Hilarious.
I didn't read carefully (again).
This was NOT Saturday Night Live.
It was "Israel’s Saturday Night Live equivalent."
My hopes for a return of rationality to SNL have been dashed.

I sent that to my friend in leadership at Columbia. She’s at wits end but says things are improving there. We’ll see

I thought she’d laugh too because we jointly made fun of the student position when I was with her weekend before last. But when I sent it last night she was more exasperated than anything else.

Racist-Fluid… Nice

I don't know. If I lived that I might not find it nearly as funny.
It's closer to actual satire than our SNL has ever been.
We're pretty good at producing comedians, but Americans don't do true satire, which is funny in a justified emotions kind of a way, not funny ha-ha. And we never want to go there, we want the ha-ha.
The winners in my mind are Jewish and French media. They've always done the real stuff.

The Simpson's, for example, is satire, it's just not political satire. I haven't watched it in a long time, admittedly.

I sense some discord within Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd.
Roger Waters: "The Israelis invented stories about beheading babies" Pink Floyd frontman doesn't miss an opportunity to attack Israel with outrageous nastiness. Waters: 'How the hell didn't the Israelis know this was going to happen?! Didn't the Israeli army hear the explosions at the bases when Hamas blew up the border fence?! There's something strange about that'

I am just flabbergasted that there is any meaningful division in this….
Democratic Nation whose leadership must ultimately be responsive to the people it governs… Israel Yes, Palestine No.
Freedom of Press… Israel Yes, Palestine No
Civil Rights… do we even need to discuss this? Hamas still requires women to wear hijabs and be circumcised. They only just repealed their “Marry Your Rapist Law” and young girls are sold as brides. In the meantime, Israel has equal rights for all including their Palestinian Citizens. People ignore the fact that almost 20% of Israel’s population are Palestinian/Arab. There are Palestinian Knesset members serving in their government…
Hamas is being supported by Iran, Russia, North Korea… All bastions of freedom, liberty, and equality…. Not…
How are people being this idiotic?

Israel is a powerful, “colonizing”, white-adjacent country.
One can make the argument, as @jon-nyc did, that Israel is "occupying" the West Bank.
OTOH, from what I understand there are 2,000,000 Arabs living in Israel. There are no Jews living in Gaza. THat's not a colony.

All that said - it is beyond sad that civilians are dying. I don’t have a better solution to deal with Hamas - it does suck though.
I know people didn’t give much of a shit when it was brown on brown in other ME conflicts… still..
So whose fault is it that Civilians are dying? Who blocked roads preventing Palestinians from fleeing Gaza city? Who put the bunkers and missile batteries in hospitals and children’s playgrounds? And thousands of the missiles that have landed amongst innocent Palestinians were launched by Hamas.
