Question
What do you think about the firing of Channel 20 reporter Kobi Finkler, who after a rocket fell from Lebanon in an Arab stadium said that, “to our great regret, it didn’t result in masses of people being killed there”?
Answer
I hadn’t heard about it. An unfortunate expression, but I don’t think it’s grounds for dismissal.
Discussion on Answer
Because in his view they probably aren’t innocent. They chose Hamas and support it.
These are Israeli Arabs, who are not Hamas voters.
I see. If these are Israeli Arabs, that’s a different discussion. Still, even among Israelis there certainly can be Hamas supporters, but as stated, that’s a different discussion.
Saying it’s a shame innocent people weren’t killed isn’t grounds for dismissal? Why not?
