Israel-Hating Theater: No Holocaust Here

A theater in Australia turned down a Jewish group’s request to hold a series of performances about the Holocaust there because it says it opposes Israel. “Our policy does not support ­colonialism/Zionism,” the Red Rattler Theatre in suburban Sydney told Hillel in an unsigned email. “Therefore we do not host groups that support the colonization and occu­pation of Palestine.” The theater did not respond to a request for comment on Monday. In 2010, the town’s city council tried to support the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement against Israel.
