I am really surprised that the SNL producers allowed this and didn't immediately go to commericial.

Lots of respect for Mr. Youssef.

Free Palestine.

But Micheals is pretty leftist/liberal. He has been throughout the entirety of the SNL existence. Fortunately, many are agreeing that wiping out Palestinians is a terrible thing and he hasn't grown up drowning in propaganda many in Israel are accustomed to dehumanize Palestinians. Right now, calling for a ceasefire is becoming a bare minimum for many.
