After SNL skit, NBC under fire again for more anti-Semitic programming

Now a clip from NBC’s “Nurses” is being passed around:

This is the malicious way @nbcnurses portrays Orthodox Jews. Read our response https://t.co/w7ifhHJIUy pic.twitter.com/nH8SD4cKFM

So unlike a certain poorly-worded joke, this is actually anti-Semitic & not remotely how Orthodox Judaism works! I get that lazy ethnic & religious stereotypes have been Hollywood's thing for decades but how hard is it to call up a Jew in 2021? Don't let this happen to your show. https://t.co/u3KqFn0Q8t

Want to avoid deploying nakedly anti-Semitic stereotypes on your mainstream TV show? Want to not get the basics of Jewish law wrong in your script? I am available to consult for extremely reasonably rates. You can pay me in hamantashen.

First @nbcsnl now @nbc 'Nurses' airs a viciously antisemitic episode filled with lies about Orthodox Jews.

"A dead goyim leg … from an arab, a woman, G-d forbid an Arab women … Israel … without this next step you won't walk again".

This is terrible. Orthodox Jews are some of biggest live organ donors. Every rabbi and every organization supports organ donors and donees. This is pure anti-semitism! https://t.co/uTg33BptjB

This is insane.

This is horrible! Imagine if they had a Muslim character say "G-d forbid the leg comes from a Jewish woman!"? The backlash would be enormous.

What the hell! Tipoff that the writer knows nothing about Jews or Judaism is the use of "goyim" as an adjective.

— Eytan Mirsky (@eytanmirsky) February 23, 2021

"A dead goyim leg".

Someone should lose their job just for this line. GOYISH. The adjective is GOYISH, you farshtunkeneh mamzeirim!

And the next person to lose their job should be the person in wardrobe/costumes/hair who thinks that those look anything like payos

What the hell is wrong with @nbc???

— Newsgatherer (@GroupToStopHate) February 23, 2021

I half expected this to be dubbed in English from something produced in Syria. @nbc, this is textbook anti-Jewish propaganda. Yikes.

This is absolute vile garbage

Why doesn't the patient ask for directions to the maternity ward so he can suck some blood while he's there.

This is one of the most offensive things I have ever seen. It's literal Jewface and putting words in Jewish mouths. Jewploitation, like Blaxploitation. How is Jewface OK, but Blackface racist? They are both equally horrible and the writers and showrunners should be fired.

— John Smith (@MacfanJohn2) February 24, 2021

It’s actually very similar to story line HBO used on “Oz” where a Neo nazi who needed dental work, refused it because it was from an African American. Amazing to see the NBC has put Orthodox Jews in that same category.

— SanDKoFax (@SanDKoFax) February 23, 2021

This is a skit – right?

This isn't actually from a show on @nbc right?
