Israel Fry - Exposure with Haim Etgar (Kashet 12)
After he was fired from the Demorat TV channel under a strange and controversial incident, and was even summoned to a police investigation following a tweet he wrote, the Knesset channel understands the new political climate - and recently shelved entire scenes in which Fry appears from a movie that will soon air on the channel - this is how Wala found out!
Barangay.
About two months before the elections, Frey was approached with a request to participate in a film by director Amit Perbman from the production company corners for the Knesset channel that would "describe the story of the tribes in Israeli society through the elections".
The concept included the accompaniment of several familiar figures on election day, one of them being Fry.
Indeed, on election day, Frey was accompanied by a camera crew for conversations and voting at the ballot box, when according to sources in the production company, most of the recorded conversations generally revolved around deep processes in the ultra-Orthodox sector and religion-state relations while focusing on the personal biography of Frey, an ultra-Orthodox himself.
According to the sources, the materials received were of high quality as well as the events that accompanied the filming, and Fry himself was already updated on the time of the broadcast.
Wow!
Baranja learned that after the work on the film was finished, with the parts in which Fry appears interwoven in it, the Knesset channel gave the production company an order to censor most of the parts in which he appears and to reduce his appearances to a minimum.
At the same time, it was decided to postpone the broadcast of the series to a date close to the inauguration of the government.

Following a complaint by a right-wing organization, an investigation was opened
As you may remember, about two months ago Fry published a tweet in which he praised the terrorist Mohammad Minawi, who planned to carry out an attack and was arrested in Jaffa.
The terrorist Mohammad Minawi said in his investigation that "he was looking for soldiers, and when he did not find any in Jaffa - he procrastinated, which allowed him to be captured by the HSM fighters." Following the reports, Fry tweeted: "Look what a hero is.
He made it all the way from Nablus to Tel Aviv, and even though all the Israelis around him somehow take part in oppressing, crushing and killing his own people - he still looked for legitimate goals and avoided harming the innocent.
In a reformed world, he would have received a medal." As a
result of the tweet, he was suspended, and about a week ago, as mentioned, he was fired. Later, following a complaint by the right-wing organization "Betzalmo", he was even summoned to a police investigation. The
complaint claims that this is incitement to terrorism and violence and that this is encouraging and praising an act of terrorism. Fry, the police investigator who summoned him, told him that the investigation was approved by the prosecutor's office, due to his being a journalist, and that the investigation was based on a tweet he had written.
Frei later wrote that "the new government is already here. It is violent, fascist, instills terror, allows the blood of political opponents, and now wants to scare me. Our dear country is being controlled by anti-democratic forces, the Minister of Police is an avowed nationalist, and I have no intention of the head".

Knesset Channel: "The decision suits the channel's values"
Israel Frey
chose not to comment on things.
The Knesset Channel
responded: "Next week, the Knesset Channel will broadcast the film 'Speech of the Tribes.' and the most reflective of the political situation in Israel. Israel Fry was one of the interviewees in the film. However, due to professional editing considerations, the interview with him (as well as interviews of other personalities) was omitted from the final edit.
At the same time and unrelated to the editing of the film, a controversial tweet was published in which Fry called a terrorist caught on the road for carrying out an attack 'a hero in a reformed world would have received a medal.
'
"The Knesset channel believes that there is no place for statements like the one Frey said, and we insist that he does not deserve to be interviewed in a central production of the channel that covers the election night in a professional, balanced and responsible manner as the channel practices in all its transmitters, but it is important to emphasize that the initial considerations for removing him from the film were professional And any attempt to frame them as censorship of the channel is not accurate at all. Knesset Channel will continue to be the most responsible and balanced channel in Israel."
