Tell The Comic Strip to cancel racist Rapaport!

Michael Rapaport, a proud supporter of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people, is scheduled to have a comedy show in Edmonton’s The Comic Strip on March 6, 7 and 8th.

A quick scan of this man’s social media pages such as Instagram quickly highlights what a dangerously disturbed mind he has. He regularly shares virulent anti-Palestinian content, spewing hate and lies about the people of Palestine, smearing Palestinian resistance, and justifies all the violence Israel has inflicted onto Palestinians for decades.

On Feb 5 he posted an image of Gaza that is turned into “an exclusive resort” by Americans and Israel. At a time when there are tens of thousands of bodies buried under the rubble of Gaza’s ruins, envisioning the building of an Israeli-American resort is dangerously sadistic and wildly dehumanizing. This post is clearly meant to justify and call for ethnical cleansing of Gaza’s people from their ancestral lands.

There is also a video of him cheerfully celebrating the Israeli pager attacks on Lebanon that ended up killing and maiming hundreds, including a 10 year old little girl. As mentioned there is no shortage of evidence of his hate for anyone who condemns Israel's violation of human rights and international law.

Rapaport regularly glorifies Israeli soldiers and military, painting them as saviors of the world, rather than criminals perpetrating the world’s most well documented genocide.

His comedy is heavily focused on the dehumanization of all arabs and muslims, with a particular focus on anti-Palestinian racism. Rapaport is an avid genocide supporter, a degenerate in all the ways imaginable, and we are urging The Comic Strip to cancel his show.

No platforms for violent racists!
