The JNF has said that a comedian’s comment that the charity is “racist” is “his most comical yet.”
Ivor Dembina banned comedians from his Traditional Jewish Xmas Eve Show if they had performed at the JNF annual Kosher Komedy Night.
He explained that he believed the pro-Israel charity was “racist in its outlook”, and said he regarded it in the same light as the British National Party and the English Defence League.
But JNF chairman Samuel Hayek responded by saying that Mr Dembina was “extremely ill informed”.
