Right-wing media figure Yinon Magal, host of "The Patriots" - Channel 14's flagship program, which burst onto the scene mainly over the past year when it recorded impressive ratings figures - often uses the Yiddish phrase: "Oistigert a meisha.".
Or in Hebrew translation: "Hear a story.".
So, let's hear a story.

It happened on the evening of Shabbat and the holiday, in Jerusalem. Dozens of Haredi women sat down to watch a screening of a Haredi film intended for women, a screening that those women had been anticipating for a long time.
Suddenly, a number of left-wing provocateurs burst into the hall, who, in the name of the 'holy war' against 'the exclusion of women, came to "help" those women and prevent the segregation.
Of course, the women were very "happy" that those brave and kind-hearted leftists came to help them. Unfortunately, as a result, the screening was canceled and the event was disbanded.
Let's leave aside for a moment this specific event, which I have quite a bit to write about. For example, how the left has been shouting for years about 'exclusion of women' and 'let Haredi women do what they want.'.
And these ultra-Orthodox women, it's no coincidence, want to watch the screening at the P-R-D-E!
But the violent leftists are not interested in this. They are looking for provocation, media attention, and of course - to disrupt everything that is dear and holy to the Jewish people and the Torah of Israel.

Countless red lines have been crossed in the past year.
If, for example, a person had come to me five years ago and said to me: "Yanki, do you know? In five years, Yom Kippur prayers will be held in Dizengoff Square in Tel Aviv, and left-wing people will disrupt and disperse the prayer, because they don't want there to be segregation" - I would have burst out laughing in his face.
Because five years ago we never dreamed, never even crossed our minds, of such a hallucinatory situation, in which Jews, members of our people, would come and disrupt prayer on the holiest day of the year.
But, it is clear to any reasonable person that it is not them. We are not talking now about that handful, an incited minority, who are causing provocations across the country. That is not the story here.
The people behind all the delusional trolling that is slowly spreading here are the people up there. Exactly them. Lapid and Gantz.
These, along with those who call themselves 'protest leaders,' 'leaders of the nation,' and a host of other honorable and impressive expressions and titles, are dragging the people of Israel into the abyss. They are taking this glorious nation and trying with all their might to destroy it.
While they sit on the fortieth floor of the Azrieli Towers, in a comfortable leather armchair with the air conditioner on sixteen, sitting cross-legged and sending orders to thousands of people to take to the streets, they are destroying with their own hands everything we have built.
They enjoy the fame, the publicity, the respect, and the great power that is in their hands. But the problem is, they exploit that very powerful power in their hands, and misuse it.

There's not much we can do about it. Our job is simply not to get dragged into the violent provocations, not to give them too much attention, and simply to ignore them and move on.
When those incited leftists see that they are just another marginal appendage in our lives, they will realize that their time is up. They have nothing to do here, they can move on.
When they realize that no one cares about the delusional provocations they are causing, and in the worst case, shake their heads in pity and say: "Have mercy, poor things" - those provocateurs will return home and look for other, slightly more useful, employment.
They don't give in to provocation. They just ignore it.
