"Toffee and the Gorilla" is an Israeli TV show starring Israeli actress Dawn Rosenzweig as Toffee. The show was titled "The History Program of Toffee the Gorilla." Israeli writer Roy Arad was a scriptwriter for the show, which appears to have aired in 2007 (iakn.us/2GCrjwF). While this show may be surprising to many Americans, there is a long precedent for such anti-Christians views. A book published by Princeton University Press, "Jesus in the Talmud" by scholar Peter Schafer, details the Talmudic passages about Jesus. See iakn.us/2SSZIMh (archived at iakn.us/2GCk5bE). Another Toffee show makes fun of the United States (which gives Israel over $10 million per day). View it at youtu.be/ta7GJV-pEKk
