I don’t (and I’m not Jewish), but I can see how it might.
The way I see it, if it was a joke to poke fun and it was good-natured, it shouldn’t be offensive. I mean the Zucker brothers who were writers on the movie are themselves Jewish, so they thought it was hilarious. All that being said, I don’t get to speak for Jews as to what they find offensive.
Are you Israeli? I ask because you only took the parts of my comment you wanted then got mad at me about it. Or maybe all Israelis are “overly sensitive”
The directors (Zucker brothers) are themselves Jewish. Any cancel culture reaction would as silly as the fake-controversy over Speedy Gonzalez, everyone in Mexico who heard about it were scratching their heads in puzzlement, how some white people who got hold of a bullhorn puffed themselves up like a peacock in heat virtuous “white savior who knows better than us” gatekeeping.
Do people here think this is offensive to Jews?

I’m just curious because I’m Jewish and I don’t know of any Jews who would find this offensive.
If the plane was rubbing its hands together and yelling “oy vey shut it down” I’d probably hear a dog whistle somewhere.
Yeah, this feels like silliness rather than malice.
That’s more of a Mel Brooks line anyway 😉
Maybe if it were an ad for an airline.
I can’t really imagine why people would think so, in context if the movie.
It might offend some overly sensitive Israelis or Zionists but they are not representatives for all Jews.
I’m not sure you’ve met a real Israeli in your life if you genuinely think this would be offensive to them.
