"[Recognition] must be part of wider plan which ultimately results in a 2-state solution & lasting security for Palestinians & Israelis. That is the way to ensure recognition is a tool of maximum impact to improve lives of those suffering; that must always be our ultimate goal".
The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.

"I am still processing the concept that in 2025 I can be cancelled just for being Jewish.". We all are. If it isn't racism to cancel a show simply because the performer is Jewish (rather than anything to do with the performance), then what is it? Sympathy and solidarity.
Following on from news my & Aaron Levene’s long running compilation show, Jew-O-Rama, was being cancelled by Whistlebinkies due to concerns over “staff safety”, yesterday I learnt that my solo show, Shall I Compere Thee in a Funny Way? was being dropped by Banshee Labyrinth. 1/8
