    I think there’s a discussion to be had about satirising the in-group vs satirising the out-group, especially when it comes to how privilege intersects with this stuff.

    Obviously there’s the whole both-sidesism thing and also how equal opportunity bigotry primarily serves the interests of the dominant groups.

      I think the main joke about Elan morrad isn’t how racist Israelis are though- but it’s certainly a part of the setup.

      the joke is that Americans can be conned into insane Islamophobia because they worship the Israeli “security” apparatus.
