In August 2024, the text of speech against anti -Semitism, which the Croatian actress Mirim Novak allegedly pronounced the UN, spread in social networks. We decided to check the reliability of such publications.
How Report Users of social networks, Novak spoke at the UN Extraordinary General Assembly in New York, held at the request of the leaders of the European Union and the new Arab Bloc. The Croatian actress, who is called the representative of Israel in the publications, begins her speech with a reminder of the Holocaust. Then she criticizes the world leaders, noting that the history of history has not taught them: “Now that we are robbed, beaten and killed in all your countries, and your courts are released by killers to freedom, you tell us that we have no right to defend?” Novak also draws attention to the fact that, despite the centuries -old persecution, the Jewish people gave the world many outstanding scientists, innovators, musicians and actors. “Each nation should give humanity what he does best. The French are cooks and perfumers. The British and Russians are writers and poets. Italians are artists and musicians. The Germans are soldiers and philosophers. And we, Jews, are geniuses, ”concludes the speaker.
The most widespread speech was on Facebook, where its decoding was collected dozens And even Hundreds reposts. Text also shared Users X. Published it is in English.
Mirima Novak - The German actress with Croatian roots, who is shot in both German and American films. “Verified” failed to find information that she had ever performed at the UN. In mid -October 2023, on his Instagram page Novak expressed On the invasion of Hamas in Israel and the subsequent war in the gas sector more restrained than in viral speech: “We must choose humanity - we, Germans, Americans, Lebanese, Egyptians, Israelis and Palestinians. And then the relationship will be different! "
Posts with speech attributed to the actress are often accompanied by a photograph of a woman in a blue suit On the rostrum General Assembly of the UN. However, the results of the reverse search by the Google images show that the picture has nothing to do with the Novak-it depicts Venezuela Venezuela Venezuela Rodriguez during his performances At the 74th session of the General Assembly on September 27, 2019. On the lapel of the jacket, the politician attached an icon in the form of a Venezuelan flag.
Search for an excerpt from the text of speech helped to find it The source - It turned out to be published in 2021 by Eduard Topol’s novel “The Phenomenon of the Prophet”. This is a political thriller, the action of which takes place simultaneously in two temporary layers: in the late 1970s and in 2024. True, in viral publications the text is slightly changed. So, the poplar has a heroine named Miriam Novak-the Prime Minister of Israel, and her speech does not begin, but continues with the words: “As you can see, 80 years ago, Europe, led by Germany, carried out ethnic stripping.” In the novel, the participants of the Assembly before this are demonstrated by the Holocaust scenes "reconstructed by our creators of holographic reality." “All the events of 2024 were invented by the author and at the future there is no happening, and all the events of the last century have gone in history - maybe forever,” - It is said In the annotation of the novel. It is noteworthy that Topol himself has been living in Israel in recent years - he moved there from the United States, where he emigrated back in 1978.
Until 2023, this passage and Published On the Internet, it is precisely as a quote from the book of Topol. The earliest publications we found, where the text is presented as a real speech at the UN, was posted on December 30, 2023 in an anonymous English -language blog DUS IZ NIES !! Rare View ... On the Blogspot platform. No later than February 6, 2024, a similar post first appeared in Russian - on that day, speech was published in Facebook group “All the most interesting about Jews: news, humor, history, poems, songs, inventions” (more than 173,000 participants). Obviously, in the process of returning Miriam, it turned into “mirms”, and the actress appeared in the text only because of the name and surname almost coincided.
Thus, the viral text is not the real speech of the Croatian actress and representatives of Israel at the UN, but an excellent passage from the 2021 novel.
