A right-wing the source claims that a Walla report about a clash between settlers and activists falsely presented left-wing activists — two of whom reportedly serve in the reserves — as reserve soldiers attacked by settlers. The channel accuses the outlet of manipulating the public in favor of the radical left.
A right-wing the source this evening accused Walla (Vinat) of deliberately misrepresenting a physical altercation. According to the channel's post, the people involved were not reserve soldiers on duty, but rather left-wing activists — two of whom reportedly serve in the reserves — who came to the scene as provocateurs. The channel singles out Tom Pinchasi by name, calling him a political activist who builds a career on his reserve service. The post questions how the IDF would allow reservists to participate in a provocation and give interviews about it. No independent corroboration for the channel's version of the clash is provided in the source message.
