This is a sad and infuriating episode of the Ann and Phelim Scoop podcast.

Recently a story broke about how the Irish national theatre (the Abbey Theatre) rejected a private showing of our OCTOBER 7 play.

Basically we thought it was important that people in Ireland knew the truth about what happened in Israel on October 7, what really caused the war in Gaza.

 So we applied to do a private hire of the Abbey Theatre. Their response shocked us. 

It was to be an event for both Jewish and non-jews in Ireland, so they could hear an alternative point of view. 

But it seems that anti-semitism is powerful in the new Progressive Ireland.

This is why Ireland is known as the most anti-semitic country in Europe (and that is a very competitive grouping).

When you listen to today’s podcast, you’ll learn how the Abbey prides themselves on “diversity” but excludes voices and ideas they don’t like and just wait until you see what they do allow on stage when it comes to Israel!
