Israel’s longest-running political satire program, Eretz Nehederet, has tackled issues regarding the war with what the director calls an "old Jewish secret: laughing in the face of death."

Israeli political satire show Eretz Nehederet, meaning "wonderful country," satirized the BBC and Western media coverage of Israel’s Operation Swords of Iron on Tuesday in a skit featuring a sympathetic mock “interview” with Yahya Sinwar – Hamas’s lead man in Gaza.

The interview begins with the actress portraying the BBC anchor announcing an exclusive interview with Sinwar “39 days after Hamas freedom fighters peacefully attacked Israel” and continuing with Sinwar singing in favor of a ceasefire.

Satire

[EinNYC]

Considering it’s the BBC, it’s very likely close to what actually went down.

Much better than SNL

Especially the ending, "A Moment in History"

"In 1944, heartless Winston Churchill refused a ceasefire and continued the genocidal attack on Nazi Germany. As we well know now, far more German civilians have died in the war, which makes them the victims and Britian the war criminal."

Fantastic

I haven’t watched SNL in years.

"In 1944, heartless Winston Churchill refused a ceasefire and continued the genocidal attack on Nazi Germany. As we well know now, far more German civilians have died in the war, which makes them the victims and Britian the war criminal."

You left out, "While the Glorious Red Army was greeted by Germans who hailed them as liberators! And they treated the Germans well, especially the women!"

...Later in the skit, the anchor and Sinwar complained about a kidnapped Israeli baby’s cries heard in Sinwar’s office, with the BBC anchor claiming the Israeli baby was “torturing him through sleep deprivation” and “occupying his house.”...
