It seems people don’t know how a single tweet can cause bad publicity, but in another case of careless use of social media, Judy Mozes, the wife of Silvan Shalom (Israel’s Interior Minister) tweeted a racist joke against President Obama which led to an outrage on Twitter.
The tweet has since been deleted, and supposedly it was in Hebrew. It was brought to light by a certain Twitter user:
Who are you addressing? Not Israelis or you would have made that racist remark in Hebrew. You have our full attention, @JudyMozes. 2/2

No patience for anyone attempting to garner support from racist Americans by making racist jokes about Pres. Obama. Shame on you, @JudyMozes

A screenshot of the racist tweet was captured in a CNN post 
Judy Mozes then issued an apology:
I apologize, that was a stupid joke somebody told me.

Funny enough she tweeted this in her “defence” which it seems like it was some sort of revenge about a joke she heard
President Obama I shouldnt have written the inappropriate joke I heard. I like people no matter about their race and religion.

She further apologized about her actions:
Sorry if I caused any offence to anyone. I hope I will stay married when my husband will land and hear what I did.

Her actions are coming at a time where the US-Israel relationship is strained thanks to political reasons between the two countries. As it is usual with social media shaming, I won’t be surprised if her husband divorces her due to the negative publicity she generated.
