SNL "comedian" Michael Che "joked" last night, "Israel is reporting that they vaccinated half of their population and I'm gonna guess it's the Jewish half."
Aside from the fact that nearly three quarters of Israel's population is Jewish, the vaccines are available to all although there has been resistance from its Arab population some of whom engage in COVID denialism. The "joke" was more likely a shot at Israel for allegedly denying the vaccine to Palestinians. Aside from the fact, the PA is responsible for administering health care the PA has also refused Israeli assistance on vaccines.
For his part, Dr. Anthony Fauci called Israel's COVID vaccination program "a model for the rest of the world."
I don't know about you, but when it comes to Israel's COVID vaccination program I'm going to go with Dr. Fauci rather than some so-called "comedian" who traffics in bigotry and hatred.
He also implied non-Ashkenazi.
