A French Jewish standup comedian and a singer were forced to cancel their shows because of anti-Semitic demonstrations and protests. Dozens of Pro-Hamas demonstrators prevented the audience from taking their seats for a performance Friday by Jewish comedian Jacques Essebag, who performs under the name Arthur.
A show planned for later this week by singer Enrico Macias was dropped on the island of Mauritius because of criticism that he participated in a pro-Israeli rally.
