SNL’s Weekend Update this weekend: “The man controlling our military — Benjamin Netanyahu.” That’s the Jewish control trope. Not satire. Not commentary. A centuries-old antisemitic narrative with a laugh track. Criticize Israeli policy. Criticize Netanyahu. But when the punchline depends on the Prime Minister of the world’s only Jewish state pulling the strings of American power, you’re not making a political joke. You’re recycling something much darker. The fact that it landed — that the audience laughed — is the part worth sitting with.

Don't forget that the SNL audience gave Dave Chapelle a standing ovation when he accused The Jews(tm) of controlling Hollywood and silencing those who would oppose them.
Face the facts it’s true
I dont get it. Why aren't we fighting back fire with fire. They make jokes with Jews we should make jokes of blacks and Arabs. Tney come to our neighborhoods we should do the same. Why are these people escalating on their terms and no blowbacks
