While the Israeli right is demanding the insult of Yaakov Bardugo, who was fired from the IDF, I actually see this as a positive step in the right direction.
Over the years, the military station has been criticized by the Israeli right. , Which leaves the tone of voice sympathetic to the people of our peace. In my eyes, these are too many words. The claim about a political agenda is secondary. Too many hafarim.
It was not the bias to the left, but the inferior product that made me stop listening to IDF waves a few years ago.
The Bardugo-Galatz affair is only a parable.
For that matter, the Bardugo of Gali Tzahal is worth more than the Bardugo of Gali Israel. The right-wing Channel 14 was built according to the same patterns as the other propaganda channels. The same studio, the same look for presenters, the same jargon. He better think again.
There is no cure for the Israeli media.
The opulence, the masses, the low standards - all of these are no longer fixable.
These systems have passed the point of no return, and the aspiration of the right to return there is foolish.
A failed radio station is not the end of the world, but becoming an educated and wise right-wing public is precisely what Darshani says.
Because in the end, even the most right-wing listener will not treat news as "real" if it is not presented to him on the same plate, in the same language and in the same accent as they are presented on the left channels.
Unconsciously, the Israeli right-wing media measures itself against one bar: the left-wing media.
In the absence of other alternatives this limited view may be understandable and humane, but still lost and useless.
If not the pattern of left-wing media, what is?
If there is no alternative, where will Bardugo broadcast tomorrow?
These are good questions that I have no answer to, but perhaps we are on the verge of a path that ends in an answer.
"Israel Today", Channel 14 and Radio Gali Israel are welcome enterprises.
Alas for the right if he did not have them, and without detracting from their importance it must be said that this is only the beginning.
It is better for the Israeli right to recognize its own scale of values and stop being ashamed of it.
The national camp should shake off a bloated stateliness and start speaking in different jargon, thinking in a different language.
The presenters must look different, speak differently, respond to a different set of values.
Maybe this is the true reading of these days.
Perhaps the Minister of History brought the defeated right down to the locker rooms, only to make a mental reckoning towards the second half.
Perhaps the time is ripe to leave the familiar and comfortable and seek for ourselves another communication.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
