Suggested intro: Over the weekend, “SNL” cast member Michael Che came under fire for a joke he made during the “Weekend Update” segment. “Israel is reporting that they’ve vaccinated half of their population. I’m going to guess it’s the Jewish half,” Che said on the long-running NBC show.

The audience laughed at the joke, but there have been charges of anti-Semitism hurled at the network. Are the critics being over-sensitive?
