Is this offensive to Christains?

First of all, this is just Israeli television. There is no Zionist content to it, any more than one can call ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox "American Revolutionary TV" or "American Modified Capitalist Democratic Republican TV."
Second of all, it's a humor program. Humor programs are frequently mocking or mildly offensive to the easily offended. Why this novel or interesting? Religion is gently mocked all the time on American TV, on the Internet, on British TV, on Canadian TV, and I assume on the TV programs of many other nations also. How is this worth anyone's attention?

That show in reverse would provoke an uproar in North America.

I found it fairly amusing and, actually, not that offensive. Pretty tame stuff, really. You could tell it was nothing but a joke. Satirical, in a way.
But may G-d strike me down if that girl isn't totally hot. Yes, she called Jesus a Nazi on TV, but mmm, mmm! Her face! Oh, yes, baby, yes! Does anyone have her name?

What is the difference between this and South Park or Family Guy?
(And yes, it helps that she was hot!)

Quite, there are particular episodes of South Park especially that I'd say are far more insulting to Christians.
Of course, it's hard to think of a group that hasn't been insulted at some point by those shows. Hell, atheists got a two-parter in South Park.

Some people might find stuff like that offensive, but I try not to be offended by such things. It just proves people who don't follow a faith don't really understand it.

LOL. this is a 'Zionist' program? :no: it's an Israeli satire program. I'm sure that if you watch enough episodes you'll also see satire about Moses and parting the red sea.
'Please save us from hot women in a bikini top'? people need to lighten up, unless they are begging to be offended. Southpark mocks every religious group in existence, and most of us find it hilarious, especially when they target our group.
have you ever watched other Israeli satire? we mock everyone, but most of all we mock ourselves, our political leaders, our religious establishments, and our everyday people.

Excuse my lack of knowledge. What exactly is deism? Sounds eastern or maybe French.

Nah, god's emotions and ego wouldn't be so fragile as to be bothered by something so silly. Your attempt to bring god down to our level by attributing human characteristics to god (such as petty anger) is likely far more insulting.
