Caught between two homelands, Israel and Turkey, Linet has long navigated the fragile intersection of identity, music, and politics. After condemning Hamas and saying Israel committed genocide in Gaza, she now faces a tsunami of both antisemitic abuse and accusations of treason
Just two weeks ago, Turkish-Israeli singer Linet Menashe released a new video to accompany her Turkish megahit "Meğerse" ("It Turns Out"). The original video garnered over 13 million YouTube views since its release, and the new video has gained over 1.2 million views in less than two weeks. On Spotify, she has two million monthly listeners and a whopping 175 million streams. The new song is currently in fourth place among her songs there and, with over 11 million streams, is still climbing.
