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.

He did one in 2017, not sure about any more recently https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/rock-child-molesting-robot-snl-sketch-a7747201.html
Fire the anti- Semite.
Yes, it’s interesting to see the American Jews getting their ox gored by the liberals. They’ve been supporting the Democratic party for decades. Did they think they would be immune to antisemiism?
Trump was the best friend Israel could have had and they wouldn’t even vote for him.
The last funny comedian on SNL was Eddie Murphy after that it was downhill after that.
Because of what has happened throughout history when hatred of Jews is stoked. Blood libel “satire” leads straight to pogroms and murder in their case.

Seems like this has happened to much throughout history to have such a simple explanation.
Besides the Palestinians are a Semitic people also, so the whole criticism is stupid
That is the one.
Over 90 % of Israeli citizens over the age of 65 have already received their first shot - whether they are Jewish, Muslim or other. Priority is by medical vulnerability, not religion or ethnicity.
Israel is also assisting (and paying) to get vaccine to the purportedly “Independent” Palestinian population, ahead of most of the Arab world.
Thank God they have the Government of Israel assisting them.
Orthodox and Messianic Jews did.
It’s not fine by me, but I don’t watch filth TV.
SNL can wallow in it.
The only person who laughs at Micheal Che jokes is Michael Che. The only less talented “comic” on TV is Trevor Noah.
That “relative handful” of Jews who voted for Trump was (by some accounts as much as 30%, probably the highest ever. I am an Orthodox Jewish Constitutional Conservative and I love this country, always have. There are many, many like me.
Inasmuch as a longtime close friend and colleague (passed long ago) went to Jesuit school with Fidel in Havana, later went to medical school in spain (paid by the communists of cuba) and forced to be a surgeon for them for years before escaping to be a thoracic surgeon in the US.
During the revolution, the teenage surgeon to be watched Che’ shoot his father in the head killing him on the street in front of their home— why? because his father insisted they had no firearms, long guns or pistols in the home (Che’ had Batista’s lists), and he angrily blew his father’s head off. It was true- there were no guns there. A brilliant thoracic surgeon- became friends for 20 years. The details of this, were appalling including Che’s maniacal laughter.
The real Che’-— a criminal psychopathic (and well off upper middle class “revolutionary” Communist from Argentina)— that is the truth, these punk a@@ SNL clowns (who apparently have never learned how much Che’ hated negroes— it was pathological).
No, it wasn't. Isn't I should say.
Being Anti-Jewish is one of the central tenets of Communism.
Jewishness is to be separate from the rest of humanity. You do not melt into the whole of humanity. You are Jewish. You are not an interchangeable cog.
This individuality means that Jewishness and International Communism does not mix.
No matter how many times you shake that bottle they separate.
It does depend on who is doing the shaking of the bottle. Stalinism later was formed around eliminating the politburo and the Leninist Bolsheviks who dominated the Russian Revolution Bolshevik leadership. Once Lenin died (or was murdered by him) Stalin being a Georgian had absolute hatred of all jews including the politburo and insaned fear of the Red Army Leader Trotsky who was puritan Communist and also a jew. Stalin’s pogroms were worse than the prior 200 years of Tsars, and Stalin had been an informer for the Tsar’s ohkrana secret police- he eliminated any and all who could have knowledge of that, his deep permanent psychopathic paranoia and hatred of jews provided the rest of his obsessive.
Pretty evident that JoeBama and obamaumao and the entire crew of demonrats of their ilk- are definitely anti-Israel, anti-Traditionalist practicing Jews and somehow supported by a generationally purposely confused Leftist “ish” jews who inexplicably continue the Socialist world government move. There has to be a reason- difficult to fathom other than corruption and... money.
The moment you stop they separate.
I've heard that the Ay-rabs are a Hamitic people, rather than a Semitic one--descended from Ham (a son of Noah) rather than Shem (a different son of Noah).
Yes, perhaps his last name is a hint as to who he is, admires and/or runs in family.
I’d love for all Cubans/Cuban-Americans to write to the SPONSORS of SNL and tell them that they are boycotting their products until Che is, professionally, “put up against the wall, MF” re h is job at SNL.
