In the pre-taped bit, three passersby try to convince Chalamet, an aspiring musician, not to jump off a building to his death. Though the man's music was truly atrocious, they promise to support him on social media ― until learning his band is called "Hamas," pronounced "Hay-mus." "Dude, I'm not sharing a song by Hamas on Instagram!" one of them shouts at Chalamet. After the sketch aired, people wondered why "SNL" would make Hamas the punchline following the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel which killed a reported 1,200 people.Over 10,000 people have reportedly died since Israel began bombing Northern Gaza in retaliation. Do you think the joke was in poor taste?
