I Accuse
Sima Kadmon publishes a public indictment ahead of the elections: she accuses Yinon Magal of reading the names of kidnapped and murdered families on 103FM and calling them "abhorrent" and "despicable", his employers who did not stop him, and Netanyahu for the October 7 failure, abandoning the home front, and unchanged priorities.
In a personal column in Yedioth Ahronoth, Sima Kadmon presents a public "indictment" ahead of the elections. She begins by describing the memorial ceremony for the October 7 massacre held at Yarkon Park, where about fifty thousand people sat on the grass — the third time the families themselves produced the ceremony with donated funds. According to her, three years later there is no state commission of inquiry, no prime minister who took responsibility, "and there is no shame either." The main accusation is directed at Yinon Magal, who, according to Kadmon, on the eve of October 7 read over the 103FM microphone a series of names — Tsengaoker, Bibas, Eshel, Marciano, Kedem, Svirsky, Margalit, Adina Moshe and others — and called them "abhorrent" and "despicable," and determined that they should ask Netanyahu for forgiveness. Kadmon accuses him "of a method, not a slip," and also his employers at the station who did not stop him. She accuses Netanyahu of the October 7 failure, abandoning the home front — which according to the state comptroller, for more than 17 years no responsible body for the home front in emergencies was established — and of unchanged priorities: the war cost about 350 billion shekels, coalition funds continued to flow, and an equal conscription law was not passed. Finally, she accuses herself of nearly 30 years of columns that did not penetrate the wall of charisma and propaganda.
