We know that comedy writers have been starved of material seeing as they can’t joke about President Biden, but trying to do a bit on the conflict between Israel and Hamas? At least there’s no question on whose side The Onion is.

Nice anti-Semitism.

Repulsive attempt at satire/humor.
— 🌊Barry Nash🌊 (@barryonash) May 10, 2021
This is supposed to be funny? It's not.
— Carole (@Charlesaw7x77) May 10, 2021
Bad idea guys. Plus this plays into some anti-Semitic tropes. Not your best work

really doing your part guys, nice. if you're lucky you'll get some retweets by people who shoot rockets from school rooftops. totally worth it, so edgy. pic.twitter.com/mdwCry3T5x

Interesting attempt at "edgy"?
— Kevin Lydon (@betdaqsports) May 10, 2021
Attempts at humor based on fictional baby-murder stories trigger me. It’s not biting, cutting political satire. It’s just plain old trash.
— 🌊Barry Nash🌊 (@barryonash) May 11, 2021
Was this funny in German 80 years ago?
— Alan Gura (@alangura) May 10, 2021
Haha funny, now do one about Muslims

It seems @TheOnion needs a primer course on blood libel. Not on how to do blood libel, cuz they're clearly experts on that, but on why blood libel is ALWAYS antisemitic.https://t.co/FhvUKISyAj

Pivoting from satire to antisemitism is an interesting play

The onion was a satirical legend in madison when I was in school there in early 90s. To see it devolve to this hateful antisemetic garbage is just sad.
— Bry‘kee (@lookbryand) May 11, 2021
Whoa. Not funny.
— james claydon (@CThrustmaster) May 10, 2021
Dear Onion: This isn’t even remotely funny. Do better.

I guess to keep the progressives happy you need to produce antisemitism.
— J (@callme_sirJ) May 10, 2021
Whoever wrote this is an absolute disgrace. This fucking world, man. 1933 level anti semitism
— Justin Cohen (@JayCo24) May 10, 2021
Wow what the fuck you guys really aren’t funny anymore
— crease (@covfefe_14) May 10, 2021

— Perfesser Getz (@nealgetz) May 10, 2021
Lulz. Man y’all fail. Your Hamas child bomb was way funnier.

It’s amazing how many people are cheering The Onion for reporting the truth the networks won’t touch, but it’s also amazing how many people are tweeting praise of Adolf Hitler today.
