Israeli singer and songwriter Judith Ravitz has sparked controversy on social media after users noticed her sharing content aligned with the right-wing and liking posts from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Rapper and right-wing activist Yoav Eliasi, known as 'The Shadow,' commented on the situation in a Facebook post, noting the apparent shift from Ravitz's past participation in anti-government protests to her current online activity.
Eliasi criticized what he described as the left's disappointment and feelings of betrayal, stating that their 'wet dream' of a multicultural Europe with riots and Islamic laws was being challenged by Ravitz, whom he called their 'icon.' He highlighted her past performance at an anti-government rally in Kaplan Street, Tel Aviv, where she sang the national anthem, contrasting it with her recent 'pro-Israel' content and 'like' for Netanyahu.
Eliasi further addressed the negative reactions Ravitz allegedly received, including curses, hateful wishes, and threats. He empathized with her, drawing from his own experience as a public figure facing backlash for his political views, and predicted she would 'pay a price' for her stance. He acknowledged the pain of seeing former admirers turn into enemies due to differing opinions.
Concluding his post, Eliasi directly addressed Ravitz, offering support and praising her courage. He stated, 'Dear Judith Ravitz, I want to tell you something from the heart. We support you, we commend you for the courage to stand behind what you believe in and not give in to pressure, and we want to tell you welcome to the truth side. You are not alone. The people of Israel send you a big hug.'
The controversy began after a report on the TV program 'HaTzinor' on Channel 13 revealed Ravitz's shift in online activity. While she participated in an anti-government protest in August 2023, she has recently been sharing pro-Israel advocacy videos and political content associated with the national camp. In a conversation with 'HaTzinor,' Ravitz confirmed her responsibility for her social media activity, stating, 'I am aware of the actions I am taking. No one is operating my Instagram, it is my private account and I take full responsibility.' However, she avoided declaring allegiance to a specific political camp, emphasizing, 'I am in reality, I am not on the political map.'
