  • Comedian Meni Assayag attacked X user Tal Rosenberg for ending an acquaintance over her Likud party support.
  • Rosenberg boasted online about cutting off the acquaintance, calling her views akin to flatulence.
  • Assayag personally insulted Rosenberg, questioning his appearance and the believability of his story.
  • Other social media users also criticized Rosenberg's public declaration and self-congratulatory post.
  • Rosenberg defended his decision as principled, stating adherence to principles is positive.

Israeli comedian and screenwriter Meni Assayag fiercely criticized an X user named Tal Rosenberg for boasting about ending a budding relationship after discovering the woman supported the Likud party. Assayag accused Rosenberg of fabricating the story for self-aggrandizement and personally attacked his appearance and humor.

Rosenberg had posted on X that he cut off a new acquaintance upon learning she voted for Likud. He used a crude analogy comparing her political views to flatulence, stating he wouldn't enter the same "elevator" as her, while claiming he accepts others "elsewhere." He insisted his decision was principled, not an attempt to hurt her, and that sticking to principles is positive.

Rosenberg's post, intended to showcase his adherence to his political stances, drew criticism from other users. Some found his public declaration pathetic, while one user, who identified as disliking Likud, stated his actions and the way he wrote about it were not something to be proud of. Rosenberg clarified it wasn't a date, but an early-stage acquaintance he ended before meeting.

Assayag's sharp response included questioning the believability of Rosenberg's story and stating, "You really don't look like someone any normal woman would want." He added that Rosenberg's "low and sick humor" reinforced his assessment.
