As the most evil

The Republicans & Dem allies are defining antisemitism as any criticism of Israel. Universities have been censoring & kicking out or firing students & faculty for speaking out against Israels war crimes.

Lmao truly, its wild how people are so completely short-sighted. They are the people in the Weimar republic who watched the Nazi party rise to power and just went "well, they said Jews are the problem and they're probably right"

The whole premise of the question was deceitful, it implied that there was a movement of students at these colleges calling for genocide. Implying that slogans that call for the freedom of Palestinians is calling for the genocide of Jews is fucked up. Israel government is the oppressor, not Jews. Criticism of Israel government is not antisemitic, many of the critics are Jewish themselves.

No, but they are pointing out that many of the people holding these college leaders accountable are refusing to be held accountable themselves.

@@LexoG33 It should also be pointed out that Hamas is also an oppressor of the Palestinians. And many leaders from numerous countries have exploited the Palestine situation for their own means and enrichment. Hamas is evil and controls Gaza through force.

Politicians in the US trying to play this conflict for political points in the Jewish community are pathetic and soulless and no better than the leaders of Hamas who have grown wealthy while Palestinians live in poverty.

Thank you for the best comment here among too many who seem unclear as to what happened in Congress, namely that Ms. Stefanik represented the best of America with her courage of conviction and moral clarity conveyed in her questions. The comments here for the most part give the impression that too many have no idea what actually happened in Congress and that they regard SNL as somehow being a worthy source of information through humor rather than another biased propaganda outlet saturated in Leftist bias. That their brand of "humor" was obviously meant to be derived from ridiculing Ms. Stefanik who was clearliy condemning anti-Semitism and calling out those University Presidents who fail to do the same, the propaganda and lies of the mainstream Leftist media continues to march on.

Not really. She’s using the idea of hate speech as being unacceptable and yet has herself committed hate speech and even more so supported laws that discriminate.

@@Theactivepsychos Fatphobia and not using preferred pronouns is considered hate speech at these universities, but calling for the genocide of a race of people isn't. That's the point of this hearing.

Ya, the take away is that Congresswoman Stefanik is pro-fascist grifter who suck on any humanitarian criss. And would happily force deport all American Citizens of Jewish ancestry to Israel if she could, to further her agenda of Christofascism and Rapture Culture.

No, the problem is what constitutes calling for genocide. Does supporting Israel mean you support genocide. Some say yes. Do you think we should ban Israel supporters from expressing their views on campus? Clearly not. Language is always context dependent, and meaning depends on a speakers intention. The universities actually supplied the correct answer.

Accusing israel of comiting genocide is victim blaming and completely false. Now if you have college kids on campus screaming antisemitic slurs" from the river to the sea" and ignoring the fact that on October the 7th there was an indiscriminate massacre on civilians in Israel based on the fact that they were jewish that means that on U.S campuses you have problems with arab extremism​@juliandoespolitics4275

She is the villain, Sherlock -- note how the well-documented extensive massacre of Palestinians, now at 18,000 and mostly made up of women and children, and which has been driving world-wide protests, and not just on college campuses, was completely ignored in her pursuit of a juicy gotcha. Stefanik is right wing extremist trash, and the university heads should have been much, MUCH better prepared for dealing with that. A serious discussion was never on the GOP agenda here (or for anything else)..

They are not calling for genocide. No one besides zionists are calling for a genocide.

I get what they were trying to do, or at least I think so. The point of the sketch was to "both sides" the issue by portraying both parties as equally incompetent. HOWEVER, that doesn't work when one side is asking simple yes or no questions about the topic of antisemitism and the other is refusing to properly answer. To be clear, I am a liberal Democrat, and I do not align ideologically with Representative Stefanik. However, even I will say that the notion of her being just as incompetent as the people refusing to outright condemn antisemitic behavior is a false equivalency. If they wanted to portray Stefanik in an exaggerated and comedic manner, that's fine, but they should have done so in a way that makes it clear that it's the college professors who we're supposed to be laughing at, not the Congress Members. There's a difference between satire and being the thing you claim to be making fun of, and sketches like this, for all intents and purposes, are a prime example of being the thing.

It originates from the works of 19th-century German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

I mean, they had Kate McKinnon singing Hallelujah in their 2016 cold open because Hilary Clinton lost an election that she had zero chance of winning anyways. They've pretty squarely positioned themselves as very dramatic, annoying, pompous, spineless *liberals,* but not leftists, in my opinoin. I don't think SNL has the guts to take a principled stand on anything like a more radical marxist would, cuz they would prob lose money doing so and they are pretty loyal to their corporate sponsors, which most socialists & communists aren't big fans of lol. Case and point, this horrendous sketch they fumbled through bc they couldn't decide what questionable morals they should adhere to, so they took some weird middle ground and now nobody, left or right, is happy. A Marxist rendition of this sketch would probably say the whole congress is right-wing, genocidal maniacs, which idk if u agree or disagree with, but regardless, that would certainly be a more firm, leftist stance than whatever wishy-washy shit they did here.

remember when SNL was actually funny with sketches like "2 wild and crazy guys" or "rosanna rosannadanna" misogynistic and racist. That's what's funny. Someone getting kicked in the nuts is funny because deep down we all enjoy the suffering of others. The crusification of jesus christ must have been a laugh riot.

They hate women who have opinions differing from theirs.

@@AsHellBored SNL isn't for boomers

Surely you jest.

Yes! They made sport of all the women, while Kenan's character got a pass.

Love this skit. She nailed Stefanik without mercy. Totally shredded her nauseating fakery

Idk the blue bears was pretty bad too, on top of being plagiarized.

Omg! That's what I'm feeling. I didn't know it had a name. Lol

My absolute favorite response.
