NBC under fire for 'anti-Semitic' scene in 'Nurses' on heels of widely condemned 'SNL' joke
Fox News ^ | Brian Flood

NBC continues to face criticism for a series of incidents that have been labeled "anti-Semitic," with a scene from the show "Nurses" taking heat for a scene that has been widely condemned for the way it portrayed a Hasidic patient who refused a bone graft from a "goyim," an Arab or a woman.

The resurfaced clip comes as NBCUniversal was already facing criticism for a joke made on "Saturday Night Live" this week as well as a segment on MSNBC earlier this month involving Mehdi Hassan.

The American Jewish Committee’s (AJC) head of young leadership Seffi Kogen tweeted a clip of the show that aired earlier this month and wrote: "I think this is the most antisemitic thing I have ever seen in a TV show."

The scene featured a Hasidic Jewish patient who needed a bone graft from a deceased donor who overcomes a significant injury when his father chimed in, "A goyim leg. From anyone. An Arab, a woman?" Goyim is the Yiddish word for gentiles.

Kogen explained why he objected to the clip in a follow-up tweet.

"For those of you unfamiliar with Jewish law, which puts precedent on healing and saving lives, there is no prohibition on the kind of bone graft in this clip. The writers made it up, dressed their actors in Jew-face, and put random extremist nonsense in their mouths," Kogen wrote.

I’m all for showing the true warts.

Of course, they’d NEVER show Moslems being backward.

Isn’t it ironic that the only people who really care about antisemitism when the source is a liberal media outlet or leftist politician are..... evangelical Christians?

The left hates Jews, but enjoys the fact that Jews overwhelmingly vote Dem.

The adjective form would be goyische, anyway. No yiddish speaker would say “a goyim leg.” Goy is singular, goyim is plural, goyische adjective.

It is not a word with good connotations though, in my opinion. A Jew who calls someone a goy or a shikse or a shegetz is rarely doing it in a complimentary sense. Best left in jokes, not in actual conversation.

SNL has been run by Lorne Micheals (born Lorne David Lipowitz) for 45 seasons. If there’s antisemitism going on, it isn’t from the goyim.

Didn’t watch the show but I would guess that the show was just portraying one character as being racist instead of saying all Jewish people are like this. Of course the network should have know that you’re only allowed to portray whites/Christians in a bad light not any other group.

Jew bashing is accepted in today’s Democrat Party.

Perpetuating racism where there is none. as Morgan Freeman said in an interview when asked about racism... “Stop talking about it.” It is perpetuated by those who insist on bringing it up.
