Yinon Magal: Yes, but it's not the reform.  It's not the reform itself...  It's people, people who think it will harm Israel's security, or harm freedoms and so on, you say, they can get to the point where they use weapons, if I understand you correctly.

Plaintiff: God forbid, it is better to add the word God forbid

Yinon Magal: So how will a civil war be ?

Prosecutor: God forbid.  It can happen, that if I say now, God forbid, I won't say it, God forbid, it won't prevent the matter.  I think you're playing right now.

Yinon Magal: I think you're playing.

Prosecutor: You're trying to catch me with a word that I'll say, and then you'll say that I said it or I didn't say it

Ben Caspit: Of course

...

Yinon Magal: Now let's ask this question, you're talking here about a civil war, who will open fire? Who will open fire?

The plaintiff: ...  But I will tell you the following and I stand by them.  That what is happening today in the State of Israel, God forbid, in square by square may, God forbid, end in bloodshed.

Yinon Magal: Yes, how? Why? Explain the scenario to me.

Prosecutor: Because people will lose control, on one side or the other, or on both sides, and it will end in such a simple civil war.

Yinon Magal: No, I don't understand that.  I don't understand it.

...

Prosecutor: The processes that are happening today here in Israel may, God forbid, end in a civil war, period.  I stand behind these things.

Yinon Magal: Because what, because what will happen? They will pass the reform.

Prosecutor: Now the police will come to me and tell me, we'll interrogate you, how dare you say your opinion?

Ben Caspit: But he keeps repeating it.

Yinon Magal: No, there is one side here that threatens.  After all, it's also a kind of threat, it's like protection, when someone comes and says

Prosecutor: I'm not threatening, I'm expressing an opinion.

Yinon Magal: Yes, yes, of course, it's also the Bedouin who comes to the business owner in Beersheba, he's not threatening, he's just announcing ...  he's just expressing an opinion.
