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.

Maybe the terror mob will get a stern “Don’t” from Biden. or not.
He was a big lefty before this, maybe he’s the next liberal that got mugged.
Cancel Culture
Michael Rapaport is a strong supporter of Israel. Domestically, he has been shifting from an idiotic liberal to being red pilled.
He actually said a few weeks ago he might be voting for Trump because of the Immigration Mess in NYC.
Lay down with dogs (demonrats) wake up with fleas (Hamas).
He was on Sid Rosenberg’s show this morning. He isn’t announcing it yet but everything he was saying was saying he will be voting for Trump.
Michael Rapaport is a comedian? First I’m hearing about this.
Stand up is a way to break into show business.

When he thought he was untouchable, he taunted others about bing cancelled.
I guess he got his wish.
I don’t feel bad for these leftist Jews. They loved the protesters when they attacked Trump supporters and America. Now they whine because they are going after Jews and Israel. These are your people Rappaport.
The hate-America savage-loving domestic terrorists have won another battle. As always, innocent people suffer.
I have to wonder if they’re going to go after Jewish celebrities like Seinfeld next. Will this trickle down to the big guys?
I guess if the concerts start being cancelled, we’ll have the answer.
They’re used to canceling people for various violations of failing to be woke. A chance remark questioning the billions of dollars of property destroyed in protests for BLM and its martyrs. a complaint about restrictions to follow the climate change mission.
Then you’re out.
The earlier Nazis, their forebears, started taking away medical and dental licenses from Jews and banning Jews from going to colleges.
Today’s young people have learned from them.
I grew up Jewish, and I get where you’re coming from, but there should be some process for allowing disaffected lefties a chance to move right, Jewish or not, at least if they show some sort of remorse or contrition. It’s even what Trump did with many union types in swing states.
Same. Left on left come uppance should be prolonged and drawn out.
I can remember him playing “white supremacist” villains in both “Higher Learning”, and Spike Lee’s movie “Bamboozled”.
