Twitter’s Misfortunes: The User Who Declared Netanya Israel’s Safest City…and Became the Joke of the Day
It must be said, Twitter didn’t miss the opportunity for a good joke!
The small user Moses a data enthusiast, has made waves here.
He proudly posted a card showing that Netanya was the safest city in Israel – “without missiles and without alarms.”
Well… less than 24 hours later, the famous “diamond city” joined the statistics with its first alarm since the start of the war. 😅 Of course, the user has become a living meme on the Internet, his post becoming the target of mockery and jokes. So what will be the next city to avoid according to Moses? 🧐
Moses and his counter-current predictions
Eldad Sitbon aka “little Moses” on X (formerly Twitter ), first gained attention during the period of Crown thanks to data analyses that were out of the ordinary. But since Crown gave way to other crises, the restaurateur-analyst turned to a more explosive subject: the missiles . Yesterday, one of his tweets blew up, but not in the way expected.
Sitbon simply posted a map of israel with red dots marking the areas affected by the alarms so far, adding the magic phrase: ” So where is the safest place in Israel? We checked… As you can see, almost the entire country is red. Only one special zone is free of alarms: Netanya! »
Well, irony struck this morning, when Netanya the city that was supposed to be spared, woke up to the sound of alarms at 06h30 like its neighbors in Gush Dan .
Twitter Doesn’t Forgive – Especially Not Moses
Less than an hour after the first alert, Twitter had already taken Moses’ statement by storm. Between jokes, memes and trolls, Sitbon quickly realized that he had become the king of blunderers But, as a good player, he knew how to bounce back.
This morning he tweeted that after another “thorough review” he had discovered a city even safer* than Netanya. A little nod to history: this city hasn’t had an alarm since 2006 during the Second Lebanon War ! that gives us at least 17 years of respite for that one!
Moses was not alone in playing the prophets of the day . David Oppenheim had also tried a little joke about Netanya’s immunity.
Spoiler: this joke has not aged well just like the predictions of Moses. But enough about missiles! Let’s move on to the most delicious part of Twitter : THE reactions Internet users!
Moses himself has managed to keep his sense of humor. Faced with the reactions of the Twittersphere, he posted a cult scene from the series Community to poke fun at himself. Another notable tweet came from an account that specializes in Israeli culture. They brilliantly linked the incident to a song that Moses’ nickname comes from, ” little Moses ».
Netanya’s curse lifted…but who’s next?
What should be noted is that the stigma of immunity Netanya’s alarm was not new. It had been dragging on for almost a year, but this morning’s first alarm put an end to that urban legend Internet users, always on the lookout for good jokes, did not fail to illustrate the situation with film and television references hilarious.
But beware, the story does not end there! Now that Netanya has fallen, Twitter I designated the next victim of Moses: Hadera . Some users, in a mocking tone, have already called on the residents of Hadera to prepare shelters “because Moses said so”. 😆
Conclusion
For now, Twitter continues to delight in the “naches” of Moses, but remember to keep an eye on the Home Front Command directives . You never know, Moses’ next prediction might come true… or not. In the meantime, get ready for the next national joke!
* The city that has not received missiles since 2006 East Hadera . During the operation Wall Guard In 2021, this city had not been targeted either, thus reinforcing its reputation as a place relatively spared from attacks.
