The Puppet Department

Yinon Magal called Gadi Eisenkot a “monkey” controlled by Ashkenazi elites. Eisenkot replied that Magal’s real problem was the man controlling Magal.

On Channel 14’s Oct. 17 broadcast, Magal repeatedly used the insult while invoking the Yashar leader’s Moroccan heritage.

He later said he meant a front man, borrowing slang from the criminal underworld. Apparently, explaining the ethnic composition of the alleged operation required the extra airtime.

The next morning, Netanyahu condemned the remark, then demanded that Eisenkot condemn people who had called Likud voters “chimpanzees” and “baboons.” His condemnation arrived with an invoice for reciprocal outrage.

Eisenkot’s answer was that “the problem isn’t Yinon Magal, but the person who stands behind Yinon Magal,” pointing toward Netanyahu.

Magal reduces a former military chief to an ethnic front man. Eisenkot redirects responsibility from the broadcaster to the prime minister. Netanyahu turns the insult into a dispute over whose voters suffer more contempt.

Everyone can identify somebody else’s handler. Personal responsibility remains the vacancy nobody wants to fill.
