You would think Mark Zuckerberg would know this. He is Jewish. The new name for Facebook “Meta” means “Death” in Hebrew.
Facebook’s new name makes people laugh in Israel. Meta, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg proudly christened his parent company this week, means “death” in Hebrew. And that causes a lot of hilarity on social media.
Until now, the group behind the social network was also called Facebook. But the parent company is changing its name to Meta, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced this week. The new name fits better with Zuckerberg’s ambitious plans to develop a new virtual world. The social media app will continue to be called Facebook. The company behind it also owns Instagram, WhatsApp and Oculus.
Since the announcement, especially Jewish users poke fun at the name change. Meta is very similar to the Hebrew word for “death,” tweeted tech expert Nirit Weiss-Blatt. “The Jewish community will ridicule this name for years to come,” she wrote. Other twitterers also point out to Facebook the unfortunate choice of name.
Facebook’s new name is now a joke in Israel. But others find it more sinister.

Others noted that the music to the Universal Death Squad was playing in the background when Zuckerberg made the Meta announcement.

Facebook is involved in censoring conservatives and the truth, election fraud, and COVID media manipulation. Maybe Zuckerberg did know the name of Meta in Hebrew.
Don’t think for a minute that this is just Mark Zuckerberg because it’s not, far from it. The world’s wealthiest people are spending untold billions, laboring day and night to create a digital world into which they intend to plunge the whole of humanity. Elon Musk is working on self-driving cars and digital currency, Bill Gates wants all humans to be forced to have a digital ID, Jeff Bezos a centralized global economy, Google is creating armies of soldier robots, and they all are using AI to do it. The Bible warns about such a time, a time of signs, miracles and wonders where images come to life and the people fall down to worship as they receive the Mark.
If it was any other language than Hebrew, it wouldn’t have bothered me a bit and I probably wouldn’t have even paid attention to it. But the fact that in Hebrew, God’s language, the word “meta” means “dead” is not funny at all, but prophetically shocking.
All the more so when you take a look at the digital prison that is being constructed all around us.
