Presenters Erel Segal and Chen Lieberman clashed this morning (Wednesday) at the beginning of their program on 103FM, after Lieberman claimed that the woman who attacked News 13 journalist Baruch Kara was an “incited woman.” Baruch read. “Lieberman interrupted him and replied:” Is this the framing? Maybe we should say ‘the woman who is incited by elected officials because there are people who have pumped it for her, even in this program’? “.
Segal: “I condemn the violence. This is a 200-year-old woman half a meter tall. I like Baruchi Kara, but Baruchi himself when they attacked Yossi Eli gave excuses for the attack. I condemn the old woman and the whole gang of old women who hang out there. “
Lieberman: “I have seen condemnation here and there in previous cases of attacking journalists.”
Segal: “I did not hear the same speakers as Handel, the Commissioner and the Minister of Internal Security when they attacked Shimon Riklin in Tel Aviv. Chen, you know the truth, it does not matter to anyone when they attacked Avraham Bloch at the Nablus Gate. I do not author any attack. Of a journalist for incitement in the media. “
Journalist Baruch Kara responded to his attack: “This time it’s a stick, next time a stab with a knife”
Lieberman: “Do you really not see the connection between things?”.
Segal: “What you are doing now is one of the terrible things that can be done in the media, it is mouth-clogging. When Ya’alon, Avidar and others came to demonstrations in Balfour and talked about Netanyahu in very harsh terms, I did not claim that their behavior encouraged violence. What is the difference between them and Galit Distel? Did she say, “Beat my blessing?”
Lieberman: “You incite, you spread lies.”
Segal: “Do you call me an instigator?”.
Lieberman: “Yes.”
Segal: “So why are you broadcasting with me?”
Lieberman: “Because I want to have a dialogue with you.”
Segal: “You are blocking your mouth. You tell me that if I have criticism of the police and the prosecutor’s office, I am actually inciting. “
Lieberman: “You present it as an opinion. You are a journalist and you have a responsibility. If you think the trial is tailored then you will prove it.”
Segal: “I make a sound. When you tell me I’m inciting when I criticize the justice system then you’ll shut me up. The word incitement is equivalent to a police investigation, and you, the great leftist, say ‘your freedom of expression is restricted’ “.
Lieberman: “From the beginning of the trial, you have been promoting a narrative that the prosecution line is collapsing. That is not true.”
Segal: “I bring facts. There is no open permit for the opening of investigations, I am qualified, reasoned and matter-of-fact. “I did not change the indictment three times.”
Lieberman: “And this proves that the trial is tailor-made?”
Segal: “I think the bags are sewn. Do you understand what freedom of expression is? “

Lieberman later criticized Segal when she said, “When you as a journalist just think the case is sewn, do you not understand the problem?” Think the bag is sewn. prove it! Do not just say things. “
The lieutenant colonel replied: “If I were to say something that is false there is an ability to file a defamation lawsuit against me, but you are doing something more serious. You say that in fact I think the files are sewn, thanks to freedom of expression, I am inciting. I speak calmly because I am completely convinced of the rightness of my way. “Towards the end of their conversation, Segal asked Lieberman to apologize for her statement as” inciting “, to which she replied:” I think decisiveness without facts – there is a problem here. “
