Overview
The Miryam Segal TikTok Controversy refers to a controversy about videos from Israeli TikToker Miryam Segal (@miryamsegal) that were posted during the Israel-Hamas Conflict in late 2023. The primary video that spurred backlash toward Segal included Hebrew text that roughly translated to, "That feeling after we beat Gaza and have Disneyland, Sephora, Starbucks and hotels with water parks instead." Segal also garnered negative reactions for participating in the Israelis Mocking Palestinians TikTok Trend. Her videos and translated screenshots went viral via reposts on Twitter / X where much of the controversy manifested in October and November 2023.
Background

The video was reposted by TikToker[2] @nevertrustdmtelves on October 25th, 2023, who criticized the clip for being horrid and inhumane, gaining roughly 159,800 plays and 16,200 likes in 15 days (shown below).

In November 2023, backlash levied against Segal manifested en masse following the discovery of a since-deleted TikTok of hers posted on October 11th, 2023, which had text that roughly translated into English reading, "That feeling after we beat Gaza and have Disneyland, Sephora, Starbucks and hotels with water parks instead." On November 2nd, TikToker[3] @.montse.t posted a stitch with the video, gaining roughly 2,900 plays in a week (shown below).
