Boy George joins Eretz Nehederet as election satire exposes 'monkey business' in Israeli politics
Boy George joins Eretz Nehederet for its final episode before Israel's elections, as the comedy show takes aim at Netanyahu, Eisenkot, campaign scandals, and political rivalries.
The final episode of the Eretz Nehederet comedy show aired on Channel 12 on Tuesday night, just prior to Israel's elections on October 27. The special edition focused on the contentious election campaign, featuring a special appearance by former Culture Club frontman and rock icon Boy George. Boy George, known for his vocal support of Israel, danced to "Karma Chameleon" and playfully remarked, "I'm not a haredi, I'm a hare-diva."
In the skit, Boy George met Yoseph Haddad, a pro-Israel influencer and IDF veteran from the Arab Christian community, who is currently second in the polls. Haddad, known for his controversial past, kissed Boy George and launched into a rant about the riots in France, before joining Boy George in singing a song criticizing Hamas and accusing them of genocide in Gaza, using the same tune as "Karma Chameleon."
The show also highlighted some of the most outrageous comments made during the campaign, such as Channel 14 panelist Yotam Zimri's racist slur against Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot, which was parodied on the show. The government's attempts to distance itself from these racist commentators were also addressed, with Netanyahu appearing on the show, surrounded by a photo of the late Babi Sali, and pledging to replace himself if no suitable candidate emerged.
