NBC got blasted for an anti-Semitic “joke” about Israel’s vaccine campaign, and this Arab-Israeli exposes the danger of promoting the lies behind this skit.
“On ‘Saturday Night Live,’ one of the most watched [comedy] shows in the US, they joked about Israel vaccinating ‘only Jews’ this week,” says Yoseph Haddad.
“As an Israeli Arab, I can confirm that not only is this not true, but it’s also not really funny either,” he adds.
Watch as this outspoken and proud Israeli, who happens to be Arab, dismantles the falsehoods promoted by SNL’s vaccine “joke.”
