That is why Israel’s denial of vaccines to Palestinians is neither a technical quibble over Oslo nor a debate around citizenship: it is the direct and inevitable result of Jewish supremacy across Israel-Palestine.

Given this context, it should be obvious that Che’s joke was not aimed at Jewish people, as figures like Mayer, Erdan, and Nitzan — whose job it is to shield Israel from criticism — would have us believe. It was directed at a regime that does very little to hide the immense privileges it affords its Jewish citizens at the expense of the rest of the “population” under its control.

Those who are now demanding that SNL apologize aren’t used to operating in an environment in which such observations can be tolerated on television. The last four years under the Trump administration have been a godsend to the pro-Israel industry, which has actively encouraged a chilling effect on free speech and public criticism of Israel through the clampdown on Palestine activism and the widespread adoption of the IHRA definition.

But with the Trump era at its decrescendo, many of us can now breathe, albeit momentarily. Michael Che’s brisk joke on Saturday night was a collective sigh of relief — air rushing back into the lungs after years of being in a stranglehold.
