John Cleese cancels Israel shows, producers claim: He caved to BDS


British comedian and actor John Cleese, known for his roles in the Monty Python films and the British sitcom “Fawlty Towers”, has canceled his scheduled performances in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. A statement released by Alon Yurik Productions on Monday said, “We deeply regret that John Cleese has succumbed to threats from BDS organizations, especially after all tickets to his performances had long been sold out. “On that note, we invite you to an evening with Kevin Spacey, taking place next week at Hangar 11 in Tel Aviv - a phenomenal actor, two-time Oscar winner, known for his deep affection for Israel,” the statement added.
