"Do not do it for money: every shekel I earn will be donated"

My wedding is long over, but if you thought Itamar Ami was going to go without a fight, you were wrong, and big time.

From the moment his lawsuit became known to Shani Kedar and the "Political Reader" who collaborated with her, the critics wonderfully repeated his arguments in it.

Now Itamar Ami wants to answer

Itamar Ami Interview (Impact Content Services)

One morning my and my family's phones started ringing unconsciously, a flood of messages.

The wording was almost identical: "Look what was written about you" next to a link to a post by a journalist who states that I am the representative example of what an abusive, violent, predatory, dark, dark and borderline-looking man looks like.

What she did not write about me.

And everything, not "in her opinion," but as if she were describing reality literally.

I read and cringed.

She does not know me!

She saw me on screen for at most a few hours, in such a unique and unusual situation.

She probably understands that I am human and there is more than can be seen on the screen.

After all, she understands how much power and influence she has on women, and in general.

How does she write these horrible things about me?

"Sitting quietly most of the time" Itamar Ami (Photo: Courtesy of the photographers, Elad Weintraub)

It took me a moment, then I realized we had crossed a line here. Even before that, there was criticism of how I was presented at the wedding at first glance, as was done in relation to the other participants (which, by the way, is 100% fine). But no one - certainly not a journalist and a body that calls itself a newspaper - dared to pretend to diagnose my personality structure (not that of the "character", of the human being, flesh and blood) in such a venomous post, and simply incite an entire country to think I am the devil In its incarnation. And when they allowed themselves, others allowed themselves too. It turns out that this is how viral incitement works. I had no idea how fast, painful and dangerous it is. This is how a person's life can be ruined. every human.

I had a hard time. I felt myself being undressed everywhere and whispering. I got hateful looks in the street, ex-partners got calls with hard questions (and between us, totally angled). And by and large, I suddenly found myself in a position I did not wish on anyone: I had to explain myself, every day all day, and convince myself that I was not the same devil abusing.

So why did I sue?

Let's start with the brake No: Certainly not to silence.

After all, the lawsuit is public, and I'm not doing it for money either: every shekel I win will be donated.

I say this with a full mouth.

And why?

Because I was badly damaged.

Hovering over cloudy skies.

Shani and political, with the help of their immense power, have made me from a human being a stereotype of the scum of the human race.

And all, on a platform that claims to call itself a newspaper!

I must make it clear: Shani Kedar never approached me.

She ignored my mother's requests that she wrote to her and tried to explain to her: "There is a man behind the character, you are ruining his life."

It did not interest her that I was a human being, with family, friends and plans for the future.

And they also ignored the notice letter sent to them by my lawyers (because I asked to do everything possible to settle the matter without filing a lawsuit).

"How does she write these horrible things about me?"

It is also important to remember that both politically and politically were not sued because of thoughts, intentions or opinions. No way. They were sued for what they actually published; Because of the decisiveness, arrogance, dangerous incitement and irresponsibility that cause harm.

What has been happening in recent days teaches me that I have rightly filed a lawsuit. Even now, instead of stopping for a moment and doing a mental arithmetic, politically and two are trying to go on horrors; They use violent and inciting means to make me give up my rights.

While they scan me for words, interview and raise money, I sit quietly most of the time. And not because I have nothing to say, but because anything I say will become a campaign against me and in favor of public relations and fundraising of a politically calling. On my back.

I do not expect anyone to understand the hell I went through, and in the same breath I do not wish it on anyone.

But I hope everyone understands: when a media outlet and an investigative journalist expose a sexually harassing, abusive or rapist man, it's an extremely important press.

But, when a media or investigative journalism body - which claims to be objective - deals with wild incitement and pretending to be a person (with whom they have not even spoken) as a representative example of one of the most ugly and despicable phenomena there is at all - it is accompanied by heavy responsibility.

And finally, to commit such a wild shaming on me just because I dared to stand up for my rights under the law is a silencing and several times more dangerous move than filing a lawsuit.

There is a double standard in this.

This is my humble opinion.
