Channel 13 didn't exactly respond well to this.

In one line they say:
“The Channel 13 staff and I are pained and mourn the deaths of those murdered in Jerusalem. We came to tell their story. To report.”
and in the next:
“The violence and blatant racism toward the journalists was unnecessary. It won’t deter us,”

​

The antagonizing of the public that already receives you poorly won't get you more support. As journalists, you should know that it's an emotional reaction and talking it down will just create more distance. I don't doubt violence was unnecessary but those that see it that way, already know it, and those that see it as defense of their rights, won't change their minds because you accuse them of racism.

​

Regardless, it's tragic that it happened.

At a dinner with senior colleagues I commented casually how people have tendency to overrate me. One of them responded "but have you ever thought that it may be the case because people do actually like you and your work?".
