Israel is asking for an apology from the ultra-left “comedy” show Saturday Night Live after a recent episode joked that the country was only vaccinating Jews.
Breitbart News called SNL’s joke an “absurd” lie that was “made all the more absurd in light of Israel’s heavy — and successful — campaign to persuade its Arab population to get the vaccine.”

“Some 4.3 million Israelis, which is close to 50 percent of the population, have received the first vaccine dose of the Pfizer vaccine and 2.9 million received both,” reports Breitbart News.
We find the use of age-old antisemitic tropes on last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live to be deeply troubling. It is particularly painful for this to occur at a time when antisemitic incidents, some resulting in death and injury, are at record highs. https://t.co/J4MxqYLNv2
