In the first episode of Culture Matters from Israel365 News, Rabbi Rafi Eis explains why politics is downstream from culture and how TV and media shape both what we believe and how we see reality. He takes apart a Saturday Night Live line presenter Michael Che made a joke that lumped Israeli voters into “the right side, the left side, or the genocide,” a pure association designed to brand Israelis as genocidal. He then turns to SNL’s surprisingly sharp “Delta Disruptive” sketch about unruly airline passengers and asks why it found room for antisemites but left out the Islamist terrorists who are the reason for airport security in the first place.
