Nathan Fielder criticises Paramount+ for removing TV episode for antisemitism ‘sensitivities’

Comedian Nathan Fielder has addressed “sensitivities” around an episode of his docu-series Nathan For You, which was removed from the Paramount+ streaming service over fears of antisemitism.

In a 2015 episode of the comedy series, Fielder created a winter apparel brand called Summit Ice, which was been designed by a rabbi, with all proceeds from sales of the garments going towards the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. The idea was in response to Canadian label Taiga, who praised the Holocaust denier Doug Collins in one of their catalogues, calling him a “defender of free speech”.
