A viral social-media campaign poking fun at The New York Times was the No. 1 Twitter trend in Israel, even garnering the attention of the nation’s official Twitter account.
The newspaper published an article on Oct. 26, titled “Whose Promised Land? A Journey Into a Divided Israel,” in which the publication’s Jerusalem bureau chief Patrick Kingsley used depressing and somber descriptions to depict Israelis and their country. In response, the media watchdog organization CAMERA launched a social-media campaign on Monday called “#SadSadIsrael.”
Israelis have been tweeting joyous pictures of themselves with the satirical hashtag #SadSadIsrael. Photos show them at weddings, restaurants, the beach, bars and concerts, dancing in bomb shelters, on hikes and enjoying time with family and friends.
Some Twitter users also noted that in March, Israel was ranked the 12th happiest country in the world by the World Happiness Report, and the year before, the 13th.
Ini said: “Kingsley’s ‘journey,’ and the 5,000-word essay that followed, said a lot more about the ideological agenda of The New York Times than it did about Israel.”
New York Slime is Goebbles always repeating the big lies and always in bed with the Nazis pushing this narrative. It’s like the dirty demorats calling everyone a racist who don’t vote with their lies and agendas. What a disease within themselves. Why would anyone buy their garbage not fit to print.
