Impersonator and actor Yehuda Shukron called Shmulik Silman, husband of coalition chairwoman Idit Silman, live on air today (Tuesday), during Menachem Toker's show on Kol Hai, and pretended to be Aryeh Deri.

During the prank, while Silman is convinced that he is talking to the Shas chairman, he said that his wife Idit will probably oppose the 'Saar Law', his mother lights candles for Bibi's success, she loves Haredi, and there is apparently a video of the attack in Modi'in. "A lot of people will eat the hat, there is a police investigation.".
Menachem Toker, the show's host, who was thrilled by the prank, shared it on his personal Twitter account. But instead of garnering "likes," he was attacked by netizens, including Likud supporters who loathe Yamina.
Josh Breiner, a journalist for Haaretz, wrote: "Substandard, not journalism and certainly not entertainment. Hope a complaint is filed against you for impersonation.".
Former Yesha Council spokesman Elnatan Zakaria responded: "What is this stupid genre?""
Another user tweeted: "Reminds me that when we were kids in middle school, a friend called the ER and told them he was a child in distress. That's the level, more or less. Not something to be proud of.".
And another surfer expressed his opinion: "A. You are nothing, and I wish he would file a police report against you for impersonation. There is no entertainment or satire here, just impersonation and deception. B. He got away with it very well. C. This act of fraud is very "Jewish", right?""
Surfer Dan wrote: "The way the ultra-Orthodox media outlets treated the Silman family is one of the most disgusting things that has ever happened here.".
And another tweeted in response: "Where's the joke? There's nothing funny here. Impersonation, fraud, deception are words that describe it much better than 'hoax'.".
And there was someone who responded: "It's sad that a lousy radio broadcaster is trying to improve ratings (say) by abusing the family of a Knesset member, who is already in a difficult situation. You could be likened to a single cell on the back of fleas on the back of rats in the sewer, but that would be an insult to the rats.".
And Inbal Ratz Gallimor tweeted: "Why is this good? Shame on you.".
Surfer: "'Hoax' of the lowest kind. It's called impersonation and fraud.".
Another surfer wrote: "I'm not a fan of Silman in general and Yamina in particular, but this is an extremely ugly act. A person speaks openly and freely what's on his mind, knowing that Aryeh Deri is on the line with me. And in the end, the whole world hears it. Shame and disgust.".
And there was also: "This is not called a hoax, but fraud and impersonation. And it really doesn't matter who it's done to, but certainly to a person who is not a public figure. To vomit on you.".
Elia Blum attacked: "To be honest, I heard and I really didn't like it. Shmulik Silman is a man who is not guilty. And I am a B.I.B.I. who wholeheartedly despises Idit Silman, as far as I'm concerned, a fraud and a swindler. Take it down.".
And 'a tiny pilot without a plane' snapped: "You scoundrel, you are showing yourself as the scum of the 'media.' I wish you a police report for fraud and impersonation.".
