The defense minister and the gibberish tweet

16 August 2015, 4:57 pm

Edit

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon has left Israelis and others scratching their heads over some of his comments in the past, but he may have just taken the cake with a nonsensical tweet.

The quickly deleted tweet, which includes a link to a Volkswagon ad filmed in Israel, contains a string of seemingly random Hebrew letters and the phrase “Premium Car” in English.

Here’s the ad, expertly screen captured for posterity

And here’s the video, in case you want to know what Israel’s defense minister is apparently salivating over.
