The play is not about Israel but instead tells the story of a Jewish man preserving his family’s traditions in a village in imperial Russia at the turn of the 20th century. The performance on Monday went ahead as planned after the protest at the cafe.

“This is a performance of Fiddler on the Roof,” they wrote alongside footage of the protesters. “So, if you’re busy condemning racist demonstrations, but not this, & you don’t think they should be prosecuted, stop preening yourself. You’re happy with racism – it’s only the target that you worry about.”

    I have no idea. Again, how is this relevant?

    Do you think all Jews are Israeli? Do you think Fiddler on the Roof has an all-Jewish cast? Do you think it’s about Israel?

      It is about an individual against the oppressive state. You know, like Palestinians in Israel 🙄

      So, what about performances about Nakba? I will give you a hint - organisers of such performances have their funding removed and may be persecuted in “democratic” Israel. Go figure.

        Again- this is a musical in London about Jews in Russia in the early 20th century.

        Please answer my questions:

        Do you think all Jews are Israeli?

        Do you think this production of Fiddler on the Roof has an all-Jewish cast?

        Do you think it’s about Israel?
