A heated discussion that began today in Niv Raskin's morning show studio continued to star hours later in the story of Maayan Adam, who claimed hypocrisy and did not hesitate to voice her opinion.

Maayan Adam responds to the taxi driver's storm

At the center of the video in question, which began circulating on the Internet yesterday (Wednesday), was documentation from the taxi camera of a driver of Arab descent who experienced racist behavior on the part of a passenger who refused to travel with him.

In a video recorded on the taxi camera, a passenger is seen getting up with a girl to the taxi and saying to the driver: "I was shown an invitation by one Ahmad, Amaleh, I died of fear." "Why?" The driver asks her. "Because I prefer not to go up with Arabs," she replies. "Then go down" he tells her and she replies: "If you are an Arab I go down". "Good night, get off, fly," the video ends with the driver's response.

The video, which went viral quickly, managed to generate angry reactions here and there, with some expressing support for the woman and her refusal and some being angry at the racist culture and discriminatory treatment of those of Arab descent.

Maayan Adam came up this morning (Thursday) for a head-to-head discussion with journalist Adi Meiri at the Niv Raskin morning program panel hosted by Nesli Barda, claiming that those who condemn the case do not say what they think: "She is not the only one - she is the majority," said Adam in response to Meiri, who claimed that her stomach was shrinking from the revelation of blatant racism, noting towards the end of the debate that her best friend is an Arab.

Adam later uploaded the full excerpt to her Instagram page and wrote: "Our confrontation this morning was about the real, complex and difficult video to watch, and I decided to enter the inferno in full consciousness. Because our fear is legitimate and our fear of telling the hard truth in front of a camera, no.

"We live in a terrible reality, which makes us suspicious even of those who do not deserve such treatment. Because terrorist attacks, terrorists, the murder of the late Shelly Dadon ... were not carried out by Swedes. And it hurt me how the driver felt, really, it's not right. But the terrorists are guilty of the injustice towards him, they created this situation not us.

"I believe with all my heart that such a conversation outside of cameras would have been conducted differently. From experience, the so-called. The truth is difficult, but sweeping it will not help. It is not easy to stand in front of an entire panel but otherwise I have no reason to exist here and thank you for all the reinforcements. ", Adam wrote and uploaded screenshots of reassuring responses she received.

Maayan Adam's response could not be obtained.
