Kyle’s Mom Rips Benjamin Netanyahu A New One in Tonight’s ‘South Park’

Once Sheila Broflovski is done with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he’s going to be feeling like Eric Cartman circa 1999.

As the original moralizing mother of the South Park universe, Kyle’s Mom is famous for taking principled stands that build into full-on righteous rage, but a war criminal she is not — well, at least, not since South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. As such, it’s generally unwise for any individual, organization or government in the South Park canon to make an enemy of Mrs. Broflovski, as her tenacity, her fury and her superhuman capacity for histrionics make her the most formidable nag in both South Park and in the entire world.

In tonight’s new episode of South Park Season 27, “Conflict of Interest,” ignorant questions over Kyle’s Mom’s stance on the conflict between Israel and Palestine — and a Polymarket bet hinging on her own military capabilities — drive Kyle’s Mom to the brink, and she closes the episode by flying to Tel Aviv, barging into Netanyahu’s office and absolutely excoriating the Prime Minister for, as she puts it, “Making life for Jews miserable, and life for American Jews impossible!”

At the top of the episode, we learn that prediction markets betting is the latest fad to take over South Park Elementary School after the last episode's Labubu craze. There’s one wager on the Polymarket app that has Kyle incensed: “Will Kyle’s Mom strike Gaza and destroy a Palestinian hospital?” Furious at how the gamblers of South Park have conflated American Jews living in Colorado with the very Israeli military, Kyle spends all of “Conflict of Interest” attempting to having the bet taken off the app, calling it anti-Semitic. Cartman, naturally, wants to push the odds even further and make some quick cash.

When South Park citizens continue to pester Kyle’s Mom about her stance on the conflict and insinuate that she may take matters into her own hands, the former founder of Mothers Against Canada resolves to “find the person responsible for all this, and give them a peace of (my) mind.” After a flight to Israel, Kyle’s Mom somehow yells her way into the office of Prime Minister Netanyahu, where she tears into him and his entire war cabinet for “killing thousands and flattening neighborhoods, then wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s some shield from criticism!”

Given that the Broflovski family is based on Matt Stone’s own upbringing as a Jewish-American person growing up in Colorado, we can reasonably infer that Kyle’s Mom’s latest rant came straight from the South Park creator’s own feelings on the conflict, which makes me wonder: Is Matt Stone becoming his mom?
