Iconic Israeli singer Yehudit Ravitz sparked public discussion after sharing right-wing political posts on social media, defending her digital activity in a recent interview.
Renowned Israeli singer, composer, and creator Yehudit Ravitz has recently sparked public discourse following her activity on social media. Followers noticed that the iconic musician has been sharing posts, videos, and likes associated with Israel's political right wing.
Speaking in an interview with the television program "HaTinor", Ravitz addressed the online buzz without expressing any regret over her digital footprint. "Great, nice discourse. Perfectly fine. This discourse is not false, so you got your answers," the singer told the interviewer.
She further emphasized her personal accountability for her online presence, noting that her social media profiles reflect her awareness of current events. "I am an artist, I do likes, I do shares. There you can find the answers you want. I am aware of the actions I take. I do it. This is my private account, I do it with full responsibility. I am in reality, I am not on the political map."
Ravitz, who rose to prominence in the late 1970s with her emotional performance of "Slichot" at the Israel Song Festival and her work with the legendary children's album "HaKever HaShesher Esre" ("The Sixteenth Sheep"), has enjoyed a prolific career spanning decades. In 2024, she made a triumphant return to the stage for reunion performances and released a new album titled "Ani Misham" ("I Am From There"), featuring collaborations with Yizhar and Elay Ashdot.
