MembersA tale of three ‘anybody but Bibi’ stooges

Eyal Megged, Ronen Tzur and Dan Shilon can’t explain the source of their hatred for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, so they attack interviewer Sharon Gal and i24News.

(JNS) One the issues that puzzles those people abroad who consider Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu a great leader is what appears to be the widespread, deep-seated hatred for him at home. It’s a relevant question, given the fact that he’s the longest-serving premier in the history of the Jewish state—which means that he’s actually popular among voters.

TV host Sharon Gal, who presents an eponymous daily show at 7 p.m. on i24News, set out last week to get to the bottom of the conundrum. Or, rather, to illustrate that the loathing stems more from the gut than the head.

Over the course of two days, Gal conducted three separate interviews with well-known figures: Eyal Megged (on July 27), Ronen Tzur (also on July 27) and Dan Shilon (on July 28). Ironically, the conduct of each during the Zoom appearances spoke volumes about the nature of “Bibi Derangement Syndrome.”
