True. I watched that and cringed. Enough that the Israeli govt does is worthy of legitimate criticism; lying about what they do is just as bad.
It's all fun and games until you start promoting antisemitic myths, @NBCSNL. Every Israeli citizen—Jewish and Arab, Muslim, Christian, of any or no faith—is eligible to be vaccinated; 2/3 of Israel's Arab citizens over 60 already have been. Apologize.

I was wrong on this one, making a distinction between Israeli citizens versus people in the West Bank and Gaza that I should not have made. Criticisms of Israel on this one are in accordance with international law and I apologize.

Israel is openly engaging in medical apartheid and blocking vaccines to millions of people under its control

Quit Defending an Apartheid State doing an Occupation where they literally block Vaccines and other resources from getting to the Palestinian People that it does not even consider Citizens.

Where is the lie? Simply put, it’s 100% true. The false accusation that SNL told a “lie” is based on the Israeli government excluding the millions of Palestinians living in the occupied territories from its definition of “citizens.” They aren’t getting vaccinated.

It’s not a lie. Che is using humor to undercut the story about vaccine rollout because the narrative clearly doesn’t account for the millions of people who live under Israeli military occupation.

Issue isn't those with 2nd-class Israeli citizenship. It's the 5 million Israel has imprisoned inside ghettos, stripped of all rights. Israel has total control over their access to food, water, healthcare, and weaponizes that control, e.g. blocking shipment of Sputnik into Gaza

All I can say it that everyone regardless of what country they live in and what citizenship or nationality should be vaccinated. Playing politics with Covid vaccination is plain wrong. Everyone should have access to the vaccines for free.

They are not vaccinating Palestinians in the occupied territories apparently. They should be.
