A faculty member was offended to the depths of his soul, and in one moment proved how accurate his critique was

We really did not want to mess with a faculty member again, but how can one ignore his childish and embarrassing response to his imitation in "Wonderland"?

Maybe before he runs to free the ethnic demon from the bottle, he should check to see if he just did not understand the joke - or at least raise some fashion

Sometimes it is better to just bite your lip and ignore.

This coming November, the satire program "Great Country" will celebrate eighty years before it airs. One of the myths that has developed around Keshet's flagship program over the years is that imitation in Great Country is the final stamp of entry into the Israeli mainstream. "- you're there. refugees from reality dream to see Alma Zack or me finish imitate them, but most of all those politicians, who know that sitting around political panel alongside Kitzis important sometimes much more than just a newspaper headline.

in the program can tell the politicians to communicate and virtually begged role as There were also imitation objects who were offended by their imitation. There were also those who used their imitation to obtain political capital. For example, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who was previously presented with a tribute to Neta Barzilai with cookies made from tefillin houses, He's still getting likes on that post.

Media people, too, naturally received imitations in Molly Segev's program.

The character of Shelly Yachimovich (who became "Heli" on the show) was central in the first seasons, and since then there has been almost no media person who has not passed there: from Haim Yavin and Yonit Levy, through Ehud Yaari and Moshe Nussbaum, to Amnon Abramovich and Oded Ben Ami who was presented as a giant cookie.

Just recently, the well-publicized relationship of Gilad Shlamor and Adva Dadon was presented in an entertaining way on the show, and the couple even shared the sketch on social media in a desirable sporting manner.

Accept the imitation in sportiness.

On the eve of the 2009 election, a new character entered the imitation cadre of "Eretz" when Assi Cohen stepped into the shoes of political commentator Amit Segal. It was not a particularly accurate imitation, neither in terms of appearance nor in terms of vocal mimicry, and the text itself mainly referred to the young appearance of Segal (then 27 years old). "I spoke with several senior members of the Kadima party and they are currently maintaining a tiny bit of optimism, and I also spoke with my mother and she allows me to stay up late," said the character of Amit Segal. Not from the most honed writing moments of a great country, but Asi Cohen as usual managed to get the best out of it as well.

As part of the rules of the ceremony, Amit Segal confronted a day later with his new imitation. In a kind of strange initiation ceremony, Oded Ben-Ami presented the imitation to Segal on a split screen, only to present the audience with a lip-biting Segal, giggling with artificial embarrassment. "What did mother say?" Oded Ben-Ami asked to know, and Segal did not hide his impatience, and sought to return to the political interpretation surrounding the dramatic election results. Quite rightly, by the way.

Twelve years have passed since that immature initial imitation, which also happens to be Netanyahu's 12 years in power. Amit Segal has become one of the top journalists in Israel, and perhaps the face most identified with Channel 12, with the exception of Yonit Levy. From the character of the cute boy who asks his mother to stay and sleep with Chico Menashe, nothing remains. The character was transferred from Massey Cohen to Roi Bar Natan, who with the help of makeup no less than genius and inconceivable talent managed to simply turn himself into a clone of faculty. The "Pale Tracker" trio would say about it: "There is unanimity, it is a pity he is not, makes you,You see a mirror. "

Already 12 years ago, Amit Segal did not enjoy the imitation of Asi Cohen.

Since then it has only become sharper (Photo: Screenshot, Channel 2)

As Amit Segal became a one-man media empire, his imitation also became sharper.

This is also natural.

It is said that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and this is entirely true even in this case.

Amit Segal in the "Great Land" version is arrogant, decisive, unnecessarily determined and overly smug.

You know, like the real faculty member, only about speeds.

A parody version that takes some of the truth, much of the uncontrollable mimicry and interweaves with satire on the state of the Israeli press.

pan.

Segal's mom is less likely to like this imitation, but it's part of the game.

In the season finale program that aired last Monday, the people of "Eretz" debated two prominent news people from their channel: Rina Matzliach and Amit Segal. Rina was portrayed in her exaggerated version as an extreme symbolist who hates Bibi who was injured after jumping into an empty fountain in Rabin Square. On the other hand, Amit Segal was presented, even exaggeratedly, as a false prophet, after the political oracle declared that there was no chance of a change government led by Naftali Bennett, and even added and claimed on another occasion that Yair Lapid was doomed to sit in opposition forever. Oops.

Self-confidence is measured as you face criticism for your mistakes. In this test, Segal also lost a lot of points in front of his audience, the one who sees him, with a great deal of justice, as the smart and eloquent journalist in Israel. There are many good journalists in Israel, but the right-wing Israelis, who make up the majority of the people, have never had a figure in such a central position as Amit Segal, who speaks from their throats. Even for them, it is better for him to bite his lip and accept the criticism and imitations with humor and sportiness.

"There is unanimity.

Honestly, I did not want to write again about a faculty member.

Everything has been said, but his latest tantrum attack requires reference, mainly because he himself has admitted that it is pathetic to whine about imitation, and it is quite clear that there is something deeper here.

