Saturday Night Live broadcast an anti-Semitic ‘joke’ by Weekend Update comedian Michael Che last night in which Che said Israel was only giving COVID-19 vaccines to the “Jewish half” of Israel.

Che said, “Israel is reporting that they vaccinated half of their population. And I’m gonna guess it’s the Jewish half.”
