“You know, in Israel they vaccinate everybody. Israel is way cooler than this lame place,” says one of the characters in line for the vaccine.
In an episode that aired on Wednesday evening, American animated sit-com South Park featured Israel’s successful vaccination campaign.
“Even in South Park they already know – in Israel, they are returning to life!” Prime Minister Netanyahu tweeted.
“This is how you do pandemic humor when it comes to Israel. Watch and learn from South Park.” tweeted Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Gilad Erdan, referring to Saturday Night Live comedian Michael Che’s recent anti-Semitic libel that Israel vaccinates only its Jewish citizens.
Watch these two snips from the episode!
