"We as a society are committed to caring for the senior citizens of Israel, protecting them, and encouraging the public to treat them with the utmost respect and appreciation," wrote Minister Cohen. "I address you with the aim of expressing disgust at providing such a central stage to a person accused of assaulting a senior citizen."
"A person who assaults an elderly citizen about the age of 67 is not worthy of appreciation and admiration, but of all condemnation."

The minister further wrote that "I believe that people who act in these ways should be condemned and certainly not allowed to star in programs with so much exposure, which not only gives legitimacy to the despicable acts that the defendant allegedly committed, but may even become a phenomenon that teens can emulate."
