Jewish comedian Michael Rapaport's shows canceled amid anti-Israel protests

Jewish comedian Michael Rapaport has had at least two of his shows canceled in Wisconsin as the state's flagship university struggles with an encampment supporting Gaza. 

Rapaport, who has been outspoken about his support of Israel since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, confirmed the cancellation of his shows in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday and he called the decision "Very very very F***ed Up!"

Rapaport was scheduled to perform at Comedy on State in Madison on Thursday, but the show was canceled. The venue has not responded to Just the News' request for comment about why the show was canceled.

The University of Wisconsin, Madison, has been the site of major protests against Israel. Although police broke up the encampment earlier this week, it has since been rebuilt and school administrators are negotiating with the protesters as of Thursday, according to freelance reporter Liam Beran

Rapaport was also scheduled to perform Friday at the St. Croix Casino in Turtle Lake, which is about four hours northwest of the university, but the venue canceled his show, citing "unforeseen circumstances." The St. Croix Casino also did not respond to Just the News' request for comment.

Meanwhile, Aviva Klompas, founder of Boundless Israel, a nonprofit pro-Israel activist group, said that the shows were "cancelled following threats from the pro-terror mob." Just the News could not independently verify whether any threats were issued.

This follows the nazi playbook - one of the first actions taken by the brownshirts was to cancel all the Jewish entertainers (at the same time as they expelled them from universities).

Up until recently, I thought he was an Irish Ginger, not Jewish. He’s getting eaten by the monster he helped create.

I fully expect a Kristallnacht sometime before the election that will see hundreds of conservative podcasters/journalists/politicians/activists murdered in a single night.

No they will start with the Jews. Then they will turn to the conservatives after Biden is declared the winner.

He’s another one of those lefty Jewish hypocrites who are all of a sudden upset because his fellow lefties dare criticize Israel. I was on another forum a few months ago where they would play his Instagram videos for laughs because he made such a fool of himself. I assume his liberal audiences are no longer interested in what he has to say so he was forced to cancel his appearances.

I fully expect my wife to concede that I’m right from time to time-I think we’re both going to be waiting a while.

Works for me, but FJB himself said that there is no way they will allow Trump to resume his Presidency.

there should be some process for allowing disaffected lefties a chance to move right, Jewish or not

Not only that, but we should grab the opportunity to convert wavering people to the good side. Let us help people understand the danger of their situation in depth. The anti-Semitic racism on campus only increases the number of people, not only Jews, who would engage in a political realignment.

The definition of a liberal: A liberal is a person too broad-minded to take their own side in an argument.

Remarkable that Hollywood has been silent. So many Jewish actors, writers and producers.

Where’s Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders?

It’s obvious, by their deadly silence, that most of them consider themselves to be Leftists, above all... and Jewish dead last, if at all. Most ‘identify as Marxists’, IOW.

They learned nothing from history.... ie that aligning themselves with their anti-Jew leftist cohorts will not save them from what’s coming... again.

Terrified that they will lose votes if they support our ally Israel.
