A new Daily Show sketch skewering a failed bid to impose an anti-Israeli boycott highlights the absurdities and hypocrisies inherent in adopting product bans as a political weapon.
The skit, aired earlier this week, “shows” the Park Slope food co-op in Brooklyn — where a boycott effort was defeated this week — as it takes upon itself to castigate Israel for its actions against the Palestinians by removing Israeli products from its shelves.
Faithful to its skeptical, non-partisan stance, the Daily Show remembers to spoof both sides of the conflict by introducing a counter movement, MHP, which stands for More Hummus, Please.
