Minutes before Queen Elizabeth's funeral, Moab Verdi, a "Kan" messenger to London, stopped four British mourners who had come to pay their last respects on the banks of the Thames.
With an Israeli lack of tact, Verdi argued with them about the need for a monarchy, and what this queen has already done.
The older interviewees maintained British politeness, but did not understand what the troll wanted from their lives.
What Vardy did is parallel to stopping bereaved parents at the entrance to a cemetery on Memorial Day to argue about the need for the army;
And that characterized what happened yesterday (Monday) on the Israeli channels.
Lack of inclusion and understanding of the historical event.
On the screen are orchestras, ceremonies, sermons, royalty and splendor, and the studios are full of changing commentators who are babbling.

The common discussion was about the fate of the monarchy in the United Kingdom, and estimates of when it will break up.
Watching the English channels shows that the last week actually united Likad and only strengthened the public's connection to the royal family, but the Israelis know better.
"They don't cry like they cried for Diana," Rafi Rashef quipped, while Gil Tamri, who was present in London, abandoned the funeral to travel by taxi live and look for a "ghost city", as he said.
In the studio they reassured "don't panic, there's a driver in the car, he's sitting on the right side", and finally the driver dropped Tamri off on the dead end road.
Longing for Mecca.
