Controversy Erupts Between Meshi Kleinstein and Yoav Eliasi (Hatzel)
In a heated exchange that has captured public attention, actress and singer Meshi Kleinstein criticized the Israeli government for opposing the establishment of a state investigation committee into the tragic events of October 7. In her social media post, she expressed outrage at the decision, labeling those who voted against the proposal as "enemies" of the state. Kleinstein's comments sparked a fierce response from former rapper Yoav Eliasi, known as "Hatzel," who took to social media to defend the government's stance and insult Kleinstein personally.
Kleinstein's post included a list of 51 Knesset members who opposed the inquiry, stating, "Those responsible for the worst disaster since the founding of the state want to choose for themselves who will investigate them!" Her remarks resonated with many, but Eliasi's reaction was swift and derogatory. He dismissed her concerns, calling her a "pea-brained idiot" and accusing her of being part of a political faction that seeks to blame Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the tragedy without a fair investigation.
Eliasi's Response and Accusations
In his lengthy rebuttal, Eliasi criticized Kleinstein for her perceived hypocrisy, arguing that her call for an investigation was biased. He suggested that any inquiry should not pre-determine guilt, particularly towards Netanyahu, and should include a balanced examination of all parties involved. Eliasi claimed that Kleinstein's allies in the extreme left had contributed to the weakening of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) through legal petitions that he argued compromised national security.
He further accused Kleinstein of fostering division, stating, "Understand? Hamas and Hezbollah are not enemies, but we are enemies." Eliasi's post was filled with conspiracy theories and allegations against various groups, including the media and military leaders, suggesting they were complicit in the failures leading to the October 7 events.
Kleinstein's Call for Support
Following Eliasi's tirade, Kleinstein reached out to her followers for assistance in addressing Eliasi's comments, asking, "Who is my friend and is going to make a report on the post of 'Hatzel'?" This call to action highlights the growing tensions in Israeli society regarding accountability and the political narratives surrounding the October 7 massacre. As both figures continue to engage in this public feud, the discourse reflects broader societal divisions in Israel regarding governance, accountability, and national security.
