British comedian Dane Baptiste under fire for alleged antisemitic death threat on social media

British comedian Dane Baptiste, known for creating two BBC shows, has recently come under fire for a controversial social media post. The post, which has since been removed, was criticized as being 'antisemitic' and included a death threat directed towards a female comic.
