Social media users ridicule Israel's 'white coloniser game show' video

Social media users have ridiculed Israel's official account on X after it published a parody video where Israelis were asked whether they are "white colonisers".

In the video, which aims to challenge the argument that Israel is a "settler colonialist state", social media influencer Zach Sage Fox asked Israelis sunbathing on a Tel Aviv beach whether they felt they fit the description.

If the "contestant" responded with "no", they were given a prize of 100 shekels ($26.9).

On Monday, less than two days after being published, the video had amassed more than six million views but had also garnered a stream of criticism from thousands of social media accounts.

Many highlighted that while they agreed that not all citizens of Israel were white colonisers, all of the "contestants" who featured in the video hailed from countries outside of historic Palestine.
