A group of pro-Palestinian activists disrupted a performance of 'Fiddler on the Roof' at the OpenAirTheatre in London, leading to confrontations with Jewish patrons. The protesters, who were demonstrating against Israeli policies, were accused of antisemitism by several observers. The musical, which tells a Jewish family story, has no connection to Israel, and the protest has been widely condemned as an act of Jew hatred. This incident follows a series of similar protests targeting Jewish symbols and institutions, including synagogues, Holocaust memorials, and a statue of Anne Frank. The group, referred to as 'Freedom Fighters,' has been criticized for their actions.
