Last night, during a record time for the popular Patriots show, which has broken viewership records time and time again, Yinon Magal, the channel's undisputed media star, said of the party in Reim: "It's been long enough for me to be able to say what has been sitting on my heart for a long time - it bothered me very, very much that people were dancing there with a statue of Buddha." According to Magal, the hundreds of young men and women who were slaughtered, raped, and burned at the party brought the bloody and death party upon themselves because of the statue that was at the party place.
Magal's response to the media hype created by his remarks is far more outrageous.
"I didn't understand why the left feed was so moved by saying that it bothered me that people in Nova were dancing with a statue of Buddha," he wrote. "Yes. I am Jewish. Dos. Faithful. Religiosity. And a statue of Buddha symbolizes idolatry for me. And it bothers me. Simple. May I?"
The sharp-eyed will notice the word 'left' that a sickle threaded into his answer. The truth is that those who were outraged by his horrific statement were good Jews left and right, ultra-Orthodox, religious and secular. Many people who do not pretend to know divine accounts and as human beings the only thing that bothers them is the fact that hundreds of people have been raped and slaughtered there. Not how and with what they danced before.

Although Magal expresses himself as a Rebbe, he is not a religious person and his resume in the field of morality is not impressive. He is secular, traditional, who lives in Tel Aviv, and Netanyahu's eating of predation does not bother him on normal days. Nor Eyal Golan's past, or the moral affairs associated with the prime minister's son's name.
This cynical division of the greatest catastrophe in the history of the country is not accidental, and its transformation into a political polarization that distinguishes between left and right is cynical, disturbing and dangerous. In another appearance on the Patriots, Magal quoted very devotedly when he answered those who asked him where God was on the seventh of October, that he was not where He was not wanted. Once again, an attempt to blame good, honest and innocent people for the horrific disaster that occurred while they were unable to recover from the horrors, evacuated, thrown away and bleeding. Breathing bereavement, eating death.

According to Magal, who believes in an angry God who cruelly and immediately pays those who do not obey all the commandments written in the Torah, God is also not where women are harassed in the workplace. He is not where people lie, steal, humiliate and hurt, do not keep Shabbat, and have fun. There are offenses for which sickle makes assumptions. God's name is there and even for it. And there are horrific transgressions, like the Buddha statue, that bother a sickle in the eye.
We do not know where God was during the October 7th Holocaust. But we know that there are many question marks as to where were the people who were entrusted with and entrusted with the security of the state. Starting with turning a blind eye to explicit warnings from intelligence officials and observers begging to be listened to. How Rauma said before her daughter and her three grandchildren were slaughtered: "This is not a decree from heaven, it is a man-made omission." And to cover up this man-made omission, some would viciously use the massacre for political polarization between right and left.
