Michael Che, a co-host of "Saturday Night Live," drew criticism after a "Weekend Update" bit that Fox News reported turned Israel voter turnout into a "genocide" punchline.
According to Fox News, the joke drew sharp rebukes from critics, including the Campaign Against Antisemitism and NewsBusters. The summary of that report describes the criticism as sharp but does not quote the individual objections or say what each critic wrote.
The available material does not include the full wording of the joke, the date of the broadcast, or any response from Che or the program. The Fox News headline frames the bit around Israel voter turnout, but the summary does not explain the context in which that subject came up during the segment.
This story rests on a single report from one outlet and its published summary. Those sources were not checked against the broadcast itself, so the description of the bit as a punchline about genocide reflects how the Fox News headline characterizes it, not an independent review of the segment.
Points not contained in those sources, including any broader reaction beyond the critics the summary names, are not reported here. The Intelligencer has not independently established the content, timing, or reception of the segment beyond what the report states.
