“In the 1930s, the Nazis used typhus prevention as a pretext to confine Jews to ghettos that accelerated the disease’s spread, ensuring it killed as many as possible.”
Same thing all over again…. by the left, again.

‘Saturday Night Live’ Raises Eyebrows With Joke About Lions Getting Coronavirus at Hasidic Wedding

‘Saturday Night Live’ Raises Eyebrows With Joke About Lions Getting Coronavirus at Hasidic Wedding

“Saturday Night Live” received backlash over the weekend for airing a joke about animals contracting COVID-19 from Orthodox Jews.
The NBC show’s “Weekend Update” is a sketch made to look like a fictional news program in which comedians Colin Jost and Michael Che, posing as news anchors, comment on and parody current events.
During the most recent sketch, Jost, who is married to Jewish actress Scarlett Johansson, said officials at a Barcelona zoo announced four lions at the facility had tested positive for coronavirus.He added, “Even more shocking, it’s because they attended a Hassidic wedding.”
An image that appeared on screen as Jost made the remark showed lions dressed with black hats and given sidelocks, also called payot.
The joke can be seen below, starting at the 0:33 mark:
The progressive Zionist group Zioness called the joke “beyond unacceptable.”
The joke was a clear reference to a massive Hassidic wedding that was attended by thousands of maskless guests at a Brooklyn synagogue in November.
People who have accused Jews of spreading disease:
– Ancient Egyptians under Pharoah
– Europeans during Black Death
– Nazis
– Supporters of Louis Farrakhan
– Cast of @nbcsnlBeyond unacceptable. https://t.co/YBDoYFpaLN

Bryan Leib — chairman of HaShevet — blasted the show on Twitter, writing that it had “once again gone beyond the pale with this direct shot at the Orthodox Jewish community.”
He added, “I am calling on all Jews – observant or secular – republican or democrat – white or black – to call this out! This is simply unacceptable in main stream media. Shame on NBC!”
StopAntisemitism.org tweeted, “Orthodox Jews are not a tool for you to use for your comedic pleasure @nbcsnl @nbc– APOLOGIZE NOW!”
“Saturday Night Live” has not commented on the controversy.

They don’t care about ratings, they care about propaganda. The entire MSM is an investment in political power, and an investment in our destruction.

Original shows were just to open up people’s minds through laughter and spoof politicians. Now all these years later snl is full-on propaganda with all kinds of strings.

You are right and it was predicted by a FBI agent, W. Cleon Skousen in 1958 when he published his book “The Naked Communist.” IN that book he lists the “45 Goals of the Communists.” See if any of these fit what we know.
45 Goals of the Communists – 45 Goals of the Communists
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, and policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression.
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive meaningless art.” (Remember Robert Maplethorp?)
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.

I recall watching SNL in 1975 while going through a shipyard overhaul. It went down hill not many years later when the original members began to leave or die off. Today I would guess watching it would be less interesting than collecting used sheets of toilet paper and that has absolutley no interest for me.

We’re supposed to fear everything and everyone except the evil SOBs behind all this.
We either get rid of the twisted families running the satanic central banks, or they’ll get rid of us. They’ve been setting everyone up to murder each other for a century.

You can’t wear blackface because that demeans Blacks, or do obvious cross dressing because that demeans men who believe they are women even though they look like the hulk, but mocking Orthodox Jews is cute? It’s not cute.

I can’t imagine SNL making any kind of derogatory statement about muslums — especially considering I believe not one mosque has ever been shut down across the entire Islamic Puppet States of N. America because of COVID-19 restrictions.

Coming soon on SNL, a joke about two camels that contradicted Covid because they were at an islamic Wedding in Saudi Arabia… Ha-ha-ha-ha… Yeah right, like thats gonna happen… SNL stopped being funny over 30 years ago, the first people on the show were really funny, after that not so much, then later… just awful…

I stopped watching SNL ages ago. I find it totally disgusting. The writers think
they are so sophisticated but actually they are brutally cruel. I find the show
irrelevant and everyone should boycott it.

Liberal comedy is no more than a soapbox to spew hatred whether its anti-Semitism or others not of its diktat of unbridled hate and fear-mongering. SNL is part of Neo-Liberalism’s toxic, egregious swamp and only appeals to those dwelling, lurking in this Neo-Liberal cesspool.
