Israeli officials have demanded an apology from the NBC television network after a
Saturday Night Live comedian joked Israel has only been vaccinating half its population, the Jewish half a lie made all the more absurd in light of Israel’s heavy and successful campaign to persuade its Arab population to get the vaccine.
“Israel is reporting that they’ve vaccinated half of their population, and I’m gonna guess it’s the Jewish half,” quipped Weekend Update co-host Michael Che to laughter.
