Liahav Eitan, a Jewish man and an Israeli, was thrown out of a show in London by the Irish comedian Paul Currie after Eitan refused to applaud a Palestinian flag brought out on stage by Currie during his performance.

“I enjoyed your show until you brought out the Palestinian flag,” Liahav Eitan was reported to have told Paul Currie.

To this Currie responded, “I’m from Northern Island, we know all about ceasefire, get the f**k out of my show.”

The BBC cited one man who attended Paul Currie’s show as saying, “He started waving it [the flag] around and some audience members stood up – he encouraged a standing ovation.”

“Within a second, [Mr Currie] erupted,” the man told the BBC. “He immediately said ‘get out of my show’. Audience members were shouting ‘get out’ and ‘free Palestine’.”

“We did not feel safe to continue,” he added. “We were not that far away from the exit door, we were keeping our heads down. “We felt threatened and marginalized – we did not know who was friend or foe.”

The central London Soho Theatre, where the show took place, was forced to issue an apology saying, “We are sorry and saddened by an incident that took place at our venue at the end of a performance of Paul Currie: Shtoom on Saturday 10 February which has caused upset and hurt to members of [our] audience attending and others,” the theater said in a statement.

“We take this very seriously,” added the Soho Theater, “and are looking into the details of what happened as thoroughly, as sensitively, and as quickly as we can. It is important to us that Soho Theatre is a welcoming and inclusive place for all.”
