“Israel’s most impressive innovation, more than any high-tech project or Rafael weapon, is our amazing ability to ignore what is happening mere kilometres away to our neighbours.”

An Israeli comedy show host’s scathing criticism of Israeli society has gone viral on social media.

In the last episode of “Good Night with Asaf Harel”, aired by Israel’s Channel 10, the show host calls Israel an apartheid state and scolds the “dormant” Israeli society for ignoring the occupation and overlooking what Israel is doing to the Palestinians.

“A whole people transparent, like it doesn’t exist,” he continued. “They are here even if we don’t speak of them or recognise them.”
