Hilarious 'Blame Israel' App Goes Viral | WATCH

In a sharp-witted jab at pervasive anti-Israel sentiment, former Israeli government spokesman David Keyes has released a viral video promoting a tongue-in-cheek "Blame Israel Reminder" app, designed to ensure users never miss an opportunity to pin global misfortunes on the Jewish state.

Posted on X (formerly Twitter) on September 17, the clip features Keyes in a casual home setting, lamenting how "a lot of terrible things happen in the world, but sometimes you forget to blame Israel." He then unveils the fictional app, which purportedly scans news 24/7 and sends instant alerts for events like celebrity murders ("Obviously Mossad"), horrific pandemics ("Gotta be the Jews"), or market crashes ("Come on, that one's too obvious").

"Don't ever find yourself in an uncomfortable position where someone else is blamed for a tragedy when you could have easily pinned it on Israel," Keyes quips in the 43-second video, adding a dig at unchecked social media sharing: "Thank goodness no one checks facts anymore before sharing idiotic hot takes on socials."

Keyes, who served as Netanyahu's foreign media advisor from 2016 to 2018 and is known for his advocacy work and pranks targeting authoritarian regimes, links the "app" to the App Store in the post, but it's a satirical ruse, not an actual download (for anyone who wasn't sure).

Reactions poured in from across the spectrum. Mike Huckabee called it "brilliant," while pro-Israel outlets like World Israel News highlighted it as a clever expose of reflexive blame directed at Israel.

Keyes' bio on X emphasizes his commitment to "total victory" amid ongoing regional conflicts, and this latest effort aligns with his history of using satire to counter narratives he views as unfair. As one commenter noted, "It's funny because it's true, too many headlines seem pre-written to fault Israel first."
