Ben Caspit and Vinon Magal opened their program on 103FM this morning (Monday) with a conversation about the storm of the discrimination law.
Magal said: “I also tweeted yesterday against these departures of Strock and Rothman. It’s an attitude I don’t like, it’s such libertarianism, ‘let everyone do what they want and the state doesn’t interfere’ – but, it has to be said that once again you managed to take things out of context and once again make a salad, which is beautiful.
“Because Rothman, when he spoke at Kalman’s and Lieberman’s… I said to him, ‘What, will it be possible to make shops that do not allow Jews to enter?’ So he said ‘yes’. At their place they of course asked him about ‘no entry for gays’, so he said, ‘yes’. So what did the media do? Straight away she took it that there would be no entry for gays.
“In the same sentence he tells them, ‘I will be the first to sack this store.’ But it doesn’t matter anymore, as soon as you said gay, the horses ran away from the stable. It’s like a Hanukkah miracle. At that second, did you say ‘no gays allowed’? It’s already out of control. Stroke too, let me read you what the law is and tell me if it seems to you – ‘The doctor may not provide medical treatment at the request of the patient, if the request is contrary to his professional position, his conscience or his faith. In these circumstances, the doctor will refer the patient if possible to another suitable doctor. What is the problem?”
Caspit replied: “If at the end of this whole event it turns out that we took things out of context, you are probably a little offside, tip-to-tip.” You don’t have to ‘suicide’ on every subject. To come in to defend Noam in the ridiculous contexts that were here yesterday… even Netanyahu doesn’t do it. Even he published twice yesterday in an unusual way, first a written denial and then a photographed denial.
“Regarding Orit Strock, I agree with you that she really meant the type of treatment, the problem is that it is the father and mother of the slippery slope, it is the father and mother of the normalization. ‘Redirect him if possible’, and if not possible? Now, what are we dealing with? We are dealing with the core of the coalition negotiations. We are dealing with the coalition that was elected on the issue of governance and instead, is going to panic and turn us into a branch of Iran.”
