‘Saturday Night Live’ Skit About Israel’s Vaccination Drive Condemned By Jewish Leaders, Groups, And Educators As Antisemitic

 


Jewish leaders, groups, and educators on Sunday condemned as “antisemitic” a “Saturday Night Live” skit in which a cast member joked about Israel’s vaccine campaign. 

In the regular news parody segment “Weekend Update,” broadcast on Feb. 20, cast member Michael Che said, “Israel is reporting that they vaccinated half their population, and I’m gonna guess it’s the Jewish half.” 



WNU Editor: 2/3 of Israel’s Arab citizens over 60 have already have been vaccinated. Something that SNL cast member Michael Che appears to not know. 

I use to enjoy this show many many many years ago. It has become something else now. And it is definitely no longer funny.
