If you are also waiting for the end of the news just to know what you will wear tomorrow morning, whether long or short, then the name
Tal Shamai
is probably not a stranger to you. Shamai, who was the main forecaster on network 13 and here on 11, got engaged to his partner
Shahar Cohen
a week ago in Thailand, where they both died. The happy holiday came after the former forecaster quit his job at Network 13 after 12 years.
After the removal of the ring, of course, came the traditional photo and with it the reactions, which according to Shamai, ninety percent of them were difficult.
"A few days ago, my partner Shahar and I got engaged," he began the video he uploaded in response to his Instagram account, "You thought it was no longer a big deal, that it was no longer so exciting, that we no longer needed pride parades, that it was already perfectly fine, that people no longer Excited about it."
"Normally I don't do this, but I went into one of the articles to see the responses, over 200 responses, I think 99 percent of them are what you are seeing right now," Shamai shared, while showing slides of difficult talkbacks who responded to the news.
"Sodom and Amouka, everything that happened in Israel happened because of you, your parents are poor", "a crime against humanity and "your children are poor", were just some of them.
"I somehow developed immunity to it over the years", said Shamai in response to the harsh statements and continued: But I want to say to those who wrote these comments, maybe your children will experience terrible things because of you, because of the comments you write and maybe they will read them and maybe they are like that too. Think twice before you write such terrible things, although I am no longer hurt, but many others are," he signed.
