SNL Makes Anti-Semitic ‘Joke’ About Israel and COVID Vaccines
Saturday Night Live broadcast an anti-Semitic ‘joke’ by Weekend Update comedian Michael Che last night in which Che said Israel was only giving COVID-19 vaccines to the “Jewish half” of Israel. This was a scripted remark with an on screen graphic, indicating NBC standards and practices approved the slur against the Jewish people in Israel.
Che said, “Israel is reporting that they vaccinated half of their population. And I’m gonna guess it’s the Jewish half.”
