The Campaign Against Antisemitism said the recent social media post about Lipman was “shameful” and written by “Jew-baiting agitators”.
They said: “Discrimination against Jewish people has become normalised in the arts: it’s now simply part of doing business as a Jewish creative in modern Britain.
“The only consolation is that Maureen Lipman knows that she enjoys the support of the Jewish community and is beloved across the country, regardless of what vocal Jew-baiting activists might say.”
It comes at a time of heightened concern for London’s Jewish community after two Jewish men were stabbed last week in Golders Green.
Police declared it a terrorist incident and the government’s adviser on terrorism has since told the BBC that attacks on Jewish people in the UK are “the biggest national security emergency” in almost a decade.
Aberdeen Performing Arts said it did not endorse the personal or political views of the artists who perform on its stages.
A spokesperson added: “On this occasion, Maureen Lipman is playing a character in a show that is touring the UK and our stages are in no way being used to endorse a personal or political narrative in this performance.
“As per our ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ ethos, we open our doors to all and ensure we create a safe space in our venues for everyone to attend and enjoy.”
