If South Park can't get away with this one after their entire history of shows, even the shit episode where they literally said they were trying to see if they could get kicked off tv, then we know Israel has WAYYYYYYY too much control over society.
Muslums got the super friends episode taken down but that was a long long time ago. And ya know, we cant have antisemetism!
True. Admittedly I haven't seen this episode yet, but I'd say going after Bibi is a bit different than offending Muslims by insulting their religion. I'd seriously hope they don't pull the antisemitism b.s just because they make fun of Bibi.
That's one of the things that has been so infuriating in the US lately. Can't criticize a state for their actions because Jewish people live there and so somehow a criticism of the actions of the state means you hate Jewish people... :/
Thats antisemetism in a nut shell. It really has lost all meaning
The Super friends episode parodied/insulted Mohammed who is a religious figure. Netanyahu is a politician and not a religious figure so he’s fair game.
I didn't see the insulted part.
Is that like how they have to take down all the Jesus ones?
You might need to rewatch that episode understanding that recreating any living being’s image is a violation of the prohibition against graven images in Judaism/Islam.
TIL the south park drawers are Muslim
Im not suggesting they are. Im explaining why Muslims see making an image of their prophet so offensive.
It's #3 on most versions of the 10 Commandments so in theory it shouldn't be done by any Abrahamic faith but Rome really liked graven imagery so Christians have statues and paintings of their religious figures.
I think there were threats of violence involved in the super friends one.
No, there was no violence, it was just because they made muhammed (the god) a character and muslums find it offebsive to depict their 'god'
I said threats of violence, not actual violence.
You mean threata of violence against South Park by muslums, correct?
Yes, they were threatened by a group called Revolution Muslim.
Ok, I miss read your comment lmao Yeah, religious groups tend to have extreme radicals
Funnily enough, I felt like they skirted the satire line quite well with the Israel portrayal.
It was accurate but not that overly offensive (*except to those who deny a holocaust and hospital bombings). It almost felt like they held back on "attacking Israel".
They could have at least given Net&yahoo the Plan B treatment.
Let's see what the future holds!
