This is not an act of the state of Israel. Its an act of a comedian. Sorry, its not against the law to engage in jokes, even those in bad taste (and I`m not suggesting that this was or was not). Did you notice today that Holocaust victims are furious with a u-tube spoof of Adolph Hitler throwing a fit because he can`t find parking in Tel Aviv?

Let`s put one other thing on the table. Making fun of a highly secure, invulnerable group, is not the same as denying the holocaust. The former on its face is a joke and the latter is deadly serious because it seeks to deny a terrible historic reality that Jews have been persecuted ever since their lands were occupied by the Italians (yah, Romans) and Arabs starting in the first century a.d.
