Watch the latest "news" from the BBC

"Eretz Nehederet" ("A Wonderful Country) is a satirical television show by the Israeli Broadcaster Keshet. To my understanding, this is the Israeli version of SNL.

Even when they speak truth to power their message gets distorted and summarily dismissed. Take Dave Chapell, for instance.

It is a biting take on why the Western media was willing to believe Hamas about the hospital. It's dark humor but maybe it's the message you don't like.
