After hearing a false report that the October 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting took place during a bris ceremony for the son of a gay couple , Mizrahi blamed the shooting on the allegedly sinful behavior of the congregation . In March 2019 , a planned visit by Mizrachi to the UK was canceled following reports that the Home Office was considering a ban on account of his track record of spreading hatred and extremism . Mizrachi went on to blame Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis - referring to him as " the number one most wicked person in the whole world " , along with senior Sephardi rabbi Joseph Dweck , claiming that they are “ the two friends , gay lovers , who do everything they can to promote homosexuality and destroy the Jewish nation from inside , destroy the Jewish community in England … he ’s going to bring a Holocaust on the Jews in England . ”
