A personal opinion column in which the writer, declaring his deep disgust for Benjamin Netanyahu, comes out against the wave of public anger on social media following the hosting of the Netanyahus at singer Eden Ben Zaken's performance at the Menora Mivtachim Hall in Tel Aviv. The writer analyzes three representative reactions from the network, including threats of lawsuits and calls for a boycott, and argues that most of the commenters were not present at the performance and are not Ben Zaken's target audience, known for her open support for Netanyahu. He compares the reaction to what would have been received if a left-wing artist had hosted a left-wing politician, and accuses the protesters of hypocrisy and sanctimony. The writer defends an artist's right to express a political stance, and criticizes artists like Shlomo Artzi who avoid taking a clear stand. He concludes that the affair teaches about frayed nerves in the public and about stupidity and sanctimony in both political camps.
