BAN LIKE NAZI BOOK BURNING

Theatre ban ‘like Nazi book burning’ say West End stars

Leading figures of the British stage have strongly denounced calls for Israel's national theatre company, Habima, to be removed from the line-up of the Globe to Globe Shakespeare Festival for political reasons.

Playwright Sir Arnold Wesker, and actors Steven Berkoff and Maureen Lipman, have suggested that the attempt to block Israeli actors from performing The Merchant of Venice for the Cultural Olympiad is tantamount to Nazi-era book-burning.

Which fits in with my understanding of the haters who are urging on this disgraceful boycott.
