"They are boycotting him because he is Russian": Storm on the web following Netanyahu's video
The new election video published by the Prime Minister compares the social boycott experienced by children to what he defines as a political boycott against the Likud. The controversial campaign video was met with sharp criticism and accusations of manipulation on social media.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published a new campaign video on the X network on Sunday, in which he compared the boycott experienced by children in educational institutions to what he calls the "political boycott" against him and the Likud. The cynical reactions were not long in coming.
Ronel Adani shared an AI-generated image on his X account depicting Netanyahu as the "Crying Boy" (by Italian painter Giovanni Bragolin) with the caption: "I really liked the new Likud campaign."
Udi Hirsch wrote on X: "'What a man, the devil's humor' (lyrics: Shlomi Bracha)," while sharing the campaign video uploaded by Netanyahu.
Li Malach responded on her X account: "Bibi's boycott video leads to one clear conclusion — a total loss of composure in the Likud campaign. This is not a campaign for a Prime Minister candidate; this is a primary campaign of a small candidate. Delusional."
"Because he is Russian"
Attorney Dan Adin shared the video on X in which Netanyahu claims to represent immigrants from the Soviet Union within the Likud, and wrote sarcastically: "The truth is that they are boycotting him because he is Russian." He further added: "Let me understand, if someone does not want to vote for you because they think you are a terrible Prime Minister, are they 'boycotting' you? There is no limit to the gaslighting."
