Correspondence between 2 mothers in which one of the girls is required not to come to the birthday because of a gift/screenshot, no
Two articles in the main editions of channels 12 and 13 were born out of social networks.
On Channel 13, Nega Nir Naaman found the author of the viral post that showed how a woman in Petah Tikva went out to buy milk, butter and yellow cheese at a grocery store and returned with a bill of NIS 102.
On Channel 12 reporter Ziona Desta located the woman who published the post about the mother who was asked not to send her daughter to her fifth grade friend's birthday because she was bringing a gift worth only NIS 50.
Even if at first glance it seems to be a boomerish attempt by the main editions to garner ratings at the expense of viral stories, the articles were not content with just exposing the story but tried to bring added value.
Nega Nir Naaman was not satisfied with just being angry with the anger of the disappointed consumer, but brought important (and very annoying) financial explanations about why basic products cost so much more money in the neighborhood grocery store than in the large marketing chains.
Channel 13 mentioned that those affected by these gaps, as always, are the weaker populations.
The old lady who doesn't know how to order shopping online, the disabled person who can't get to the supermarket, etc.
At the same time, Channel 12 told about the post that seemed to annoy every Israeli who came across it yesterday.
The post revealed a WhatsApp correspondence between a mother who makes her daughter's birthday for NIS 9,500 (not including food for adults) and asks another mother not to send her daughter to a birthday party, because she doesn't have the money to buy an expensive gift.
Didn't add much information but it doesn't matter.
From a News 12 article about an outrageous correspondence between two mothers in Shoham/screenshot, Keshet 12
The article, admittedly, did not add much information to what we had already read all over social media during the day.
It may not really matter, because even on the fifth reading of the correspondence between the mothers, one cannot help but be annoyed by the disturbed detachment of the "investor" mother, who sounds like an exaggerated and unreliable version of Sapir Turtle (wife of Hai, and mother of L'Oreal and Lancelot).
The similarity does not stop only in the nouveau riche conduct, but includes errors in the built-in Hebrew that make all her superiority even more absurd.
And once again, reality manages to be much more exaggerated than "a wonderful country".
One small addition, however, was revealed in the main edition regarding the story of the confiscating tortilla.
It turns out that after the post went online (and was not published by the victimized mother at all) and went viral, the mother who after all wanted her daughter to go to her classmate's birthday was threatened with a lawsuit by the confiscating mother.
How much disgust can be tolerated in one article.
More in Walla!
Yair Sharkey chose to go with the lie in front of him.
In this he sinned against the viewers
To the full article
While Nega Nir Naaman's article about the cost of living touches each of us, the article about the confiscating mother feels a little lacking in news value.
A story that fits Guy Lerer's occupation with a pipe or a roof with Oded Ben Ami.
And why is it still good that this article reached the main edition?
Because even in the midst of the most terrible war we have known in the last 50 years, and during the period of the worst government that has ever reigned here, and even while the streets are full of signs for correction and unity - there is still a rot that pervades Israeli society.
It's a human tear that started long before October 7th.
This is the same rift that leads to the fact that today social networks are divided for and against the families of the abductees.
There is a thin line that runs between a mother who makes a mega-event for her daughter in the 5th grade, and someone who calls for abandoning the abductees in Gaza.
It is the narrow, egoistic view that does not count anyone on the way to "total victory" that has turned the most beautiful nation in the world into a bunch of divided and merciless tribes.
We will defeat Hamas, we have no choice, the question is what will remain with us after "together we will win".
