Sivan Rahav’s exciting post: Against the background of the rising violence in the streets, many statements are heard about the violence in Israeli society, the journalist Sivan Rahab, chooses to look at it from a different point of view. In a post she posted on Instagram, the journalist says that if we generalize about the bad things, then we should also generalize about the good things that are happening in the country.
Sivan Rahav Meir’s post:
“We have a tendency to generalize” writes Meir and continues. “A few days ago, Yuri Volkov was stabbed to death on the street in Holon. It’s terrible. But very quickly we jump to the sentence ‘This is a country where people are stabbed in the streets.’ I would love for you to meet me at a price, I am a disabled person and every shekel is important to me,'” she writes.
The exciting post that captured her
“The post reached more than 260,000 surfers in a short time,” Meir continues in the story. “Countless shares and comments, as if the entire feed just wants to help the rare. A wave of digital kindness: “I’ll gladly buy you a car”, “If it didn’t work out, contact me and I’ll be happy to help”, “We’re a car agency that wants to give you a car”, and on and on.”
“Sami Styrov finally won the mitzvah: “Dear friend, choose a car that suits you at a price, I will buy it for you”, he wrote, and immediately after him Daniel Shmueli wrote: “I have a selection of cars, you can come and choose any car you want, and pay as much as suits you”. On Wednesday of this week Nadir arrived from Ashdod, Sami took a day off from work and waited for him at the train station in Haifa and took him to Acre, to Daniel. In the end Nadir even insisted on paying for the car.”
The inclusion of Sivan Rahav Meir
Then Sivan Rahav gets to the point of the post, where she explains that if she is going to generalize, then she chooses to generalize everything: “So if we are a “country where people kill in the streets”, you can generalize in the other direction and say that we are a country where tens of thousands of people help a disabled person they don’t know to get a car to his wife”.
