Thousands of people have signed a petition to halt American television host Joan Rivers’ upcoming tour in Britain after her remarks about the crisis in Gaza, Al Arabiya reports.
According to the report, the petition was created by Dipu Ahad, a Labour councilor from Newcastle, and has been signed by more than 20,000 people so far.
The petition urges event organizers to cancel all of Rivers’ upcoming UK tour dates.
Rivers made headlines when she said “Palestinians deserve to be dead” after she was approached by a reporter working for U.S. entertainment website TMZ asking her opinion on the crisis in Gaza.
“They started it. We now don’t count who’s dead. You’re dead, you deserve to be dead... Don’t you dare make me feel sad about that... You don’t get out, then you know you’re an idiot,” Rivers said, according to Al Arabiya.
Ahad said that Rivers was “not welcome in Britain.”
The venue’s managing director, Robert Sanderson, told the Nottingham Post in response to the petition, “Our contract is not with Joan Rivers but with the company promoting her tour in the UK, Pete Wilson @ 3A. Whatever our personal opinion, we have no legal grounds as things stand for terminating our contract with the company promoting the show.”
Rivers is just one of several celebrities who have expressed support for Israel in the conflict.

MAN I thought the Brits have sense of humor this same country that brought you Monty Python and other PBS BBC Comedies
Enjoy that last couple of swirls before you go down the hole britain.
When they banned Michael Savage,
They didn’t speak up because they were not talk show hosts.
When they banned Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller,
They did not speak up because they were not into exposing islam.
Now they are banning Joan Rivers.
Will anyone speak up for her?
Probably not.
I’m sure Joanie is deeply concerned.
Joan Rivers should be banned just for being Joan Rivers. What a vile trench mouth she is. JMHO
I'm sure she is too.
Don't know what is going to hurt he more , the 100,000 pounds a year in Brit Revenue she is losing from her $290 million net worth is going to leave a mark but missing Muslim dominated Britain as a vacation venue is the really slap in the face. Guess she will have to settle for the French Rivera, Porto Fino or Lake Como.
Sucks to be her
Don't worry ,just 20,000 dip-shits in a lefty area signing a petition create by a racist lefty.
"Dipu is An Anti-racism campaigner who referred to all EDL supporters as 'White and thick' ".
I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
Yes, it was horrid when she joked about the former Michelle Robinson being transexual. But standing up for Israel was beyond the pale!
Dear EU:
Will you please bar me, too. And, that includes barring me from coming to your defense (again) when ISIL etc. start beheading you!
Dipu Ahad, a Labour councilor from Newcastle …The former home of Brian Johnson of AC/DC, too. (Sting as well, but he doesn’t talk with the area accent anymore.)
“Dipu Ahad, a Labour councilor from Newcastle”
I feel great sadness for the American boys who gave their lives to fight for England’s freedom in the 2nd World Wars, only to have those weak-minded fools willingly surrender it half a century later.
I’m definitely not a Joan Rivers fan. In one of her books, she made “jokes” about Jesus, Anne Frank, 9-11, and Susan Smith killing her children. She’s vile.
But you know what they say about a stopped clock. In this instance, she’s right.
Yeah you got a point
Okay what about Keeping up appearance and are you being served
Brits must be arresting people and forcing them to buy tickets.

* She has better teeth
* She doesn't have to wait in line @ the British Health Care System.
* And can buy a gun and a hand gun and keep it to protect herself and surrender it to the constabularies when it isn't being used on the range.
* She can speak out against certain Religions and it is not prohibited speech...
