Fashion designer and content creator Sapir Avissarur has faced significant backlash online after expressing her political views. In a series of videos, Avissarur shared that she received a flood of negative messages and insults after stating her opinion.

Avissarur emphasized that it is her "full right" to express her thoughts and that differing opinions do not diminish her intelligence. She criticized the public expectation for influencers to publicly declare their political stances, comparing it to forcing someone to jump off a roof if they are unwilling. She stated that this was the last time she would discuss politics in the near future.

While many messages praised her for her courage, one user crossed a line by sending her sexually explicit content, which left her speechless and brought her to tears. Avissarur urged people to respect each other's opinions, even when they differ, noting that the country already faces enough troubles.

The controversy began when Avissarur commented on a video by Yair Golan, expressing concerns about the upcoming elections. She stated that while change is needed, it should not come at any cost, and stressed the importance of remembering that Israel is the "nation of the Jews" and the only such country in the world. She explained that the word "change" was initially appealing but further reflection led her to believe it was far from her own beliefs.
