Yanon discovers a personal meeting with Roni Cuban/here 11
In terms of communication, Yanon Magal is someone you can always count on to deliver the goods.
This is the case from the very first minute of his personal meeting with Ronnie Cuban (thank you in advance: one of my favorite programs on "Kan 11"), when he stood, like an interviewee in the program, in front of a wall full of press clippings about him - and chose precisely what he defines as a "fall", the episode in which It was alleged against him that he sexually harassed women who worked with him and under him.
On the one hand, there is courage here, because it was possible to open with something softer.
On the other hand, Magal understands the media - he chooses to deal with the most sensitive and explosive matter in his own words, when he immediately connects it to a sentence that explains a lot: "The left-wing media that hates me" and so that there is no room for doubt, he immediately adds: "Like Benjamin Netanyahu."
In Megel's eyes, everything is a rating, to say: they like me - that means I'm right.
When Coven seems to miss the logic, he leaves no room for doubt: "I am loved, that proves something."
According to him, he has an "uncle topaz" side, that is, something happens to him when the camera is turned on, he seems to confess to hubris, but even while confessing, he immediately sins again: "I have some quality that I allow myself, because I succeed, because You have the grace to always be forgiven, because you look good..." - that is, not only self-aware but also self-confident.
The sense of persecution is the fuel that drives him.
As long as it seems to him that he is being looked for, he will make sure that they are also found/screenshot, here 11
Suddenly he doesn't remember
Cuban confronts him with his harsh statements, not only those for which he was accused of sexual harassment ("I wasn't accused, it was charged against me" he clarifies), but for example about the Nuba victims (who were accused by him of dancing with a Buddha statue).
Magel's answer is stunning in its honesty, in the end it turns out that he truly believes that the October 7 attack was divine punishment.
"I attack only the strong" he says and names: "Yediot Ahronoth, Keshet 12 and Amnon Abramovich", but Cuban immediately confronts him with his disparaging words about the campaign of the families of the kidnapped.
Magel answers half-heartedly.
He likes the position of one who fights windmills.
In the end, he claims that what motivated him was fear of another prisoner deal in the spirit of Gilad Shalit, therefore he attacks the abductees campaign.
Cuban confronts him with the facts, in the end it was his idol who freed more than a thousand terrorists in exchange for one kidnapped soldier.
Magel twists and turns, Cuban does not give up and Magel hurries to add a grotesque dimension to the "confession": "At the end of Binyamin Ben Benzion and Tsilah, he decided this thing" and immediately mocks, as if to himself: "I will have a high voice when I have to criticize Netanyahu."
This does not prevent him from asserting: "I find it ridiculous that they call me Shofar", just after he said that he talks to Netanyahu on average once a month.
You don't have to be from the field of psychology to understand the parallel drawn by Magal between Netanyahu's political journey and his media journey.
No need, mainly because he does it himself and compares "the injustice done to me to the injustice done to Netanyahu."
Trying to grasp one corner of a sickle is like trying to firmly grasp an avocado seed: he is arrogant, arrogant, funny, insulting, witty, hurtful, hurtful, mixes the personal with the national, is addicted to his own messages - and immediately turns them into a springboard on the way to an even more extreme message.
What is the secret of his energy?
It seems that as long as he preserves the personal injury from the leftist, feminist, "enlightened" media - with or without quotation marks, he has enough fuel.
His relationship with the media is complex.
For example, he does not understand why it is claimed against him that he was a liar - in contrast to journalists who allegedly speak for "the left".
Cuban explains to him as one explains to a child with difficulty understanding the difference between fighting for an ideology and blindly supporting a person and a party.
As a result of the discussion, he is asked to provide an example of his criticisms of Netanyahu - and begins, for the first time, to get confused, cough and stammer.
Not for long, because he also turns this into a gimmick, when he calls "a phone friend".
Alas, this too is hard to remember, but after a minute it conjures up a vague criticism that Netanyahu refused to give Gantz the prime ministership, despite the agreement between them.
Until I, the viewer, am convinced: Yanon Magal really does not understand why he is called Shofar.
If you like,
in the words of his colleague Avishai Ben Haim, Magal is the shofar who is not aware of his shofar.

Magel understands communication well.

The stuff leftists' nightmares are made of
A sickle is the stuff leftists' nightmares are made of.
He is gifted with intelligence, acting talent, a rare understanding of communication, along with a touch of messianism, religious faith, and a self-awareness so high that she is already doing a U-turn and flirting with unconsciousness.
Magel boils the blood, but it is difficult to categorize him as an enemy - he is a member of a moral family (all the brothers in the Matkal Patrol, just like another family, even more familiar) he is able to honestly admit that it was difficult for him to command soldiers and if you listen to him with a heavy majority, it seems that there His crisis began with "the beauty of the movie and the degree". After the army he flew to India, sat in Goa, banged his head: "I found myself standing in a square and directing traffic with a broom," he says.
After that, he says, he found God. And here he is again The problem with trying to characterize Magal: he is not one-dimensional, he is complex, he is interesting - and yet, it is difficult to really love him, regardless of his opinions, except because he is so strong that in the background you open a pair of curious eyes towards him, you will catch a finger in the eye.

Eid al-Adha
When confronted with the sexual harassment case, he makes sure to put himself in the shoes of the victim.
The problem is not in his behavior (although he admits that he allowed himself too much, after he had recovered his heart) but in the public that things received and how the media chose to present them.
Then suddenly the token falls: Magal is not Netanyahu's mouthpiece but his extension, he is the thing itself, he is the center, the role of all the others does not exist but is derived by virtue of his centrality.
This is perhaps the reason that even after he criticizes his conduct with women at a certain time in his life, he is still unable to say that he regrets: "I paid a price, so what do I have to regret?".
In the end, it is difficult to come to sickle with claims about his honesty in the interview.
Sometimes it's scary: he declares himself to be messianic, does not disapprove of the war of Gogo and Magog, a war that will destroy almost everything, only the righteous will remain.
What makes him righteous?
"Keeps Shabbat, puts on tefillin, for Judaism, for the people of Israel."
Does he really believe this or is he playing a game?
"You're not serious," Kovan also tells him, and Magal admits: "No."
And this is perhaps the main problem with Magal: when it's convenient for him not to take himself seriously, he treats everything as a push, when it's convenient he forgets (not only criticism of Netanyahu, but also for example in response to the question of when his colleague, Amit Segal, had to censor himself).
The problem is that for those who are unable to see it as "the sin of Messiah", there is nothing funny about the disastrous Israeli reality that is brought upon us every day, the one in which neither Magel is the victim of the media nor Netanyahu is the victim of the "left" (a concept that exists only in the imagination of right-wing people who need an enemy), but we, the majority of Israeli citizens, become victims of the reality created by Netanyahu and such a benevolent Shemgal to Labrer.
