Journalist Netta Seroussi claims that the Jewish state owes her \u201ca long list of apologies.\u201d Social-media followers disagree with a vengeance.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

If there were an Olympic sport for self-pity in a flourishing country, Israel might finally take home the gold\u2014courtesy of its most comfortable citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a March 27 post on X<\/a><\/span>, Netta Seroussi\u2014a staffer at Channel 12<\/i>\u2019s \u201cUvda\u201d (\u201cFact\u201d), hosted by bleeding-heart Ilana Dayan\u2014was clearly vying for the coveted medal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn my area code, there isn\u2019t a single person who isn\u2019t thinking about emigrating\u2014some in practical terms, others as a wish,\u201d she wrote, with readers understanding full well that the reference was to Tel Aviv. \u201cIt\u2019s long since not just high-tech workers and doctors. Public-sector and third-sector employees, with no real employment prospects abroad, are willing to throw years of local experience into the garbage in order to give the next generation a different future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Never mind that this isn\u2019t how the rest of us, including residents of the White City, perceive the sentiment of our neighbors; if that\u2019s Seroussi\u2019s experience, so be it. But her follow-up rant revealed the real motive behind her observation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think about my grandmother, Alisa, who spent weeks vomiting on a ship from Montevideo to reach the Promised Land, or about my grandfather, Dov, an Irgun activist who was a prisoner of Zion in Africa for four years,\u201d she stated, adding the clincher, \u201cOf everything on the long list of apologies that the state owes me, this is perhaps the most unforgivable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One has to admire the sheer audacity of her words, even if her syntax leaves much to be desired. To invoke the trials and tribulations of her grandparents, who embodied the essence of Zionist history, to whine about her plight in the modern miracle of the Jewish state they helped to build goes beyond chutzpah.<\/span><\/p>\n

Worse than that, she actually believes that the state owes her multiple \u201capologies\u201d for failing to meet her expectations and those of her \u201carea code\u201d peers. Not the majority, mind you, but a narrow slice of society: urban, for the most part, economically secure and culturally influential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, her insulated bubble was burst by a slew of social-media followers who couldn\u2019t tolerate the spoiled-brat attitude.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following comments constitute a taste of the outrage on the part of Israelis who rejected her complaints:<\/span><\/p>\n