From Spider-Man we learned that with great power comes great responsibility, but apparently during Segal's childhood in the Ofra settlement, he was less influential on comics.

Amit Segal went on the attack with all the power he has.

He went up to Jacob Bardugo's radio show (and maybe it was Yaniv Bitton, since he sounded just like his imitation) and attacked Great Country.

Among other things, he cynically claimed that he was probably the first journalist to be wrong, so he deserved to snatch this criticism.

It is really interesting to investigate whether Segal believes that the criticism of him stems only because he was caught in a one-time mistake. Is this clever journalist so unaware of his salient shortcomings? Mistakes are allowed, and there is nothing funny about mocking a commentator who made a mistake in his assessments. Yair Shreki, one of the most esteemed journalists on Segal's channel, made a big mistake when he reported in the edition on the fall of the change government. Happens. He reported truth to her hour, which turned out in retrospect to be a mistake. And in general, journalists are wrong. Sources lie, it is sometimes difficult to spot a spin being made on your back, but in the case of Shrek it is at least not done maliciously. It's hard to say the same about a faculty member.

The problem with a faculty member was never his professional interpretation, but his pleasure and arrogance, his resolute tenets that somehow always serve his side of the map.

And where exactly does this arrogance come from?

From the man who predicted that Netanyahu was going to crash in the 2019 elections?

Or from the man who announced after the election that Netanyahu's victory in those elections resonates (so resonating that we are dragged into three more elections)?

Maybe this is the man who determined that Israel's next justice minister is Yariv Levin or Bezalel Smutrich?

If you want to go further, you can remember the 2015 election, then Armageddon predicted a real Likud and Netanyahu, and claimed that the party could only get 15-16 seats in the election.

Oh, and there was also "Fadikat Berkovich", after crowning Ofer Berkovich as mayor of Jerusalem, to this day it is not clear on what basis.

Are you offended by this?

The successful Rina was thrown into an empty fountain.

It is important to mention that it is not that a faculty member has no sense of humor, his lottery skills do not fall short of those of great country writers. For example, after the 2015 election, he decided to attack the then political commentator of Channel 10, Raviv Drucker, after the latter made a mistake in his predictions. What, not funny? And in general, since when is betting on the election results a political interpretation? Isn't that the real joke? Are you kidding, or have you already realized that the joke is at your expense?

So in a wonderful country they laughed at him a bit, thank God he gave them material. Just as Adva Dadon gives them material when she chases after crooks and shouts and just as Boaz Bismuth gives them material every time he opens his mouth. After breaking the silence in the IDF waves, Segal continued with seven aggressive tweets on his popular Twitter page. It was a tantrum attack of a small child whose parents refuse to buy him ice cream and lay on the floor of the mall with kicks and screams. Mentioned his childish imitation from 2009.

Two major theses stood in Segal's attack on Molly Segev: the first is that the program is racist against Mizrahis, and the second is that for seven years he claims that the program leaders have been texting senior Keshet officials against expressing his right-wing views in the edition.

Almost as usual, a faculty member is so captivated within his position that even if he says something right, it is wrapped up in so much unbridled and unassuming childishness that it is hard to discern his truth.

The thing is that he is right, in the long history of "Great Land" there have been problems in the representation of Oriental figures.

Like all the local culture, which was built on the foundations of Borax films, Saleh Shabtai and Menashe Yemeni at Hassamba, Eretz also made an answer. By chance the day after he was insulted on the same show.No one can stop him and explain to him that he, almost Ashkenazi like his favorite political leaders, uses Mizrahis to protect his damaged ego? And seriously, he can not understand for himself how stupid it is?

Wait, was it Yaniv Bitton or Yaakov Bardugo?

In the current virtual madness, Segal linked the Eastern interest to the political division, and shot himself in the foot. The criticism of Segal is not related to his right-wingness, and certainly not to some wayward Oriental garden that we did not know - but to the content itself that he produces. If a faculty member insists on turning the news studio into his own private playground, insulting and snorting at anyone who thinks differently from him, stinging all his panel members and mocking colleagues on a regular basis, he would be fair enough to accept that criticism when it comes to the channel's satire program. And made him a star. Sorry, I laughed at myself for a moment.

Bottom line, Segal was simply offended and proved in his response how accurate the criticism of him was.

Just as he did not care to wish for a pile of corpses in the riots in Lod, so he did not care to awaken the ethnic demon from his lair and exploit him to attack his "enemy."

Lucky that "Eretz" went on vacation.

The next time they did an imitation of him, he could still ignite a third world war.

True, there is no expectation from a faculty member to change, just as there is no expectation from News 12 executives to put in place the golden egg that yields ratings in quantities - but one might expect such a successful journalist to be the great man he believes he is, and stop being offended by any criticism instead of proving it every time re?

In small

"To their amazement, we are not retarded," Amit Segal wrote in one of his rants on Twitter about a wonderful country.

So if he has already gone into redressing injustices within the worlds of political correctness, he should not use the word "retarded" as a curse.

This is a constructive criticism that can be agreed upon, I hope.
