SNL under fire for anti-Semitic "joke" about Israeli Jews regarding vaccines

It's another day and another anti-Semitic attack on Israel and the Jews. But it's okay because the attack comes from a Black person and, as we know, since Black people are victims of White suppression, anything they say cannot be considered racist. 

However, when you get right down to it, those sentiments themselves are racist because it shows the soft bigotry of lower expectations for Black folk.

Michael Che of Saturday Night Live (SNL) suggested the State of Israel is only offering the COVID-19 vaccine only to Jews. This was supposed to be a joke but many people didn't find it funny. That being said, since Che is not White but is Black, we shouldn't call him a schmuck.

The "joke" came in the “Weekend Update” segment, when he announced: “Israel is reporting that they’ve vaccinated half their population. And I’m gonna guess: it’s the Jewish half.”

This is a lie, of course, because Israel is indeed vaccinating all of its population, including Muslims and Christians as well as Jews. It's the Palestinians across the border who are refusing to accept deliveries of the vaccine for their people.  Let me guess, the Palestinians are Muslim.

There is nothing more disgusting, hateful and dangerous when perpetuating this crap. Pro Zionist David Lange commented and included the video of Che's "joke" in this tweet:

The anti-Semitic left and its fake news reported that Israel is not vaccinating Palestinians or Arabs, which has become a new anti-Israel propaganda lie. 

On the other hand, if the Palestinians or Arabs accepted delivery of the vaccine, they wouldn't--in a million years--allow Jews to get vaccinated, if Jews were even allowed to live in their land without being killed simply for being Jews.

Jewish leaders have pointed out that the false accusation repeats themes of antisemitic blood libels dating to the medieval era, when Jews were falsely accused of poisoning the surrounding populations.

The fact is, Israel is providing vaccines to its Arab citizens, who form approximately 20% of the total population, but some are reluctant to take them because of the fake news they hear.

Even the United Nations, clearly no friend of Israel's, lauded the Jewish state's offering of the vaccines to Palestinians, as they continue to work with the Palestinian Authority (PA( to deal with the pandemic.

Israel has prioritized its own citizens in vaccination, noting that the PA has authority for the health care of its own residents, and that the Palestinian government chose to purchase Russian vaccines instead of the American-made Pfizer and Moderna vaccines; but that's their prerogative.  

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan called false claims about Israel’s coronavirus vaccination program a “blood libel,” according to the Jerusalem Post:

Erdan told the Security Council that “according to the international agreements, the Palestinian Authority is responsible for the healthcare of its own population – just as it is responsible for their education system.”

The PA, he explained, “informed Israel they intend to purchase vaccines from the Russian government and Israel has announced it will facilitate their transfer. These are the facts.”

“Anyone who joins the Palestinian campaign of lies either doesn’t know the facts or is motivated by politics or antisemitism,” the ambassador said.

David Harris, CEO of the American Jewish Committee, accused Che of spreading an “antisemitic lie”:

This 8-second segment by Michael Che on “Saturday Night Live” is totally outrageous.
He accuses Israel of vaccinating only Jews.
Not true.
Every Israeli—Jew, Muslim, Christian, etc.— is eligible for the COVID jab.
He should apologize ASAP for spreading an antisemitic lie. https://t.co/d2Gf6NUHBF

Che is either a misinformed purveyor of anti-Semitism, a liar spreading falsehoods, or a schmuck. On the other hand, he can be all three.
