BREAKING: Comedy on State, a comedy club near the @UWMadison pro-Hamas camp, has canceled tonight’s sold-out @MichaelRapaport show to protect “the safety and well-being” of everyone involved.

Michael Rapaport just happens to be Jewish.

Here’s the email Comedy on State sent to…

Rapaport is Jewish and a progressive Democrat. He has been clear that he will not vote for Joe Biden in November. 

The comedy club venue is close to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee pro-Hamas encampment. In the name of keeping everyone safe, the sold-out show was canceled. 

Yup!!! Very very very Fucked Up! https://t.co/2pYWogC4tw

Couldn't the comedy club just hire more security instead of bowing to the mob? We've been told these are peaceful protests, right? This is an admission that the opposite is true. 

Protests have been ongoing on the University of Wisconsin-Madison and UW-Milwaukee campuses for four days. Aren't the protests supposed to be an expression of free speech? The truth is that these protests were never about students exercising their freedom of speech. The protests are about shutting down life as we know it. The young Marxists and professional outside agitators are working toward the destruction of America and Israel. 

The students want their universities to divest from companies with ties to Israel. There are stand-offs around the country over encampments put up on campus. Frustrations build and there has been an increase in violence in recent days.

Most universities have not done a good job handling the protests. Some exceptions apply, like in Texas and Florida. Red state governors are standing up to protect Jewish students on campus. 

I am aware of today’s scheduled protest on the campus of Ole Miss.

Mississippi law enforcement is also aware. And they are prepared. Campus police, City, County, and State assets are being deployed and coordinated. We will offer a unified response with one mission:

Peaceful…

All of the students participating in protests were accepted to the universities and colleges they now protest. They signed up to accept campus rules when they entered the schools. As soon as the encampments began springing up on university grounds, they should have been shut down, not allowed to grow. Taking over campus and denying Jewish students access to buildings and classes, or feeling safe on campus are causes to stop the demonstrations. Instead, spineless university officials have allowed situations to get out of control. The inmates are running the asylum. 

Demonstrations have turned into riots. 

The mob comes for everyone who does not agree with them. Cancel culture is alive and well. Rapaport is adamantly anti-Trump but now he says it is not off the table that he may vote for Trump in November. I don't know about that but it's a clear message. Most Americans support Israel and the demonstrators are a small minority of the population in general and on campuses. 

This is Biden's America. This is the new normal. Donald Trump is sitting in a courtroom and privileged spoiled brats are cosplaying in support of internationally recognized terrorists. Jewish students are left to fend for themselves.
