Right-Wing Activist Harasses Actor Muni Mashonov Over 'The Jews Are Coming' Show

Right-wing activist Eliran Siman Tov recorded and posted a video of himself confronting Israeli actor and comedian Muni Mashonov on the street, criticizing Mashonov's involvement in the television program "The Jews Are Coming." In the video, Siman Tov calls Mashonov a "wicked old man" and questions why Mashonov and others in the entertainment industry live long lives, referencing the "Ahuza Rishonim" retirement home and journalist Rivka Michaeli. Mashonov asks Siman Tov to stop the conversation, saying, "I ask you, I don't know you, let me go," and warns him that he does not understand what he is doing. Despite this, Siman Tov persists, accusing Mashonov and his peers of refusing to die and causing division among the Israeli people with the show. He states, "Do you understand what you are doing? The division you are causing with 'The Jews Are Coming' hurts many people, not just me." The incident highlights tensions around the controversial program and its reception among some right-wing circles in Israel.
