"My show tonight at the Stardome in Alabamawas CANCELLED," Rapaport said in an X post. "I did not cancel. I would never cancel—especially since I’m already here in Birmingham, ready to perform."

"It was shut down because of protests and threats over my support for Israel and for speaking up about the 50 hostages still being held in Gaza," Rapaport said. "Six hundred and seventy days in captivity—and people are protesting me for demanding their release? It’s embarrassing. It’s sad. But I’m not ashamed. I stand by what I say and who I stand with."

In the post, the comedian included a photo with two people from the Jewish community. 

"Fortunately, I got to meet some incredible people from Chabad of Alabama today and had the blessing of wrapping tefillin—a ginormous mitzvah and a reminder of what really matters," he added. "Am Yisrael Chai."
