Eretz Neheret never fails to disappoint. This time, they take on Zohran Mamdani and his blatant Jew hatred.
Eretz Nehederet (Hebrew for "A Wonderful Country"), Israel's top satirical TV show on Channel 12 (like SNL or Saturday Night Live), aired a hilarious skewering sketch on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, targeting Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and frontrunner for New York City mayor.
The sketch mocks Mamdani's controversial anti-Israel activism and his awkward attempts to court NYC's massive Jewish population (over 1.3 million strong) ahead of the November 4, 2025, election.
Core Punchlines: An actor plays Mamdani in a faux holiday video. Instead of the traditional Jewish New Year greeting "Shana Tova" (Good Year), he wishes Jews "Intifada Tova" (Good Intifada), a savage twist on the violent Palestinian uprisings (1987–1993 and 2000–2005) that killed over 1,000 Israelis, many in suicide bombings.
He declares his love for classic Jewish foods like bagels... and Hamas (instead of hummus), blending cultural nods with terrorism jabs.
It's 1.5 minutes of deadpan absurdity, highlighting Mamdani's real-life baggage: refusing to fully condemn "Globalize the Intifada" (seen by many Jews as a call for worldwide violence against them), vowing to arrest Netanyahu in NYC, blaming IDF training for NYPD "brutality," and accusing Israel of genocide.
Why now? Mamdani's campaign is a firestorm: He upset Andrew Cuomo in the June primary but faces blowback from Jewish leaders, rabbis (1,000+ signed anti-endorsement letters), and even some Democrats over antisemitism fears. Polls show him neck-and-neck with Cuomo (independent) as early voting starts.
The clip is gold, pure Israeli satire roasting hypocrisy.
