Eretz Nehederet” (“A Wonderful Country”), Israel’s most popular satire show, broadcasted on Thursday an English-language skit about the most recent Gaza protest flotilla, with one of the comedians playing Swedish anti-Israel activist Greta Thunberg.

The parody starts with three anti-Israel activists sailing mid-sea, as they finally see Gaza’s shores in the distance. Their cries of excitement, however, are cut short when they learn of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Thunberg’s character, instead of expressing joy over the end of the war, cannot help but grow angry.

Eretz Nehederet” is produced by Israel’s Channel 12.
