Media personality Judy Shalom Nir Moses, it turns out, paid a considerable personal price for the unfortunate tweet on the social network Twitter that was directed against President Barack Obama.
In an interview for a program on Channel 2, Judy was asked about the attitude of her husband, Minister Silvan Shalom, according to her, and whether they "reached the rabbinate"?
Shalom answered with complete seriousness: "Almost. This time it was really close. He was very, very angry, didn't talk to me for two days. At the level of 'I can't take it anymore'.".

When Judy was asked how she came up with this tweet, she said: "I was in London, sitting at a friend's place at lunch with a lot of people, and one of the guests, one of the most prominent Jews in England, asked the hostess for 'Coffee Obama.'.
""I asked him what that means? And he, as a Jew who is very concerned about the American government's attitude towards us regarding Iran, said, 'It's black and weak coffee.' It made me laugh a lot, and everyone laughed, so I went on Twitter.".
Early last week, Judy Nir Mozes Shalom - the wife of the Minister of the Interior, who is in charge of the strategic dialogue with the United States - tweeted a particularly unfortunate tweet on her personal Twitter account, directed at the US president.
""Do you know what Obama coffee is?" Nir Mozes asked her followers - and she answered: "Black and weak.".
Shalom's tweet was quoted all over the world, and she quickly realized it was a not-so-funny joke that made fun of the president's skin color. She quickly deleted the tweet, along with a new one: "I apologize, that was a stupid joke someone told me.".
She later tweeted, addressing Obama: "I shouldn't have written that inappropriate joke I heard. I love people regardless of their race or skin color. I apologize if I offended anyone.".
