“I am a concerned community member calling to demand the cancellation of Michael Rapaport’s show scheduled for November 8th! Rapaport has a well-documented history of racism, including using racial epithets against Black people and has been known to harass and attack Palestinians and Arabs online, most recently making racist jokes about the bombings in Lebanon.
He is an unapologetic defender of the U.S-backed Israeli genocide on the people of Palestine, where more than 45,000 Palestinians have been massacred.
Chicago has the largest Palestinian population in the U.S. and it’s a slap in the face to the Palestinian community and all those in our city who stand for justice to host an artist who wholeheartedly supports the mass murder of Palestinian families.
Considering the most recent horrific bomings of a hospital in Gaza by Israel, it is more important than ever to deplatform genocide supporters like Rapaport! Do the right thing and cancel his show today!”

- It is insulting to the entire Chicago Palestinian community and to everyone against racism and injustice to host a ‘comedian’ like Michael Rapaport, who celebrates the mass murder of Palestinian families! @TheVicChicago @JamUSA CANCEL RACIST ZIONIST RAPAPORT’S SHOW TODAY!
- Racist zionist Michael Rapaport built his career off anti-Black rhetoric & tropes. This washed up “performer” DOES NOT deserve a stage to continue to spew hate & lies. Call @TheVicChicago at 773-472-0449 & @JamUSA at 312-266-6262 & tell them to STOP PLATFORMING RACISTS!
- Michael Rapaport has proven he is a bigot – from the racist, anti-Black content in his comedy sets to the horrifying things he’s proudly said about Palestinians as a virulent defender of the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza. @TheVicChicago @JamUSA cancel his show now!

- No doubt when Michael Rapaport performs at @TheVicChicago @JamUSA on November 8th he will be making the same anti-Black, anti-Arab jokes he built his career off of, yet The Vic is proudly hosting Rapaport and refusing to answer our demand to cancel his show NOW!
- A part of fighting for Palestinian liberation is deplatforming zionists, and racist zionist Michael Rapaport will be at @TheVicChicago on Nov 8th. Join us in calling The Vic at 773-472-0449 & @JamUSA at 312-266-6262 and tell them to CANCEL RAPAPORT’S SHOW TODAY!

Shame on the Vic Theater and Jam productions for platforming and celebrating a racist and bigot as part of their 312 festival. Michael Rapaport is a sorry excuse for a comedian who has built his entire career off of anti-Blackness and racism! For over a year, Rapaport has continuously mocked the death of countless Palestinians and Arabs during the #GazaGenocide. By hosting Rapaport, The Vic Theater and Jam Productions have shown us that they stand with racism, genocide, and hate.
Chicago has the largest Palestinian population in the U.S. and it’s a slap in the face to the Palestinian community and all those in our city who stand for justice to host an artist who wholeheartekdly supports the mass murder of Palestinian families.
Call The Vic Chicago at 773-472-0449 and Jam Productions at 312-266-6262 and tell them to CANCEL RACIST ZIONST MICHAEL RAPAPORT’S NOV 8TH SHOW TODAY! We refuse to let an anti-Black, anti-Arab zionist who celebrates the #GazaGenocide have a moment of peace in our city!
