Israeli Comedy Sketch About BBC’s Hamas Reporting Goes Viral: ‘It’s the Old Jewish Secret: Laughing in the Face of Death’

Israel’s TV writers are fighting back against disinformation with comedy.

Earlier this week satirical show “Eretz Nehederet,” the Israeli version of “Saturday Night Live,” broadcast a special featuring a sketch about the BBC’s reporting of a rocket attack on a Gaza hospital.

It follows a number of controversies surrounding the BBC’s reporting on the Israel-Hamas war, which include refusing to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization and admission that their reporting on the Gaza hospital attack wrongly blamed Israel when the culprit was likely a Hamas rocket mis-firing. It also later emerged that as the rocket had landed in the hospital carpark the number of casualities was far lower than originally reported.
