South Park Criticizes Netanyahu Over Gaza Genocide: “Who Do You Think You Are, Killing Thousands and Flattening Neighbourhoods”
Los Angeles (QNN)- The latest episode of South Park, which aired Wednesday in the US, directly addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the ongoing genocide in Gaza. “Who do you think you are, killing thousands and flattening neighborhoods?”
In Season 27, Episode 5, “Conflict of Interest”, South Park directly engages with Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza in a satirical way.
It involves Kyle’s mom, who is Jewish, flying to Israel after learning that a prediction market app is asking for bets on the question, “Will Kyle Broflovski’s mother bomb Gaza and hit a Palestinian hospital?”
Kyle angrily yelled: “Israel and Gaza are a very serious matter. Do you even know what Gaza is? There has been a conflict in Israel for thousands of years. Jews and Palestinians are not football teams that you bet on.”
When Kyle asks Cartman, "why would my mom ever destroy a Palestinian hospital?" Cartman replies, "Because she's Jewish?"
And his mother said: “It’s not Jews versus Palestine, it’s Israel versus Palestine!”
Kyle’s mom barged into the office of the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and let rip: “Just who do you think you are, killing thousands and flattening neighbourhoods, then wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s some shield from criticism!”
“Don’t roll your eyes at me, mister. You know what you’re doing, and you’re doing it on purpose. Now you can just sit in that chair because I’m not going anywhere,” Kyle’s mom continues. And the episode ends.
Qassam Barghouti says Israeli forces broke his father Marwan’s teeth and ribs, cut his ear, and crushed his fingers “for fun.” His family fears a dangerous plan to kill the jailed Palestinian leader.
Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are facing harsh detention conditions, including severe hunger, massive overcrowding, and poor sanitary conditions.
