There are things that cannot be obscured: the interview with Shira Isakov is a must-watch for everyone

With a shaky honesty, the person who survived the murder by her husband Aviad Moshe stood fluently and smartly in front of Ben Shani's camera in "Fact".

With a visible face she forces us to look at her face and not turn our own face, to insist on seeing what we are making an effort not to see and not to hear

Shira Isakov, Fact (Photo: Keshet 12)

I did not see the infamous article of the corporation with Aviad Moshe, which caused a great stir and brought here 11 in an unusual move to apologize for it on the broadcast and remove it from all platforms.

But I have heard enough, and need not be a genius to understand what happened here: the short article allowed Moshe, the defendant who tried to murder his wife Shira Isakov in their apartment in Mitzpe Ramon, to try and take over from his cell the narrative of events, to claim a softened version of what is reported And extreme.

In this respect, the broadcast of the episode of "Fact" (Rainbow 12) on Iscove arrived just in time to clarify and illustrate what the true meaning of the event was.

Although in both cases only one side of the story is supposedly interviewed, there is no symmetry between the two transmitters, just as there is no symmetry between the attacker and the victim.

Context is everything.

Here 11 apologized in the broadcast for the interview with Aviad Moshe: "The broadcast of the article was a mistake"

To the full article

Context is everything.

A broadcast with Iscove is not legally important, and has nothing to gain from it.

Everything that needs to stand next to it appears in the details of the indictment.

He is publicly important, to us and not to her.

Iscove stands with a visible face, forcing us to look at her face and not turn our own face, to insist on seeing what we are making an effort not to see or hear.

Domestic violence is hurting, killing more than 20 women by 2020. Shira Iscove could have been one of them.

With a shaky honesty, the eloquent and clever Isakov posed in front of Ben Shani's camera.

It's a simple document - an interview, illustrations and a few talking heads, no more - but so powerful.

Contrary to what a three-minute article can do, the whole relationship affair of the two is unfolded here, a long way from acquaintance to almost murder.

And the big picture cannot be blurred, and the journalistic role is to bring the big picture as it is.

Shaking honesty.

It is a great fortune that this task was placed in the sensitive hands of Shani, a veteran reporter of the program and a wonderful storyteller ("The Kirschenbaum Diaries", "A Lullaby for the Valley").

In a way that is unfortunately not profitable enough on Israeli television, Shani is an interviewer who listens, and he gives his protagonist all the space needed to process the happenings, without unnecessary voyeurism or pathos.

The deceptive key question that preoccupies Shani, unexpectedly, is the question of signs: When do enough clues accumulate to understand while life-threatening is hovering here?

The answer Shani comes up with is decent but frustrating: the signs are there, but in real time it is very difficult to connect the dots.

Luckily for Iscov, who returned from a murderous attack to testify to this, there were people around who in the moment of truth were able to identify the situation and stop this cycle of madness.

And a small note to conclude: as it turns out, this is a two-part article, whose half-point came with the beginning of the assassination attempt.

The decision to cut the first part before the end of the main event and continue it next week was puzzling, and belongs to other, more sensational content worlds.

It would have been better to end the trauma here, and turn next week to recovery.

Precisely because of the importance of the document, the program system must mediate it in the clearest and most orderly way possible.
