Comedian Matt Lucas Targeted By “Anti-Zionist-Not-Antisemite”

British comedian, actor and presenter Matt Lucas was recently accosted by an Israel-hater on the London Underground, who uploaded it to social media (before subsequently deleting it and his account):

Lucas is not a pro-Israel campaigner. Granted, he did sign the No Hostage Left Behind open letter in October 2023, but no person truly concerned about human rights should have a problem with a letter calling for the release of innocent people, and which states:

The answer, of course, is because Matt Lucas is Jewish. That’s it.

And the “anti-Zionist-not-antisemite” in question? Thomas Abdullah Bourne, 39, an Islamic convert who uses the social media handle ‘White British Muslim.’ That’s him on the right, standing next to Greta Thunberg’s Flotilla buddy and Hizbullah fanboy Thiago Avila:

Here is Bourne explaining how his intention with his social media is to fight Islamophobia and the negative perceptions of Muslims:

He’s DOING IT ALL WRONG! Plus what absolute chutzpah to claim to fight hatred of a group of people while engaging in it yourself when it comes to another group of people.

So yes, Thomas Abdullah Bourne is, like almost all others in his movement, a Jew-hater. And truth be told, it needn’t have taken him accosting Matt Lucas for us to work this out:
