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.

well this is a Saturday night live sketch, so it’s sarcasm not to be taken seriously. I dont think you can call that “lying”. it touches on the very real issues surrounding Israel and Palestine in a humorous and light-hearted way so not sure what the problem is.

It's a *joke*. And he said he's *going to guess*, he's not making any false claims.

No, Marianne, Che is correct. Note Mayer's use of "Every Israeli citizen" to dehumanize residents of Gaza, who are in fact being denied access to the COVID vaccine. You need to post a correction saying you were wrong.

It was a joke. It was intended as a joke. Woke crowd pretends these were facts. Some fellow Jews pretend it wasn’t a joke. This is SNL they exaggerate, that’s okay. Also Jews aren’t a half of Israel. Are we gonna correct him on this too?

They didn't say half its citizens. They said half its *population*. This is actually an accurate way to describe what's happening - Israel dominates every Palestinian soul between the river and the sea, and is therefore responsible for vaccinating them regardless their status.
