Did you have time for the news today, but not quite understand everything to the end? Ariel Sharfer sums up the daily news item that interests Serugim, with a personal opinion and a smile. This is today’s Red Dot:

"Here’s a lesson in Hebrew and politics: the hesder yeshivot are threatening not to send students to the Armored Corps. Why? Because of women. The coming elections are stirring up a gender dispute over reserving spots on the lists. Why? Because of women. So what is the connection between the Armored Corps and reserving places on election lists? Both are being fought over, and not for the right reasons! The simple explanation: the army is trying to force women into the Armored Corps to please women and annoy religious and Haredi Jews, and politicians reserve places for women to silence critics who claim the Knesset is a house of men. So why not do, once and for all, the simple thing and let the public have its say? Want to enlist in the Armored Corps? Enlist! Want more women in the Knesset? Vote for them! Adopt for yourself a life rule from the past that still works today: 'And the wise person at that time shall be silent!' Goodbye!"

The video includes satirical content spoken humorously, with no intention to offend.
