'Happy Holidays': Right-wing Israeli Journalists Celebrate Rafah Attack, Likening It to Lag Ba'Omer Bonfire"

Rachel Fink

'The central bonfire this year in Rafah,' Israeli journalist Yinon Magal said of an Israeli strike in Rafah in southern Gaza that killed at least 35, according to Palestinian health workers

 

Two right-wing journalists reacted to the death of scores of Palestinians killed in Gaza on Sunday night by making a joke likening footage of the fires caused by the Israeli airstrike that killed them to the traditional bonfires lit on the Jewish holiday of Lag Ba'Omer, which also took place Sunday night.

As of Monday morning, Palestinian health workers said that at least 35 people were dead, with "numerous" others trapped in flaming debris as a result of Israeli airstrikes on Rafah. Hamas' Health Ministry said women and children made up most of the dead and dozens of wounded.

 

Journalist Yinon Magal – who hosts the popular panel show The Patriots on Israel's pro-government news outlet Channel 14 – and news columnist and frequent Channel 12 panelist, Naveh Dromi, tweeted two versions of the same reaction to the unfolding tragedy in Rafah to their social media accounts. Magal posted a video of fires blazing in Rafah as emergency personnel and civilians worked to rescue the injured under the caption, "The central bonfire this year in Rafah."

Dromi retweeted another user's post which also showed a fire in Rafah, adding her own "Happy Holidays." Both have since deleted their tweets, but not before they were shared widely across the platform, with some users praising the sentiment.

 Still, condemnation of the pair was swift and broad across social media, with many responding both in Hebrew and in English with harsh criticism of the crude joke. Ami Dror, one of the leaders of Israel's anti-government protest movement posted a screenshot of Magal's tweet with the response, "Netanyahu and his messianic, racist and corrupt government must be immediately impeached! They are committing war crimes, and such reference from their inner circle only emphasizes that intention."

Yinon Magal, the TV host of the most popular TV show on "Netanyahu's TV" (controlled by Russian oligarch, that used to work with Putin and Prigozhin) referred to the unfolding tragedy in Rafah as the "central bonfire of Lag Baomer." (Jewish holiday). Netanyahu and his messianic, racist and corrupted government must be immediately impeached! They are committing war crimes and such reference from their inner circle only emphasizes their intention. #BringThemHome #GazaWar #warcrime #netayahu

Professor Idan Landau, who managed to capture Dromi's tweet before she deleted it, lambasted both her and Avichai Shorshan, who posted the original photo. "Avichai Shorshan is a Kfar Adumim security officer who routinely abuses the residents of Khan al-Ahmar, with a special fondness for abusing children," Landau stated. "Naveh Dromi is a woman who delights in the sight of women and children engulfed in flames. (I forgot the name. What are these people called again?)."

"As is the way of these far-right studio stars – be warned and shrug it off," Landau added, "she deleted the tweet."

This was Magal's second controversial tweet in less than a week. On Friday night, he shared a video of a masked man identifying himself as an Israel Defense Forces reservist threatening mass insubordination if control of the Gaza Strip is handed to Hamas or the Palestinian Authority.

Later in the video, the man threatened that "100,000" reservists, according to his estimation, will refuse to surrender to the orders of IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi or Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Magal shared the video, which resulted in the masked man's dismissal from the military, under the caption "This is how we think and feel in Gaza."
