Back in 2020, Saturday Night Live “comedian” Michael Che joked that the winner of the ‘Miss Hitler’ pageant was Miss Israel.
The following year, he went with this antisemitic blood libel:
#MichaelChe of @nbcsnl engaging in more antisemitic humor. Stoking hatred against Jews by perpetuating libels is no laughing matter. cc: @StopAntisemites pic.twitter.com/ATvq0zcUzV

Over 5 years have passed, and antisemitism has only increased worldwide. Which means Michael Che (Guevara) is now more careful these days so as to not contribute to it.
Just kidding. He probably thinks he now has a free pass:
SNL is now jumping on the “Jews Control the World” antisemitic trope.

Even the audience barely laughed.
And no, having Michael Che deliver the punchline didn’t make it any less racist. pic.twitter.com/mPuDhXUJAe
In a world where Jews are being harassed, assaulted, and blamed for everything from wars to weather, lines like these do not land as harmless satire. They pour fuel on an already raging fire.
Jokes help shape what people think is acceptable. When one of America’s biggest comedy platforms keeps normalizing cheap shots at Jews and Israel, it doesn’t merely reflect the culture; it helps drag it further into the gutter.
