Against the backdrop of a widespread wave of attacks against Jews in New York and Los Angeles: Rabbi Shmuel (Shmuli) Botach, the 'Rabbi of the Sables' in the US, purchased a full-page ad in the prestigious New York Times magazine, in which he accused a famous singer and two celebrity sisters of Palestinian origin of anti-Semitism. Rabbi Shmuli claimed in the ad, published in the newspaper's main section, that the trio "accused Israel of ethnic cleansing," and called for the "destruction of the Jewish state," and especially that the singer and the pair of sisters were using false arguments in the campaign they have been waging against Israel since the beginning of Operation Guardian of the Walls. According to a report on the 'Mako' website, the ad in the 'New York Times' accusing her of racism 'enraged' the singer, who decided to respond on her Instagram account and poured more fuel on the fire: "I categorically reject the false and horrifying allegations that were published today In a New York Times ad issued by the World Values ​​Network (Rabbi Shmuli's organization). "This is the price you pay for defending the human rights of Palestinians, against an Israeli government that both Human Rights Watch and the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem accuse of persecution and discrimination." She added: "The World Values ​​Network shamelessly uses my name to promote their ugly campaign while lying and blatantly misrepresenting who I am and what I stand for. I support solidarity for all oppressed people and reject any form of racism.".
