A reporter for Israel’s right-leaning, pro-Netanyahu Channel 20 was fired on Wednesday evening after declaring, live on-air, that he was disappointed that no Arabs were killed after a rocket hit a soccer field in the northern city of Shfaram.
“One (rocket) has fallen on a soccer field in a large Arab community. Regretfully for us, it did not result in mass deaths there,” military commentator Kobi Finkler said, setting off a firestorm of criticism.
Channel 20, which started broadcasting in 2014, has been widely compared to Fox News in the United States for its rightward slant and employing many conservative journalists and commentators.
