Here come the Jews: Hundreds protest satire TV show over depiction of religion
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHundreds of Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox demonstrators gather outside the Kan public broadcaster’s offices in Jerusalem to rally against its satirical TV show, “HaYehudim Baim” (“The Jews are Coming”), over its depiction of biblical and religious figures.
The irreverent and acclaimed show employs sketches of biblical figures to comment on contemporary Israeli and Jewish social, political and religious issues.
The protesters are decrying the show for mocking religion and “blasphemy.”
