Well, first, Cartman's always making jokes about Jews. Once he says about Kyle's cousin after Mr. Garrison tells him to concentrate: "Maybe they should send him to a concentration camp!" There was an episode in which Cartman dressed as Hitler for Halloween, and another in which he actually tried to exterminate the Jewish race by using unassuming fans of the Passion of the Christ (I assure he got grounded afterwards.)

There was also an episode, "Deathcamp of Tolerance," in which the boys were sent to a death camp to learn tolerance. It was a huge parody of Holocaust portrayals in movies: the kommandante had a thick German accent and they had to do forced labor (like fingerpaint pictures of multiethnic people holding hands)

In a recent episode, they even made up a thing about a bag of Jew gold, which Jews wear around their necks. Cartman kept demanding Kyle to hand his over, and finally Kyle did.

Well, let me ask you this, since I too will not watch it. When have they had an episode in which they have held HaShem up to ridicule and derision?

Thanks for the description. Again, I haven't seen the show so let me ask you further;

Was the parody making fun of ones faith in Judaism or was the parody making fun of the intolerant who would mock that faith?

Was the parody making fun of the Jews in the concentration camps, the pain that they endured and the deaths many suffered (including entire families) or was the parody making fun of the freakish Nazis who caused all of that?
