(JNS) The best sense of the mood in Israel right now can be gleaned from two sentences written by pundit Amit Segal—not, however, in one of his brilliant columns, daily newsletter or Channel 12 analyses.
No, these are lines that Segal ordered to be printed on a T-shirt, the front of which reads in Hebrew, “I don’t know when there’s going to be an attack on Iran.” For emphasis, the text on the back adds, “No point in asking me.”
The selfie that he posted on social media made followers giggle. It also aroused envy among fellow journalists who hadn’t thought of it first.
But anyone who heard Dan Senor’s “Call Me Back” podcast on Feb. 22 knew that the gag was in the works. In a preview of a segment for paid subscribers following the broadcast, Segal spilled the beans about it, explaining that it would be “the only way to skip the hundreds of people approaching to ask me [about it].”
