Renowned children’s author and playwright Sir Michael Morpurgo will omit The Merchant of Venice from the children’s book based on Shakespeare’s plays he is working on because he doesn’t want to “offend” Jews:
Sir Michael, 77, is modernising Shakespeare plays for children and teenagers in a book titled Tales from Shakespeare, designed to make them more appealing to a young audience.
The book will include works such as Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and King Lear, which are fixtures of the school syllabus. But Sir Michael said that after rereading The Merchant of Venice – which is on A-level syllabuses – he could not “honestly” retell it, the Sunday Times reported.
“I did not tackle Shylock [the Venetian Jewish moneylender who agrees a loan on condition that if the borrower defaults, he will take a pound of his flesh]. I avoided [the play] because it worried me too much… There are assumptions right the way through about what it is to be a Jew and how Jews are thought of.
“The play can be antisemitic… and I could not tell it honestly. It would be offensive.”
He felt it was “too raw to write about for children”.
But it’s not “too raw” for children to read Hansel And Gretel in which an old White woman abducts children, puts them in cages to fatten them up before cooking and eating them.
Notice how Morpurgo makes the spurious suggestion that Shakespeare intended the character of Shylock to represent all Jews — not just one particular unsavory example.
The works of Shakespeare are populated with all kinds of evil “gentiles” — but no one ever is concerned that Macbeth is “anti-Scottish” or “anti-woman”.
What Jews fail to understand about The Merchant Of Venice is that it is a Christian cautionary tale of mercy, charity and forgiveness — and the character of Shylock is much like the Pharisees in the Bible who stubbornly insist on adhering to the letter of the law — for which Christ rebukes them.
And it should be pointed out that at the time that The Merchant Of Venice was written, Jews had already been expelled from England for 300 years — for their usurious banking practices and abducting and murdering Christian children for their blood rituals.
We can only wonder how the Jews today would feel if Shakespeare had chosen to write a play about Jewish ritual murder — as Geoffrey Chaucer did in the “Tale Of The Prioress” in his Canterbury Tales.
Perhaps instead of censoring Shakespeare for writing about a Jew in an unflattering way, the Jews would do well by acknowledging their history of engaging in usurious banking — and renouncing it.
Instead of gaslighting White Christian nations by denying their well-documented participation in ritual murder, they should acknowledge it — and renounce it.
But that will never happen because Jews would rather falsely portray themselves as the eternal victims and attack anyone who dares criticize them for their own moral edification.

Have myself not read , Merchant of Venice. Yet , it is alarming the staid faith many have for historical record. Here, that all jews were from England expelled 300 hundred years before . This serves only jew. Some may have left under threat or more notorious compelled to leave to appease the people. Can you believe it was without remonstrance?
Comedy is used today to express or verbalize the forbidden. A comedian (non jew) on American television years ago could say, ” I have nothing against jewish people , some of my best friends are Christ killers.” Everyone laughed . Today, jew comedy in scurrilous disguise , can shout , “I admit , we killed Jesus Christ , we will kill him again, when he returns.” The reaction for this shocking blasphemy was a resounding applause.
Why did Shakespeare use comedy to conceal his loathing resentment of jew ? Because they had not left and were practicing subversion and divisions with reformed and catholic church as in Germany . They had protection in high(est) places. The earlier transformation of Anglo-Saxon law to judaic talmudism or biblical Pharasaism had never been repealed.
But Jews are allowed to offend anybody they want:

“”To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize””
The context of this piece is entirely wrong. Christianity accepting usury was not just unknown in Shakespeare`s day, but forbidden. Shylock is a Jew, because only Jews lent money at interest.
Read the play again. Shakespeare is quite sympathetic:
“If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us shall we not revenge?”
You are incorrect. Queen Elizabeth I, in Shakespeare’s day, allowed up to 10% interest on loans.
And that oft-quoted passage is a false appeal to the common human condition which Shylock by his excessive adherence to the law without mercy abnegated.
And, no, it would be foolish to ignore that the audience in Shakespeare’s day was well aware of the fact that Jews were forbidden in the realm by order of expulsion — that’s what gives the play its impact that is lacking today because of our tolerance toward emancipated Jews and their usury.
when the kids find out they’ll never forget it! so maybe it will all work out in favor of the truth.
The world is oppressed and enslaved by those who are so powerful that they can not be criticized.
People like Sir Michael Morpugo shouldn’t write books. If you’re going to write about Shakespeare, you don’t omit anything. In doing so, you don’t educate, you indoctrinate, as is the agenda.
I began wondering, where on earth is the name Morpugo from, as it’s got nothing to do with Britain, whatsoever. So I went to Jewpedia and what did I find?
“Morpurgo (Hebrew: מורפורגו ) is an Italian surname of Jewish origin.”
Well, there you go. A Jew, sir, indoctrinating the goyim. There’s a shock!
Orwell’s famous warning of controlling the present, the past and the future, is going into overdrive.
Having opened up to understanding the Jews, over 10 years ago, during the second half of my awakening, I was so repulsed with Jews that I purposefully alienated myself from Christianity. Why? PRECISELY because of Orwell’s saying! I like the overwhelming majority, believed in the lies, I’d been taught and that Christ was a Jew. My whole life, literally was transformed when I found out that we, the Europeans are man, of Adam, the lost tribes of Israel and our deadliest enemies are the Jews, of which Christ was not one.
This is precisely the tactic of the Jew, to change history and paint themselves in a favorable light.
If I ever talk to people about Jews, I just say one word in connection with them – ‘evil’. Shakespeare knew about the Jews. Dickens knew about the Jews. All famous writers, historians and once, leaders knew about the Jews. But now the Jews control every establishment and stop the truth from being told.
Oh how I loathe them. And I don’t think I’m alone.
Mark, Michael Morpurgo used his step-father’s last name after his mother remarried. His real last name is Bridge, and he is apparently British on both sides of his family, so he’s not a Jew at all.
This is a perfect example of how White people are our own worst enemies, not Jews. If it weren’t for traitors like Morpurgo/Bridge among the White race, Jews couldn’t get very far, and traitors are much worse than Jews, any day.
Thank you Chesterton.
Yes, I agree. There is nothing worse than traitors.
The truth about judaism is too hard to handle for many when they learn it.
Ever heard the phrase “pound of flesh” or “I will have my pound of flesh?”. Do you know where it comes from?
It’s a very old witch/jewish/kabbala revenge ritual involving guess what?….Eating the human flesh of your enemy and still legal by judaic law. Like honor killings for sharia and blood of atonement killings for mormns and honor killings for scientologists, and killings for….well, you see how they work. jews create or infiltrate these groups for plausible deniability.
Watch haxen. It has a lot of true info.
My classmates and I read The Merchant of Venice in high school, and I will always be grateful for that, as it is undoubtedly one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. I suspect our latter-day counterparts will never have the opportunity. A Jewish villain? Antisemitism! only goyim can be villains. Playwrights take note.
Yes, and only Italians can be gangsters in movies despite the fact that the Italian mob answered to the Jewish mob and Myer Lansky.
Smart move! Not only will his “unpleasant secret” not become front page news, he also will see a tidy deposit magically appear in his online banking account.
Michael Morpurgo is an awful, and awfully over-rated, author. This new piece of cringeworthy virtue-signalling from the old fool will set a further precedent of censorship relating to Satan’s children. I hope he kicks the bucket soon.
