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.

People in Gaza are not eligible for the vaccine.

Ewww. I usually like what you have to say but this made me cringe. Che's joke was spot on.

If you are not classified under the category of Arab 48, you are not a citizen of state of Israel. The people living in the occupied territories who don't hold the passport don't get to enjoy the benefits. You are wrong on this. People here don't understand Palestinian struggle.

But that us not what he did, he wasn't being antisemitic.

A comedian drawing more criticism on a 15 second bit than the reality of what's going on there. @marwilliamson, it's ok to criticize Israel without immediate pronouncement of "anti semitic". Israel is a country which practices apartheid. Simple. And we're enabling this.
