The musician Daniel Zamir came out strongly against the singer, claiming that his words were a "serious outburst" • "Tired of seeing people eaten with hatred" • Amdursky: "I have a legitimate protest"

Following his harsh crackdown on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, many in the music industry saw Assaf Amdursky as a role model and example of how to behave during this crisis, and yet not everyone connected to the way things were said.

Amdursky's attack on the prime minister

The musician Daniel Zamir wrote a scathing post against Amdursky today (Monday), comparing his remarks to the racist Ko Klux Klan organization, to a persecuting lawsuit against the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and even to the assassination of Shira Banki at the Pride Parade in Jerusalem.

"I nauseafully read a post by my friend Assaf Amdursky, a great musician," Zamir opened the post. In his remarks, he called for a demonstration in Balfour (another word that can no longer be heard) with torches (a clear motif in the events of the KKK, the neo-Nazi right-wing movement in the United States), and compares the Israeli government to the pre-revolutionary Bastille regime in France. The people of the Bastille cut the guillotine). Beyond that, he mocks the fact that Netanyahu is bald and that his only hair is purple. "

More on:

• Amdursky continues to attack Netanyahu

• Assaf Amdursky's attack on the Prime Minister

• "Assaf Amdursky weakens the weak"

So far - a summary of things. Later in the post, Zamir strongly claims that although he is also one of the victims of the crisis, there is a way to resist and protest, while Amdursky's way, in his opinion, is a way of hatred and not of protest.

"I also suffer from the condition, Assaf," Zamir wrote. "I went out to demonstrate, I played and sang near the Social Security offices, I shouted in a megaphone from Aafan 'Bring the money now!', I met with politicians, shouting and shouting wherever possible. Walk, there is a protest and there is a protest.

“I was asked if I was at a demonstration on Saturday, I replied that Walk did not. I was just tired of hearing the cries of 'Three indictments!' And I'm tired of seeing people eating obsessive hatred with murder in their eyes. No matter which side and which direction.

"Whoever compares the Israeli prime minister who was elected in a democratic election to Bastille, whoever calls for a visit to the prime minister's house with torches, is no different for me from the one who issued a persecuting sentence on Rabin or from the one who stabbed a girl in the pride parade."

Zamir later claimed that violence was not the domain of only one side of the political map, and joked with a joke at Amdursky's expense. "Again, for the umpteenth time, proof that despite what is being rumored in the media, violence is not an invention of the right. And finally, Assaf, between us completely - you too are bald. And long before the age of 71."

Amdursky himself responded to Zamir's post. "My dear brother, I did not call for burning or taking violent action, God forbid! Protest against corruption and robbery is a legitimate protest and I also invite you to come before the robber defendant and shout the pain of us all with us. There is no left here and no right and please - the torches are only for the wave Crazy about you, love! "

In another response, Amdursky also referred to a joke about baldness: "Yes, I already have baldness, but I am not trying to hide it with the help of publicly funded professionals."

Later in the thread, Zamir noted that "we are all in the same boat, the boat does not really travel and instead of helping each other and being together, there is always an atmosphere of hatred and resentment. Walk is a situation where I will only come to meet you. A hug."

The post garnered about 30 shares and hundreds of likes and comments; Some support Zamir and some support Amdursky, some claim that the mention of the KKK organization is the most jarring in this whole situation, while others have added Zamir's remarks to other allegations against Amdursky's attack on Netanyahu.

It seems that in one sentence the musician Barak Grossberg summed up the thousands of words spilled in this thread: "Appreciate your sincerity in front of your friend, not a simple situation."
