I joked wrong There is a scandal on the American channel NBC: in the last Halloween episode of Saturday Night Live, the comedian Michael Che broke the unspoken taboo of evening television when he made a joke about the elections in Israel with the word "genocide". In the Weekend Update section, Che mentioned the record voter turnout in Israel - they say, it's nice to see the activism of citizens regardless of which side you support, even if that side is the "wildebeest side". Pro-Israel organizations like StandWithUs immediately accused the comedian of normalizing dangerous rhetoric. In general, this is not the first such scandal for Che. Back in 2021, he infuriated public organizations when he joked that Israel had only vaccinated the Jewish half of its population against Covid. However, the current attack is far more revealing: Major American television networks have carefully avoided hard-hitting comedic attacks on the war in Gaza for years, fearing advertiser boycotts and accusations of anti-Semitism. But be that as it may, all of this is an echo of Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip and the rapid growth of dissatisfaction with this policy among American society. - Let's make America understandable again support us.
