Israel’s Legacy Media?

Mike and Gadi discuss the retirement of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar and what it says about the Israeli media

May 2, 2025

The rogue Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar has now announced he will retire on June 16, a date of his own choosing. Ignoring the cabinet’s decision to dismiss him, he took the fight to the Supreme Court, where an affidavit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exposed his transparent lies. But the legacy media prefers to turn a blind eye, demonstrating once again that it would make a hero out of any villain, provided he’s useful for the permanent Never-Bibi campaign. But this may well be one lie too far.
