A report on Channel 14 reveals statements by writers of the satire program 'Eretz Nehederet' and other creators, who admitted that changes in government affect their work. David Lifshitz, one of the senior writers, agreed that 'it is challenging to laugh at a left-wing government'. Chief editor Muli Segev said that in recent seasons the program has become more identified with the writers' positions. Screenwriter Guy Adler admitted that when the right is in power, he has more work, and said that 'there is no satire when Lapid is in power'. Adler called the Religious Zionism party 'the Judenazi party' and claimed that there are Nazis in the Knesset. The report presents these statements as an admission that Israeli satire is politically biased.
