John Cleese appearing in Israeli film

British Actor John Cleese is to appear in a film by Israeli Writer-director Reshef Levy.  I must say, it looks really interesting and a lot of fun!

The film, written by Levy, follows Jonathan, a 12-year-old boy whose life is turned upside down after his father dies in an accident at a bank he works for. After the bank refuses to take responsibility for the accident, Jonathan decides to rob the bank with the help of three senior citizens.

This is also quite ironic when considered in relation to one of my previous posts.  Miriam Margoyles (currently touring New Zealand) called Monty Python "anti semitic".  Ms Margoyles (herself Jewish) advocates a boycott of Israeli Artists.

I would conclude that in fact, Ms Margoyles is more antisemitic that John Cleese or Monty Python!

Miriam Margoyles coming to Palmerston North

Miriam Margoyles has announced that she will perform in Palmerston North.

This is the location that John Cleese called the "suicide capital of the world".

Miriam Margoyles also accused Monty Python of being anti-semites

I didn’t like them. They were anti-Semites and they didn’t like women and they didn’t like me, because I was a, at that time probably a pushy little broad. And they weren’t interested in people like me.

So, I wonder if there is a relationship, or is it purely ironic?  Surely it will be picked up.

I wonder if MM will spend time in Palmerston North seeking out the Jewish Community.  I seriously doubt that she will bother, even though she is performing on Rosh Chodesh, which has significance to Women in Judaism.  And I'm not even mentioning her disgraceful support of Boycotting Israeli goods, artists and academics.
