Many news organizations have been celebrating Israel’s vaccination rate. From the PBS News Hour to NBC Nightly News, again and again. In fact, NBC ran a How-did-they-do-it miraculous story a couple of days ago.
Well we’re not buying, and neither are halfway-aware Americans. This was SNL last night, Michael Che doing the news.
“Israel is reporting that they vaccinated half of their population. And I’m going to guess it’s the Jewish half.”
As Omar Baddar says, SNL took a dig at Israeli apartheid. The cat is out of the bag on Israeli racism. The Israeli brand is tanking. And US liberal Zionist organizations can’t even reckon with the fact that it has been declared an apartheid regime. But SNL can.
And look, people are already calling it antisemitic! The Israel lobby never sleeps.
Israel has all but ignored the millions of Palestinians in the occupied territories. The Health Minister even joked that Israel has no more responsibility for the Palestinians than the P.A. does to care for dolphins in the Mediterranean.
(Baddar also notes that SNL didn’t air its greatest satire of Israel, the Would you fellate a donkey for Israel? hearing for Chuck Hagel to be DefSec in 2013).
The world knows that they deprived those they occupy of getting vaccines, for the longest time, while the Palestinians were dying of it. Maybe it was criticism or world pressure, but it seems they are just getting vaccinated. There is nothing to be impressed about when they brag they have been successful in vaccinating their people, when a few miles away people are suffering without any.
You can expect SNL to be attacked by the zionist attack squad very soon, and the US Congress will pretend it is not happening. This is the norm now.

“Article 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention makes ‘particular reference to the adoption and application of the prophylactic and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics.’
“Providing vaccinations to Palestinians is not a matter of politics or plain morality but of rights and responsibilities. Israel has utterly failed to uphold its obligations at the expense of Palestinian public health.
“But even if it were a matter of Israeli generosity and benevolence towards a ‘neighbor,’ it’s telling that Fauci couldn’t just give a straightforward ‘yes’ for an answer.
“Fauci has explicitly called for vaccine ‘solidarity between countries’ as critical to ending the pandemic.
“Why are Palestinians excluded from this basic concern for humanity?”

Dr. Fauci sells his soul:
Fauci champions Israeli medical apartheid | The Electronic Intifada
The Electronic Intifada, 19 Feb. 2021, by Maureen Clare Murphy.
“Fauci champions Israeli medical apartheid”
EXCERPT:
“Dr. Anthony Fauci, the immunologist and chief medical adviser to the US president, has given his implicit endorsement of Israeli medical apartheid.
“In an interview with The Times of Israel, Fauci lauded Israel’s COVID-19 vaccination program as a ‘model for the rest of the world,’ crediting the socialized healthcare system in the country.
“Israel has been lionized for its supposedly comprehensive vaccine rollout, with outlets like The New York Times saying it points to a way out of the pandemic.
“The only trouble is that Israel is refusing to distribute vaccines to millions of people living under its single system of unequal rule.
“If anything, Israel exemplifies the deeply inequitable global allocation of vaccines that will only allow COVID-19 to thrive.
“The reality of Israel’s discriminatory vaccine rollout is hardly worthy of praise.
“Fauci’s adulations are a major propaganda gift to Israel, which seeks to be viewed as a bastion of technical innovation rather than a brutal occupier.
“The Times of Israel asked Fauci whether the country should ‘help vaccinate neighboring Palestinians.’
“The publication notes that ‘Fauci responded carefully’ to the question.
“’You’re asking me a political question, and I don’t want to go there. That only gets me into trouble,’ he replied.
“The very framing of the question as to whether Israel should ‘help’ its ‘neighbors’ is fundamentally flawed, whitewashing the reality that five million Palestinians live under its military rule.
“Providing vaccinations is not simply a matter of Israel acting benevolently to a neighbor. It’s a matter of Israel fulfilling its obligations under international law.
“As the occupying power, Israel is responsible for the public health of the people living in the territory it occupies.” (cont’d)
The non-vaccinated are mostly Palestinians. No joke.
Wow SNL stepped out of line with the I lobby and Israel. Has not happened very often. Hopefully Che does not take all of the heat.
Off topic, however, thought you might be interested. Recent interview with Glenn Greenwald I so respect Greenwald, however sometimes he steps into territory I am unable to wrap my head around. Like under playing the Jan 6 Capitol riots. Think he is spot on towards the end about the way Dems have played it and the danger of someone like Trump winning again.
