The Knesset channel decided to end all the Jewish wars in the field of division and rupture - and for the war none other than Miron London was recruited.
But even before we could say "and then the irony killed itself by jumping off its side", we sat down to watch.
Or rather, hear.
From a television point of view, it is nothing more than a podcast, but precisely because of its scarcity, listening to the message that was so lacking during the Jewish wars is created.
The choice to release such a work into the air, on a night when the entire people of Israel mourns for gratuitous hatred - understandably, the choice of London raises a bewilderment: beyond his extensive historical knowledge and his ability to be flamboyant - his militant statements against parts of the nation are well known: he called on the settlers of Hebron to break their bones, after the Miron Barha disaster If the truth is "I am not sad on this day... we and the ultra-Orthodox are not members of one nation".
London added and wrote "thousands of identical silhouettes moving at a uniform pace on the television screen. What do I care if a few dozen of them fall like identical cardboard figures on the range?".
The question arises: is this a provocation to create a discourse that will reach beyond the channel's ratings, or a self-correction journey of the man himself?
It is not certain that London can investigate the major political disputes from the time of the Bible to the present, such as the reasons for the division of the Kingdom of Israel and Judah, the disputes between Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai, and what was the dispute between the Hasmoneans and the Mathews.
Some ultra-Orthodox members of the Knesset tried to prevent the program's rise with delusional claims that it could lead to a rift in the nation, "especially in light of the elections."
At least according to the first episode, those who try to prevent it from going out into the world are making a bitter mistake: in the episode that dealt with the popular war "Israel the First against Israel the Second", London arrived calmly with the aim of learning and really getting to know Jews unlike him.
The obvious choice was to invite Dr. Avishi Ben Haim, but the choice that turned out to be wise was Dr. Avi Picar, a historian who grew up in Yeruham.
London sat attentive and intrigued by the insights of the doctor in the studio, who gave an intelligent pate to every question and racist claim of London to the eastern public.
Progress has been made in the peace process.
"The Jewish Wars", the Knesset channel, were we wrong?
We will fix it!
