  • Left-wing activists Yisrael Freie and Barak Cohen criticized for harsh reactions to Shai Paz's death.
  • Freie stated the world is better off without activist Shai Paz.
  • Barak Cohen wished Prime Minister Netanyahu illness in response to Paz's passing.
  • An old tweet shows Paz wishing Cohen recovery from illness.
  • Shai Paz was a prominent activist for South Tel Aviv residents and against illegal infiltration.

The recent death of neighborhood activist Shai Paz has ignited controversy on social media, with harsh reactions from left-wing activists Yisrael Freie and Barak Cohen drawing widespread criticism. Freie posted on his social media that "the world is better off without Shai Paz." Meanwhile, Cohen, a lawyer, used a post about Paz's passing to wish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu illness.

These statements stand in stark contrast to an old tweet from Paz herself. When Cohen experienced a heart event, Paz, despite their public and ideological disagreements, publicly wished him health and recovery. This past tweet has resurfaced, highlighting the disparity between Paz's past compassion and the current reactions from Freie and Cohen.

Paz was a prominent figure in the struggle for residents of South Tel Aviv and against illegal infiltration into Israel. She was known for her advocacy for the old neighborhoods and her opposition to government and judicial policies on the matter. Organizations like "Central Bus Station Environs" eulogized her as a key figure in the fight for residents' security.
