Hold onto your hats – there’s a new Alexei Sayle video on the web!
His anti-Israel tirades have always veered from the embarrassing to the narcisstic and the plain confused and ill-informed. Not that the antisemites and supporters of terrorism that he regularly protests alongside care – they’re just happy he cannot see how horribly they are using him.
Sayle’s latest effort sees him sink to a new low in what is little more than a two minute, 39 second nervous breakdown in which he begs Leonard Cohen not to play a concert in Tel Aviv. Watching the video, one suspects that Sayle’s agent’s phone isn’t ringing quite as much as it used to.
It’s a toe-curling performance. Reprising a theme from when we last heard from him, he claims that his call for a boycott of Israel is actually for Israel’s benefit. This is the classic justification of the sick abuser - I might mistreat you but it’s for your own good. He also calls for Israel to “show some kindness to the people they are grinding under their heel”. This man seems to have no idea of all the great things Israel does for the Palestinians, including treating their sick in Israeli hospitals. In fact, it’s safe to say that Israel helps the Palestinians more than Sayle ever will.
And listen, pal, when I pitched the Britain’s Got Bigots reality show idea I wanted you as a judge not a contestant. Damn it you ghastly man, do you have to misunderstand everything? Or do you assume the show will be run on Iranian election-style rules: it’s okay to be both contestant and judge?
Enjoy/endure the video, readers.
This is gut-wrenchingly buttock-clenchingly awful. Only Galloway in a catsuit matches it.
Has the man no shame?
At least Israel gets the best – Paul McCartney, Leonard Cohen – and not these has-beens (?never were’s?)
damn, monique beat me to the galloway comment… but in any case, i think that these days he’s got bigger personal problems to worry about, judging by that video…..
yuck, I literally want to vomit. What a complete and utter c*nt! Why is it that these imbeciles can’t oppose Israeli policy like they’d oppose the policy of any other country? Did Italy call for a cultural boycott of the UK because we went to war in Iraq?! of course not!
I especially loved the line ‘especially if you’re jewish’. YUCK!
Bloody hell. What a prat. Apparently two people were necessary to write those “lyrics”.
Although ironically, Israelis might have the last laugh as “it’s for their benefit” that they’ll never have to endure an Alexei Sayle performance in their country.
Haha, yes – to think it took two people to write the lyrics! Lennon/McCartney it aint!
HAHAHAHA!!! that is one of the most idiot things I have ever seen. What a COCK!
Of course, Leonard Cohen flew to Israel in October 1973 to entertain the troops there.
I quite want to go to his gig in Tel Aviv!

Here’s the real thing in Israel in 1972
I seem to recall Sayle’s early 90s BBC sketch show once – or perhaps every week – ended with him doing a song where he would emplore various notables to “sod off”, ending with “Alexei Sayle – sod off” before he disappeared.
It’s time he took his own advice.
omg he’s *actually* lost it.
NOTE haim bereshit’s name on the credits.
He’s pathetic.
Over 3500 years of history and achievement p*ssed on by this humourless mediocrity who should realise that some of us prefer chicken soup to suicide bombs. As Chas notes, the Israelis have provided the Pallys with medical care, never mind power supplies, food aid and an agricultural industry in the West Bank (which they promptly trashed – clever, huh?).
This piece of crap would have made a perfect Cappo in the camps. The Nazis would have loved him.
You’re all as bad as each other – SCUM.
Katie takes it up the arse.
The only real work this t**t can get now is a bit of voice over work for some sad old consumer product on a t.v. ad’. So much for the political image he tries to create. A classic self hater. This way to the ovens my Jewish kith & kin.
