Media personality Yotam Zimri fiercely criticized Dani Kushmaro, host of Channel 12's 'Ulpan Shishi,' for questioning the high support for coalition parties in Ofakim following the October 7th massacre. Kushmaro expressed surprise that 65% of Ofakim residents voted for the government three years after the attack, which killed 33 people in the city's 'Mishor HaGafen' neighborhood. Zimri, a panelist on Channel 14's 'HaPatriotim,' retorted, questioning how residents dared to vote differently from what he claimed was being 'ground into their heads' for years. He also wondered if a similar report would be made about residents of the Gaza Envelope who continue to vote for parties advocating for peace.
Yinon Magal, host of 'HaPatriotim,' also attacked Kushmaro's framing, accusing him of selective reporting. Magal pointed to the voting patterns in Gaza Envelope kibbutzim, where he claimed residents continued to vote for 'Democrats' who want a government with those unable to condemn Hamas. He questioned if 'Ulpan Shishi' expressed similar shock at these results.
Zimri's strong remarks come shortly after he was involved in a minor car accident, sustaining bruised ribs. He had been absent from social media for a day, leading to concerned messages from followers, prompting him to post an update assuring them he was recovering and feeling better. Zimri is known for regularly sharing his opinions on current events and personal details with his followers.
