Harrow Council cancels Reginald D Hunter's comedy show due to anti-Semitic joke concerns.

Harrow Council in London cancelled Reginald D Hunter's comedy show due to concerns over an "anti-Semitic" joke about Israel. The comedian faced backlash at his Edinburgh Fringe show, where two attendees were jeered for objecting to his comparison of Israel to an abusive spouse. The council chose to remove Hunter from the Harrow Arts Centre line-up in October due to the treatment of audience members and the content of the jokes.
