Outraged by an antisemitic betting app targeting her family, a Jewish character blames Netanyahu for creating an atmosphere of hatred toward Jews worldwide.
The satirical animated series South Park recently aired an episode featuring a confrontation between an American-Jewish character and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the scene, Netanyahu is accused of deliberately killing civilians in Gaza and cynically exploiting Judaism as a shield against criticism.
Kyle Broflovski, a Jewish elementary school student, is one of the show’s central characters. His heritage has been the focus of numerous storylines throughout South Park, which has been aired since 1997.
Broflovski’s outspoken mother, Sheila, often plays a major role in storylines. In the latest episode, Sheila becomes enraged after her son encounters an antisemitic app and decides to travel to Israel to berate Netanyahu, whom she blames for the recent explosion of antisemitism in the U.S.
