Dame Maureen Lipman Faces Petition to Cancel Play Over Anti-Semitic Post
SPSC petition claims the play 'contradicts' Aberdeen Performing Arts' values, accusing Lipman of extremist views on Palestinians and Muslims.
Campaign Against Antisemitism labels the post 'shameful' and calls the depiction a 'longstanding antisemitic trope'.
Timothy Lovat reports the image to authorities, warning it may encourage attacks against Jewish people.
Aberdeen Performing Arts refuses to cancel the show, citing their 'Everyone Is Welcome Here' ethos.
Conservative Member of Parliament Andrew Bowie supports Lipman, stating she remains 'welcome' in the city.
Dame Maureen Lipman claims UK antisemitism is comparable to Nazi Germany in 1933.
She previously called for a ban on pro-Palestine marches in London.
