Yinon Magal/Walla System! Reuven Castro
The presenter of "The Patriots" on Channel 14, Yinon Magal, said yesterday on the broadcast that it bothered him that those attending the Nova party danced next to a statue of Buddha - and as expected, caused a great storm on social media.
"It's been long enough for me to be able to say what has been sitting on my heart for a long time – it bothered me very, very much that people were dancing there with a statue of Buddha," he said on Channel 14. The segment was posted on social media and was strongly criticized. News 12 journalist Zion Nanos tweeted: "Every time we thought we had reached the bottom of the barrel, Moti Kirshenbaum used to say, we heard a knock from below. And usually the one who set the new low was Yinon Sickle. What a man's garbage."
The Tikva Twitter page tweeted: "On one of the most difficult evenings in recent times, Yinon Magal breaks his own records. We have nothing clever to comment on this. Watch and hurt." Yedioth Ahronoth TV critic Einav Schiff added: "Yinon Magal: It bothered me very, very much that people were dancing in a nova with a statue of Buddha. Why not with a statue of Bibi?" Another tweeter wrote: "Yinon Magal makes a living from hatred and incitement. Every time you treat him like you've donated money to him."
Screenwriter Adar Mirom wrote: "The Yinon Magal paradox: when you applaud him, he is sure that he is a genius and flies on himself. When he is booed and criticized, he is sure that he is a genius, because he has shown leftists what it is, the contempt only proved the justice of his words, and flies on himself. In Yinon's megalomaniac brain, he is always the winner. The only solution - complete disregard. But it's so hard."

In light of the storm, Yinon Magal clarified on Twitter: "I didn't understand why the left-wing feed was so moved by saying that it bothered me that people in Nova were dancing with a statue of Buddha. Yes. I am Jewish. Dos. Faithful. Religiosity. And a statue of Buddha symbolizes idolatry for me. And it bothers me. Simple. May I?"
The religious reporter Efrat Finkel replied: "You are no more doss than all the doos who sweated uncomfortably. We don't deal with the dead, we don't talk about them and we don't criticize them, certainly not when they were physically murdered for martyrdom. It doesn't respect you."
Another wrote: "Good morning Yinon. If it bothers you so much that citizens danced with a Buddha symbol, why doesn't it bother you that your prime minister desecrates Shabbat in public and eats at a non-kosher restaurant? All for the hypocrisy and incitement Yinon?? Shame on you spineless."
