The passing of neighborhood activist Shai Paz has ignited controversy due to harsh reactions from left-wing activists Yisrael Freye and Barak Cohen. Freye posted on social media that "the world is better off without her," a sentiment that drew criticism. Cohen, in a post addressing Paz's death, instead wished illness upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, writing, "May your deceitful leader go, God willing, from illness."
These statements stand in stark contrast to an older tweet from Paz, resurfaced in light of the controversy. In that tweet, Paz wished Cohen a recovery when he experienced a cardiac event, despite their long-standing public and ideological disagreements. Paz was a prominent figure in the struggle for residents of South Tel Aviv and against illegal infiltration into Israel, advocating for the rights of long-term residents.
The "Central Bus Station Environs" association eulogized Paz, describing her as a leading figure in the fight for the security of South Tel Aviv residents and their right to live safely in their homes.
