http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/a-jew-goes-to-england/ Israeli actress Iris Bahr has appeared in American television shows Curb Your Enthusiasm, The King of Queens, and Friends. But she’s perhaps best known for her extraordinary one-woman show "Dai," in which she plays 11 different characters at a Tel Aviv cafe moments before a suicide bomber blows the place to smithereens. She has performed the piece at the United Nations—hardly a friendly venue for Israelis—but in a short piece yesterday in the Huffington Post, Bahr writes about her apprehension over bringing "Dai" to London.  en-us bharris@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-03-03T;21:06:00-05:00 michael@powerhypnosis.com Iris Bahr is doing righteous work that should be foremost in the hearts of Jewish artists across the globe. I admire her tremendously. Caryl Churchill’s SEVEN JEWISH CHILDREN is shamefully wicked. She is knowingly inducing hatred while wrapped in a mantle of phony compassion. Churchill the hack has now joined that vile historical lineage of demonically minded “artistic” Jew haters whose works lead to gas chambers, mass murder, and barbaric torture. To quote the Bard: “Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.” Iris Bahr is doing righteous work that should be foremost in the hearts of Jewish artists across the globe. I admire her tremendously.
