Channel 14 presenter Noy Bar launched a sharp attack on the popular humor and content page "HaPshuta" via her Instagram account. Bar shared a screenshot of a "HaPshuta" post urging the public to vote in elections, criticizing those who abstain during this complex period. She captioned the image, "Another one who thinks we are stupid. Read and move on to the interpretation in the next story." In a subsequent story, Bar presented a detailed analysis, criticizing what she perceived as the underlying messages of such posts. She interpreted the message as, "What is he saying? 'There's been a war here for three years because of Netanyahu, so go vote for someone else.'" Bar questioned, "Do you understand what it means not to identify the enemy even after a massacre like October 7th? Netanyahu is guilty, not the enemy in the region who dreams of destroying all Jews and taking their land." She also addressed the public discourse on hostage deal negotiations and combat policy, contrasting political viewpoints. "This is the whole story. The people of 'now', 'deal now,' 'peace now,' 'elections now', versus the people of 'eternal Israel,'" she stated.
