I'm not being paid, I'm not running away


Lizzy Savetsky didn't get to bed until almost 4 a.m. after a marathon World Zionist Congress voting session that saw Yair Netanyahu's proposed appointment blow up carefully negotiated coalition deals.

"Last night was a very long night" the Texas-born influencer-turned-activist told Albi Wednesday morning. "We were at the voting session for the World Zionist Congress. And let me tell you, it was chaotic in a fun way."

The 39th World Zionist Congress had become the morning's biggest headlines across Israeli media, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son being positioned for a senior role in the World Zionist Organization."We were all in that zone," Savetsky explained about the split between delegates debating resolutions in the main auditorium and the backroom negotiations where "everything was kind of falling apart at the seams." She only learned about the Yair Netanyahu controversy after leaving the venue well after midnight. "It's gonna take a couple of weeks for things, the pieces to get put back together."

The money question

When Bouskila raised the WikiLeaks revelations about alleged Israeli government payments to influencers – reports that had swept up Savetsky's name – the 40-year-old mother of three responded passionately.

"I have never taken one dollar from the Israeli government," Savetsky stated bluntly. The accusations stem from a September 2025 meeting she attended with Prime Minister Netanyahu in New York, which coincided with WikiLeaks publishing documents about a $900,000 "Esther Project" allegedly paying American influencers up to $7,000 per post for pro-Israel content.

Arrogance Without Purpose

  The time for denying, deceiving, and delaying has come to an end. Saddam Hussein must disarm himself–or, for the sake of peace, we will lead a coalition to disarm him. By its past and present actions, by its technological capabilities, by the merciless nature of its regime,  Iraq  is unique As a former chief weapons inspector of the UN has said, the fundamental problem with  Iraq  remains the nature of the regime, itself. Saddam Hussein is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction. We’re making ourselves look like the bully of the town  kind of cowboy shot first ask questions later attitude. We are not rejecting any resolutions of the Security Council.  I think now the Security Council will go to  Baghdad  and have all facilities, feel free to search any site in  Iraq , even the sensitive sites, or so-called presidential sites .  We would do anything really to finish with that item, with the question ...

Good Men

  I thank God that I was here to witness and to be a part of honor being given to men who have lived their lives and given their lives to make life better for others. I am happy to see my brothers honored, because what I know of them and their great works, honor that you receive today can never pay for the sacrifices that each one of you have made to improve the quality of life of others. But, who really knows these men? Who really knows the path that they have trod to get to where they are? These men who are honored today: Their story can never be fully known by their contemporaries. We can read about each of their accomplishments; we can hear them in a sermon or on the radio, or personally experience their goodness, but that’s not all to their life story.
