Remember how I exposed comedy legend John Cleese’s antisemitic and anti-Israel tweets in advance of his scheduled shows in Israel?
The shows were cancelled, apparently because of pressure from Israel-haters, although Cleese claimed it was due to safety concerns.
He also apologized for “inadvertently” sharing false and antisemitic content online, admitting to being “naïve” about how easily posts can be manipulated. And he promised to stop commenting on Israel.
So much for that apology.
Cleese has resumed normal transmission, amplifying more hateful and inaccurate tweets against Israel. Here is a selection from just the last week alone:
