‘Saturday Night Live’ Blasted for Antisemitic Joke About Israel and Coronavirus Vaccines
breitbart ^ | 21 Feb 2021 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 02/21/2021 10:52:57 AM PST by MarvinStinson

Saturday Night Live is being criticized for a joke by Michael Che during the show’s most recent broadcast that suggested the State of Israel is only offering the coronavirus vaccine to Jews.

The joke came in the “Weekend Update,” when Che announced: “Israel is reporting that they’ve vaccinated half their population. And I’m gonna guess: it’s the Jewish half.”

“Fake news” reports that Israel is not providing vaccines to Palestinians or Arabs have become the newest staple of anti-Israel propaganda.

The false accusation repeats themes of antisemitic blood libels dating to the medieval era, when Jews were falsely accused of poisoning surrounding populations.

Israel is, in fact, providing vaccines to its Arab citizens, who form roughly 20% of the total.

Israel has also offered vaccines to Palestinians, and has been lauded by the United Nations — hardly a pro-Israel organization — for working with the Palestinian Authority to fight the pandemic.

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan called false claims about Israel’s coronavirus vaccination program a “blood libel” :

Erdan told the Security Council that “according to the international agreements, the Palestinian Authority is responsible for the healthcare of its own population – just as it is responsible for their education system.”

The PA, he explained, “informed Israel they intend to purchase vaccines from the Russian government and Israel has announced it will facilitate their transfer. These are the facts.”

“Anyone who joins the Palestinian campaign of lies either doesn’t know the facts or is motivated by politics or antisemitism,” the ambassador said.

David Harris, CEO of the American Jewish Committee, accused Che of spreading an “antisemitic lie”:

Harris called on Che to apologize.

Just who is this little dip crap Michael Che (Che’— like Guevara.. the Argentinian “cuban” Communist whom Fidel gave away to the Bolivian Army to murder? There being only ONE Commandante Primero allowed in Fidel’s Cuba).

No doubt named as an “honorific” either as his real name or a stage name.

Che’, btw was a huge Anti-Jewish Communist. Always an interesting deviance from the true thinkers of Communism. Che’ hated all of them. Singled out the few jews remaining in Cuba after the revolution.

Doesn’t matter, the Jews will continue to support and fund the Democrats. Now that Israel can take care of themselves, they* don’t give a crap about the country (if they ever did).

*’they’ meaning all but a relative handful of US Jews.

Yep— he’s black and his daddy named him— “His father, a history buff, named Michael after the revolutionary Che Guevara.”..... wikipedia.

Dude’s name is Michael Che Campbell.

More: “Che has been criticized for transphobic and antisemitic jokes on SNL,[24][25] including in 2019 by Sonia Rao of the Washington Post about Caitlyn Jenner[26] and again in 2021 by Shar Jossell and Michelle Kim of Them. about Joe Biden’s repeal of Trump’s ban on trans personnel serving in the U.S. military” wiki

So, Israel is 20% Arab and is providing vaccine to all of its citizens. Just out of curiosity, What percent of the “Palestinian Authority’s” population is Jewish? Oh, that’s right, the P.A.’s official policy is Judenrein, isn’t it. Yet the Israelis are the racists.

A stupid joke in poor taste. What else should we expect from SNL, which hasn't been funny in over twenty years.

Ironic, ain’t it that this snl clown’s dad named him for the t-shirt commercial commie who murdered thousands, including small children by a pistol shot through the head. Little kids.

A world class psychopath Che’ to whom Fidel also bestowed the general managership of the Bank of Cuba (utter incompetence all the way around this little club of Commies- a true story).

Satire on subjects concerning Israel should not be on SNL or any other American media.

From the article....

“Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan called false claims about Israel’s coronavirus vaccination program a “blood libel”

SNL had drawn the attention of the UN Ambassador.

It is extremely interesting that SNL is on NBC and the parent company of NBC is Comcast.This being the case, why has noone from upper ownership said a thing about this all over and through their company— perhaps because they are just “-ish” and not pro Israel (that is to say anti-zionist jew-”ish” globalists).

NBC is owned by Comcast. Brian L. Roberts – Chairman & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Comcast Corporation
Brian Roberts is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Comcast Corporation. Brian Roberts is Jewish. According to The Forward, a Jewish publication.

David Cohen - David Cohen is Senior Executive Vice President and the Chief Lobbyist for Comcast Corporation. David Cohen is Jewish,according to The Forward.

Arthur Block –Arthur Block is Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Comcast Arthur Block is Jewish.The Forward, a Jewish publication, has also referred to Arthur Block as “Another key Jewish officer in the Comcast empire.”

So it is a very good question why this clown and those and other shows are allowed to have this content— if one is to understand the supposed control they have over content.

The last time I watched SNL, Donald Trump was the host. before that? Eddie Murphy was probably a cast member.
