Netanyahu on Bardugo: "There was a terrorist attack here, let's take away their listeners!""

February 14, 2022   

Yehuda Schlesinger, a reporter for 'Israel Hayom', published a recording this evening (Monday) from the closed meeting of the Likud faction, where a loud discussion was held today (Monday) about the ouster of commentator Yaakov Bardugo from Galei Tzahal. Dramatic statistic: You could be losing hundreds of thousands of NIS that belong to you For smokers only: This is how you can save over 8,500 shekels a year The leader of the National Camp, MK Benjamin Netanyahu, defined the event as a "terrorist attack," and said that "the biggest response is to remove listeners from them." Netanyahu said during the meeting: "There is a problem in the State of Israel, it is difficult to open a broadcasting medium in order to have a balance. In government tools that are appointed by the public, this balance must exist. We need to come out against this thing. There is no such thing, you are doing a purge." The opposition chairman also said: "Don't tell me that there are journalists there. What journalists, Reno Tzror... They have no political opinion, Razi Barkai. They have 99% political opinion - left. The last right-winger left there with the most listeners, he is removed. Don't let them confuse your mind. Take the hypocrisy, vomit it up and denounce it." Netanyahu continued to attack the military station, saying: "The biggest response is not whether to be interviewed or not to be interviewed on the GLATC, we don't need that, it is to remove listeners. There was an attack here. I call on listeners to listen to Channel 14, Galei Israel, Bardugo, Ayla Hasson. Let's take away their listeners. Call for a boycott of the station. Have you ever heard of a consumer boycott? Do you know how powerful this thing is? So speak up! Tell them to leave this station. The power in public life is the power of the public." Netanyahu called on members of his faction to mention in interviews the number of deaths in the latest wave of Corona: "Yesterday we crossed 3,000 deaths, it's a scandal, the media is erasing it. When you have the opportunity, express it, it's important." Netanyahu later described a meeting he had with an elderly woman, who he claimed told him that opposition Knesset members were not speaking out enough against the government. He described her words and knocked on the table: "Where are your Knesset members? Why aren't they speaking out, why isn't each of them speaking out?".
