No matter how hot the political temperature, Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s show can be counted on to go for the jugular. And with Brendan Carr in a mountain of poo and Israel’s PM in its sights, the latest episode doesn’t pull any punches

Muslums got the super friends episode taken down but that was a long long time ago. And ya know, we cant have antisemetism!

True. Admittedly I haven't seen this episode yet, but I'd say going after Bibi is a bit different than offending Muslims by insulting their religion. I'd seriously hope they don't pull the antisemitism b.s just because they make fun of Bibi.

That's one of the things that has been so infuriating in the US lately. Can't criticize a state for their actions because Jewish people live there and so somehow a criticism of the actions of the state means you hate Jewish people... :/

Thats antisemetism in a nut shell. It really has lost all meaning

The Super friends episode parodied/insulted Mohammed who is a religious figure. Netanyahu is a politician and not a religious figure so he’s fair game.

I didn't see the insulted part.
Is that like how they have to take down all the Jesus ones?

You might need to rewatch that episode understanding that recreating any living being’s image is a violation of the prohibition against graven images in Judaism/Islam.

TIL the south park drawers are Muslim

Im not suggesting they are. Im explaining why Muslims see making an image of their prophet so offensive.

It's #3 on most versions of the 10 Commandments so in theory it shouldn't be done by any Abrahamic faith but Rome really liked graven imagery so Christians have statues and paintings of their religious figures.

I think there were threats of violence involved in the super friends one.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, there was no violence, it was just because they made muhammed (the god) a character and muslums find it offebsive to depict their 'god'

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I said threats of violence, not actual violence.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean threata of violence against South Park by muslums, correct?

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, they were threatened by a group called Revolution Muslim.
