Eretz Nehederet Roasts Greta | WATCH

In a bold return to form, Israel's premier satire program, Eretz Nehederet, unleashed a sharp-witted skit on October 23, 2025, poking fun at climate activist Greta Thunberg and fellow Western protesters from the recent Gaza aid flotilla. The segment portrays the group in comedic disarray, scrambling for new causes after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire halts the Israel-Hamas conflict, leaving them "out of a job" amid a suddenly peaceful Middle East.

The nearly three-minute clip, which has exploded across social media with millions of views, features impersonators of Thunberg and her flotilla companions lamenting the end of hostilities. Highlights include quips like "War is worse than gluten!" and the activists brainstorming absurd alternatives, from protesting plastic spoons for climate change to joining unrelated global crises. The satire underscores perceived hypocrisy and ignorance among pro-Palestinian Western activists, a theme that has resonated strongly in Israeli circles.

Shared widely on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the video has drawn polarized reactions. Pro-Israel commentators have hailed it as "brilliant" and "spot-on," with posts praising its takedown of Thunberg and the flotilla crew.

This episode comes hot on the heels of real-world events that inspired the parody. On October 1, 2025, Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud flotilla, a convoy of boats carrying activists, including Thunberg, aiming to deliver aid and break the Gaza blockade. Thunberg and around 170 others were detained and later deported, sparking global protests.

Just nine days later, on October 10, a ceasefire brokered by the U.S. ended nearly two years of fighting.

Eretz Nehederet, often dubbed Israel's answer to Saturday Night Live, has a history of tackling hot-button issues with unapologetic humor. This season's premiere also included jabs at figures like Donald Trump, blending political commentary with timely laughs.
