No matter how hot the political temperature, Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s show can be counted on to go for the jugular. And with Brendan Carr in a mountain of poo and Israel’s PM in its sights, the latest episode doesn’t pull any punches

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.

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!

Bullshit. If they couldn't say anything a little more prescient about what's going on in Gaza they shouldn't have said anything at all. They know God damn well what Israel is doing and I do too, and so does the writer that put the headline on this article originally.
