American comedian Reginald D. Hunter made an anti-Israel comment during a stand-up show in Edinburgh, UK, sparking a show of anti-Israel sentiment from the audience and animosity towards an Israeli couple who held front-row tickets, The Telegraph's Dominic Cavendish reported.
At the Sunday night performance, Hunter compared a scene in a documentary about an abusive wife claiming her husband was abusive to Israel's self-defense in its war against Hamas in Gaza.
Commenting on the documentary scene, Hunter said, "My God, it’s like being married to Israel." Some in the audience laughed at the remark, but a couple in the front row, who said they were from Israel, shouted, "Not funny."
According to Cavendish, upon hearing the Israeli couple's response, others in the audience began shouting expletives, telling them to go, and shouting, "genocidal maniac," "you're not welcome," and, "free ..."

If he were in Israel there’s no question that the joke would not be funny. And Israelis are far from being humorless stiffs.
Little dick weed.
B-but Scotsmen don’t like us anymore. Wah. Boohoo.
He seems to be a poor comedian.
He’s not man enough to criticize the terrorists
I was speaking with a couple Israeli’s I know the other day. They were in the US on business. I told him that as an American, I appreciated the stance Israel was taking against Hamas. We had a great conversation. One told me that many people had said the same to them.
They told me that they were in Germany recently and had to make it a point to not speak Hebrew at all, even in private.
How sad.
Has the comedian been arrested yet?
This is not comedy. Thanks to those 11PM “comedy” shows the word “comedy” no longer means “funny.” It now means “mean attacks on Whites/Christians/Jews/Republicans/Trump.”
Comedy was I love Lucy, Jack Benny, Rodney Dangerfield, etc.
Today “comedian” is the word they use to make people think that someone is funny, when he’s absolutely nothing more than a mouthpiece for political commentary and propaganda.
Stop genecide by killing the Jews.
Well said.
Only certain hate speech is criminal.
Aristophanes was a great political commentator and a great comic poet. He managed to synthesize the two.
Charlie Chaplin, Robin Williams, Groucho Marx were great comedians, and every now and then they would hit on political issues, too. But they didn’t let it get in the way of being funny. They didn’t use it to hurt people like this bozo did.
Ironic, considering the Stone of Scone/Stone of Destiny, which spent centuries in the Coronation Throne in Westminster Abbey, now is in the museum in Edinburgh Castle. And the ancient Scots believed it was the pillow Jacob laid his head on when he had his ladders dream.
The ancient Scots also believed they were descended from the Israelites.
Of course not. That would only happen if he insulted a Muslim.
Everybody wants to be ancient Israelites, especially those who hate the present-day Israelites, except for the present-day Israelites, some of whom would rather be black.
