Crowdfunder for the play “The Wrong Sort of Jew”
JVL Introduction
The play “The Wrong Sort of Jew” is a dramatisation of how Jewish people who criticise Israel’s actions towards Palestinians and those who also criticise the ideology of zionism have been treated by the Labour Party over the past 7 years or so. Jewish Voice for Labour members and particular those on the Executive Committee have been particularly targeted. The creators of this drama are now taking it to the next stage and have interest from a London theatre. They would be very appreciative of any support for their modest fundraising target of £6,000, through this crowdfunding link

I hope Freedland and the rest of the G and observor reporters come along once the show is on the road .. Give them all a free ticket.
Just over a third of the way in this important cause.
I wish you luck with the project. However, I have some reservations about the narrow focus of the theatre production on the ‘life histories and present experiences of non-Zionist Labour Party Jews’ . Since the 2019 election, our non – Jewish, Muslim MP Rupa Huq has been targeted – in the first instance for risible intimidatory comments, allegedly made to her young Jewish interns. In 2022 she was again suspended, pending an enquiry into allegations of her historical support for prominent non- Jewish pro- Palestinian Labour Party members. Her readmission to the party is said to have been contingent on her falsely denying clear evidence of her past association with those same pro Palestinian activists in a photograph.
Presumably, the Royal Court would be interested in staging this as a “companion piece” to the Jonathan Freedland show they put on?
A wonderful ambition, I will try and help
This is a really worthwhile project which seeks to explain how insulting and ridiculous it has been that Jewish people with empathy and warmth towards an oppressed Palestinian people are labelled ‘anti semitic ‘ , and vilified by the Labour Party , many thrown out of the party . This play which I’ve seen as a work in progress is a vital commentary on the way in which our society had been entirely hoodwinked into believing and accepting a thoroughly misleading and dangerous lie ( as to where anti semitism exists ) j….. Caring about other human beings who are being oppressed by your own people has become a very awkward stance for those who care about equality , human rights and dignity . It is especially galling and sad for Jewish supporters of equality for Palestinians who want to see the end to 75 years of occupation by Israel’s highly militarised government. Please support this crowdfunding for a very important play , which needs a wide audience .
Good luck, I cannot donate money but happy to donate my acting skills if they are any use to you
