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.

It's a joke. With at least a kernel of truth. From the Guardian: In coordination with Egypt, Israel maintains a strict blockade on Gaza, where the Islamist militant group Hamas rules over roughly 2 million people....

There are millions of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation who are excluded simply for being Palestinian while in the same area Israeli settlers are given the vaccine... Where is the lie?

Israel routinely turns away/destroys aid to Palestine, including vaccines. You need to contort yourself into knots to make this joke antisemitic. Anyone who follows what the Israeli government understands what was being said. You aid the oppressors by criticizing it.

He’s not lying Marianne, and it’s really disappointing to see you go to bat for apartheid.

What a disappointing take, genuinely. They occupy and starve a captive population in Gaza.

Where's the lie? The assumption underlying his humor is that Israel will mistreat Palestinians and this is about as well-supported an assumption as there can be.

Israel provides vax to settlers living ILLEGALLY in Occupied West Bank, but not to Palestinians who also live in West Bank. #Apartheid Palestinians excluded from Israeli Covid vaccine rollout as jabs go to settlers google.com/amp/s/amp.theguar…

I realize that, but the Palestinian Authority has its own power as well. I am not defending the occupation, but not everything that goes wrong there is Israel’s fault. The situation there is way more complicated than people here make it out to be. google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews…

Israel to give 5,000 coronavirus vaccines to Palestinian doctors

Israel's rollout includes Arab citizens and Palestinians living in east Jerusalem but not those in Gaza or the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority.
