Nofar, a young woman with 3,000 Instagram followers, posted a video allegedly defaming elderly people sitting at a mall in Be'er Sheva, according to a report. After receiving harsh responses, she said 'even bad publicity is publicity.' The details are unverified beyond the single report.
According to a report circulating on the source, a young woman named Nofar, who has 3,000 Instagram followers, posted a video in which she allegedly defamed elderly people sitting at a mall in Be'er Sheva. The video reportedly went viral, and after receiving harsh criticism, she responded with the comment 'even bad publicity is publicity.' The report has not been independently verified. The Zioneer has previously covered similar incidents of public shaming and social media backlash (see: a woman harassed over clothing at a supermarket in Bnei Brak, July 2; a group of girls assaulting a teenager in Jerusalem, July 7). These separate cases highlight a pattern of social media conflicts in Israel, though each incident is distinct and unverified beyond the initial reports.
