General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I mean, it kind of sounds like the guy called them out of the crowd and incited a mob against them.

You're not going to encourage a cease fire by targeting random Jewish people in the audience of a comedy show.

He called them out because they're supporting genocide. That's a very valid thing to call someone out for, crowd or no crowd.

No he called them out because they remained seated. He asked them if they were Israeli, they said yes, then he told them to leave (which he can't do to paying customers) and set the crowd against them. Their views on genocide or Israel's actions weren't even determined, it was just the fact they were Israeli and didn't give him a standing ovation.
