Dieudonne is a sorry excuse for a comedian, and his little show about Israel was as tasteless as usual. Good riddance !

Can you give any more background on this guy? You seem to know his work. I did find a publicity photo:

Here's an article from the French version of Yahoo!. Let me translate relevant portions via Babelfish and my own tweaking:
"Obviously, I am not anti-semite. Obviously, I fight against any form of communatarianism ", he declared, stressing that he did not have "a religion" and that he attacked "any form of extremism". He acted in a "sketch", of a "intervention in a humorous matter", he added.

"I was already attacked for anti-semitism by religious associations of the extreme right and I was released", added the actor in reference to a lawsuit brought by the central Consistory, Licra and the Union of the Jewish students of France.

Invited Tuesday on the broadcast "You Can't Please Everybody" to make a humorous "obituary" of Jamel Debbouze, Dieudonné appeared with a hood, a jacket of lattice, capped with the curly hair and the black hat characteristic of the orthodox Jews.

In a short article, Le Monde criticized the "skids" of Dieudonné. "For me, Le Monde is a newspaper which defends systematically the Zionist position", Dieudonné retorted.
