaviour was abhorrent - but
what was the audience thinking by
abusing two strangers who happened
to be Israeli? Hateful, toxic, repellent stuff.'

Another posted: 'So disappointing that
someone who is from a minority doesn't
empathise with (in fact encourages) racism
towards another minority.'

A third said: 'If your gags are at the expense of
[a] bullied minority,
you're not a comedian - you're a bully.']

Was Debated on Headliners GBnewsHD
One American Comedian on the there

It was funny, he said he owed Reginald D. Hunter
some money?
