I want to talk about Noa Tishby. But not for too long. Because
she doesn’t deserve that much attention and her story doesn’t deserve that much
air.
Noa Tishby is an actress who used an official platform, granted
her by an Israeli prime minister, Yair Lapid, to blacken the name of the State
of Israel in the public sphere. She did so by writing a damning, nay treasonous
article about the Netanyahu government in Ynet.
From the JNS:
Last month, Tishby wrote in a Hebrew-language article in Ynet of the reform initiative, “I will say it in the sharpest and clearest way: Diaspora Jewry and Israel’s supporters in the world are shocked. They are shocked.
“With great pain they look and see how the country they fiercely defended—in Congress, in the media, on the networks or in front of foreign—is changing its face.” This is “not a reform, but a coup,” she added.
Noa Tishby is entitled to her opinions, but not to air them.
Because her appointment
as “first-ever Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization”
was to a diplomatic position. She was/is supposed to be speaking well of the democratically
elected government of the Jewish State not only for the duration of her tenure
as envoy, but forever after. Once a diplomat, always a diplomat. To be or do
anything else is more than just bad form—it’s to betray your country and your
mission, and show yourself a fraud.
She was always a fraud. A “defender” who hands the world
moral permission on a platter to engage in “legitimate criticism of Israel” thus
giving license to legions of antisemites to bash Israel. And if everyone can
bash Israel, why shouldn’t she, Noa Tishby, in
her capacity as “first-ever Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and
Delegitimization?”
When I heard that she spoke out against judicial reform, calling
it a “coup,” I said to myself, alone in the privacy of my bedroom, “FIRE. HER.
A**.”
And that’s exactly what Netanyahu did. He fired an actress (Noa Tishby) who had been appointed by a high school dropout (Yair Lapid) to defend the State of Israel and the Jews.

It is with disappointment and sadness, but an enduring determination, that I can confirm that the current Israeli government has dismissed me as Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and the Delegitimization of Israel.

To be fair, the former envoy isn’t “just” an actress. Noa Tishby is also (if one might legitimately criticize her—it’s just an opinion, that's okay, right?) a traitor, a sell-out, and a latter-day version of Benedict Arnold. Only Jewish.
