They agreed on doing so NOW, haven't done anything yet. Even when the tens of thousands of low wage workers were forced to stay in Israel during lockdown Plus despite all that Israel is responsible for all people living under it's control (Geneva conv) haaretz.com/amp/middle-east-…

From your article The Israeli government will vaccinate the 100,000 West Bank Palestinians who regularly work in Israel but still not most Palestinians who stay in the occupied West Bank -- even in Area C, where Israel has exclusive control and only settlers get vaccinated.

1. Under international law, an occupying force has the responsibility to take care of the occupied population. 2. Collective punishment, eg, the blockade of Gaza, violates international law. 3. You are an anti vaxxer

"Who regularly cross checkpoints" They should be offering assistance to the people they have trapped in Gaza and the West Bank, rather than cutting off shipments of vaccines from other countries and attempting to use them as bargaining chips.

They're vaccinating 100,000 workers who travel into Israel daily for work to protect Israelis from Covid-19. Not so much for ppl in Gaza. There are 4.7M ppl in Palestine. bbc.com/news/55800921

That it’s a joke.

Is it at all possible this was due to yet more criticism that Israel was leaning toward genocidal tactics regarding Palestinians

This was *after* sustained criticism of the type made in the SNL clip (and only applies to Palestinians who regularly travel into Israel anyway)

Marianne Williamson should say how sad it is that the Israeli state is so compromised in its apartheid-like policy that a joke such as this illustrates the very essence of good quips - the presentation of the upside-down reality of the Zionist state.

Chomsky has taught me a lot about Palestine. I'd start there.
