Does this make anyone else feel uneasy? It shouldn't be allowed.

Makes me feel uneasy too. Should it be allowed? Dfficult to judge without seeing or reading the script. My guess is that Corbyn wouldn't appear as a character in it (as that would be extremely risky, legally speaking), but obviously with the topic there might be some risk of incitement to violence whether he's in it or not. I imagine they've had legal advice. . . ? Maybe it's satire so that makes it alright?

Of course, you can imagine the media response if the religions involved were different.

I guess, given the Yiddish used in the title, they're looking to appeal mostly to a Jewish audience. Not that that excuses it.
