Segev is now at work on an animated comedy called "Memkoof 22," or "Army Base 22," with the quality of animation being very similar to that of "South Park," and the 22 a deliberate reference to Joseph Heller's "Catch-22." The show, the first Israeli animated comedy, started running on a small cable channel to test audience reaction, but this month is scheduled to run on one of the national networks.

"It deals with the Israeli army in the same way 'South Park' deals with the American Heartland," he explained. "It looks like 'South Park' - very blunt, hard satire on the army. It's very, very critical of Israel's militarist society and the military itself."

A few months ago, after the Israeli government shipped a bus destroyed in a terrorist suicide bombing to the Hague to protest a Palestinian lawsuit against the wall and fence prime minister Ariel Sharon is having built to separate the West Bank from Israel, Segev and his colleagues gave their answer on the show "Wonderful Country."

"We made a sketch that showed Sharon dragging wounded people from their hospital beds to hug him," Segev said. "You can make fun of politicians who use terrorism for political advantage."
