Watch the latest "news" from the BBC

"Eretz Nehederet" ("A Wonderful Country) is a satirical television show by the Israeli Broadcaster Keshet. To my understanding, this is the Israeli version of SNL.

It is a biting take on why the Western media was willing to believe Hamas about the hospital. It's dark humor but maybe it's the message you don't like.
