Controversial Hamas Joke on SNL Sparks Backlash
Timothée Chalamet faced criticism after making a joke referencing Hamas during his hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live." Social media users called the joke "vile" and "tone-deaf" given the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of children. Chalamet's skit with Please Don't Destroy featured a character who shares his music on Instagram under the username "Hamas," leading to backlash and accusations of insensitivity.
