A stormy confrontation and loud voices erupted this morning between journalists Baruch Kara and Avishai Ben-Haim during the live broadcast of Netanyahu's trial on Network 13. In view of the appearance of the prime minister awaiting his trial, Ben-Haim said: "A truly tremendous success for the elite in bringing the Prime Minister of Israel, who is a national symbol, the most successful Jew in the world in the 21st century, made him the number one target of the Israel Police."
At this point, Baruch Kara interrupted him.
"I do not like to say as a colleague and I try to be gentle," he said.
"The things you say now are not an opinion. It's a lie. It's important to say things. You come and say that the elite marked and set it as the number one target - it's lies. It's not the opinion of a TV commentator sitting on the panel, it's important for me to say that I'm sitting next to you. The truth about it, Avishai - these are lies. "

At this point the two began to raise their voices at each other in a way that made it impossible to understand their words.
Finally, Kara said: "What you are doing now in the news studio you work for - you are spreading lies to the public. The lie is that you state that the State of Israel has made Netanyahu the number one target. Why is it a lie? Because I, as a legal commentator, covered many events here. For example, you, Avishai Ben-Haim, say, 'Olmert is not like Netanyahu.' I, as a commentator on News 13, come and tell you - Olmert is just like Netanyahu. In what sense? In the sense that he is a citizen and he is a citizen. It is my journalistic duty, with all the inconvenience involved, to come and tell the viewing public watching us that you are spreading lies. "
Ben Haim responded: "I explain again and again what the social process is. Bourdieu teaches us about processes in which a person has not only economic capital but social capital and cultural capital. What happened is that once a popular public, from Revolution 77, began accumulating social capital and cultural capital, the elite incriminates Him, the elite causes it in the 4000 case ... "
" So what you are saying is that all the systems here are rotten, "Udi Segal, who presented the transmitter together with Tamar Ish Shalom, told him.
"I'm not saying that - I'm arguing that hegemony, and we know it throughout history, is instinctively defensive. God forbid I do not think people are bad. The fact that we see that in fact from 77 the entire political system is incriminated."
"Does it only bother you when Netanyahu is here?" He shouted, "Do you convey the messages only from the mouth of Netanyahu or any politician?"
"These are very non-collegiate and very unattractive things," Ben-Haim told him.
"I would have been happy to be a collegiate but I am first and foremost a journalist," Kara replied.
