The veteran actress has reportedly quit the Actor's Union over their stance on siding with Palestine, stating that: "I’m going to resign and I’m also going to ask for my £1000 a year membership fees to be given back to me, and I’m going to send it a charity for the victims on both sides," she told The Daily Telegraph. "I didn’t join a political union. I joined a union to protect its members." "You don’t dictate to artists what they believe in, and don’t incite them to join a mob." https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1441065/maureen-lipman-quits-equity-palestine-israel-conflict-political-stance-mob-march-ont She has also been joined by Welsh Actor Bennett Arron, Natasha Karp, Tracy-Ann Oberman and Dom Joly with many more Jewish actors, actresses and their supporters due to quit Equity over the next few weeks. Equity responded with a brief statement saying that: "Equity is saddened to hear that Dame Maureen Lipman has resigned membership of our union. We have not yet had direct contact from her, but we will be endeavouring to listen to and understand her concerns privately as soon as she is able. "Any instance of antisemitism must be rooted out and condemned, including the abhorrent abuse that has been directed towards members of the Jewish community in the past couple of weeks, as well as the small minority of hateful banners and rhetoric present on recent and otherwise peaceful Palestinian solidarity marches." Equity stands in solidarity with the Jewish community and the fight against antisemitism, and is having ongoing conversations with our Jewish members and their allies on how we can continue to do so. The union has a long and proud history of standing up for peace and justice around the world." Perhaps by insisting that all it's members kowtow and support Palestine regardless was way too much to ask of actors and actresses who just wish to go about their business without the browbeating woke Jackboots on their case? https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Maureen%20Lipman%22&src=trend_click&vertical=trends https://twitter.com/BennettArron https://twitter.com/natasha_karp https://twitter.com/TracyAnnO/status/1397589616853725187 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJwaBHiWZ70
