A fierce public dispute has erupted on social media between Israeli social media personality Yoav Eliasi, known as 'HaTzel' (The Shadow), and his relative, comedian Noam Shuster-Eliasi. The conflict began after Shuster-Eliasi posted a photo supporting the creators of the documentary film 'Nez'a,' which has drawn international controversy.
Eliasi harshly attacked his relative in a public post, disowning her and stating, "Blood is not a kosher certificate, and anyone who calls our soldiers criminals and claims Israel commits crimes against humanity is no less than my enemy." He specifically targeted her support for the film's directors, Yuval Avraham and Rachel Shore, calling her an "Israel-hater."
Shuster-Eliasi, who has also written opinion pieces for the outlet '+972 Magazine,' responded this week in a now-deleted post. She claimed Eliasi's public attack inadvertently boosted ticket sales for her performances, leading to another round of accusations. She thanked him for the "family attention" that generated significant "traffic" and led to sold-out shows, including an added performance in London.
Eliasi quickly retorted, calling her response "tedious and unbearable whining." He reiterated his stance, stating, "No matter how many tickets you sold, remember they are at the expense of our soldiers' blood." He also advised her to check if people are laughing with her or at her during her international performances, adding, "There is a difference between being the comedian of the evening and being the joke of the evening. Idiot. Oh yes, and I still stand by what I said: you are as funny as a fissure."
