Using Comedy in Times of Trauma
Erzne derit, Israel's number one satirical program, returned to the airwaves during a time of heightened tension and conflict. The show's creators believe in the power of laughter and comedy to provide a sense of relief and normalcy during difficult times. While the focus of the show was shifted away from politics due to the ongoing conflict, they did include one skit that satirized Prime Minister Netanyahu's handling of the situation. The show's decision to continue airing despite the circumstances was met with both praise and criticism, but they felt that providing a temporary escape through comedy was important for the mental well-being of the audience.
