Outraged by an antisemitic betting app targeting her family, a Jewish character blames Netanyahu for creating an atmosphere of hatred toward Jews worldwide.

The satirical animated series South Park recently aired an episode featuring a confrontation between an American Jewish character and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the scene, Netanyahu is accused of deliberately killing civilians in Gaza and cynically exploiting Judaism as a shield against criticism.

Kyle Broflovski, a Jewish elementary school student, is one of the show’s central characters. His heritage has been the focus of numerous storylines throughout South Park, which has aired since 1997.

Broflovski’s outspoken mother, Sheila, often plays a major role in the show. In the latest episode, Sheila becomes enraged after her son encounters an antisemitic app and decides to travel to Israel to berate Netanyahu, whom she blames for the recent explosion of antisemitism in the U.S.

The app, presented as a “social betting platform,” prompts users to gamble on whether “Kyle’s Mom [will] strike Gaza and destroy a Palestinian hospital.” Outraged, Sheila confronts Netanyahu, suggesting he is responsible for the incident.

“Just who do you think you are? Killing thousands and flattening neighborhoods,” the cartoon mother shouts at Netanyahu. She continues by accusing him of “wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s some shield for criticism. You’re making life for Jews miserable and life for American Jews impossible.”

The confrontation ends with Sheila charging, “You know what you’re doing, and you’re doing it on purpose.”

Matt Stone, one of South Park’s co-creators, has said that while he is Jewish by heritage, he lacks any faith-based connection to the religion.

“You know, I’m Jewish simply because I look Jewish, because my mom is Jewish and so I am Jewish,” Stone said in an interview with Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air.

“But I grew up completely secular and completely agnostic and completely unaware of the fact I was Jewish until I was probably 17,” he added.
