Assayag to hostage father: "Made career from kidnapping"

Right-wing activist Meni Assayag launched a sharp attack on Chen Avigdori, whose wife and daughter were kidnapped on October 7 and later released.

The confrontation began after Assayag addressed Prime Minister Netanyahu, saying: "Mr. Prime Minister, all of us here on the right are spilling blood on social media in the battle against the lies and liars, who spread falsehoods and tales to accuse you of what they did (without a doubt), meaning treason."

"Consider us, Prime Minister, we are not as strong as you, our nerves are fraying, our patience is running out and we are starting to lose strength, and even our reach on social media is starting to disappear and pass entirely to Uri Misgav and the rest of the filth," Assayag wrote.

He called on Netanyahu to "please publish immediately the protocols you transferred to the State Comptroller (which pressured the High Court, which immediately instructed the Comptroller to remove his hands from the matter), and thus prove to everyone what most of us have known for a long time: the great massacre in Israel's history was made possible and took place following an unprecedented conspiracy and treason."

"These protocols will certainly confirm the existence of threats to dismantle the army, the air force, intelligence and the Shin Bet that were published and echoed day after day, including by the wife of a senior Shin Bet official. One of those who accuse you of treason... You must do this, Mr. Prime Minister. For our sake, for the sake of the State of Israel, for the sake of truth and justice and against the treasonous filth of Kaplan," Assayag wrote.

Avigdori responded: "I join the call of Meni Assayag, weary of soul, but I know it won't happen: because when the archives are opened and the protocols are published, even Meni and the rest of the slaves will understand: He was warned. How many times. He ignored. Every time."

"He did nothing, not before they woke him up and not after. He abandoned before, he abandoned after as well. That's what the elections are about. The correction will come," Avigdori wrote.

Assayag responded sharply: "Meet the mediocre-minus TV editor, who made a career from the kidnapping of his wife and daughter, who were freed first only thanks to IDF fighters, the government of Israel and Hashem.

This is the same reckless leftist who was among the first to cause enormous damage to Israel's image and to the legitimacy of the war, and also made sure to raise the level of antisemitism in the world when he screamed like a madman in the Knesset: 'Haven't you killed enough Arabs?'

"As far as he's concerned, even when his wife and daughter were in Hamas captivity, the State of Israel and IDF fighters are on the side of evil. He was always a disturbed radical leftist who didn't know how to distinguish between good and evil. A walking disaster on two legs. With thanks: Meni, weary of soul, who sits in your throat like a bone. P.S. No Kaplan, no massacre."
