Since the publication of a "fact" investigation last night (Wednesday) about what allegedly took place recently in the Shanti House, the hothouse for at-risk and distressed youth, the winds are stormy.
For almost an entire hour, the program featured testimonies from counselors and teens who recounted the place's alleged harsh conduct, which included sexual assault and expulsion of teens from the home with no prior preparation and no explanations.
After the publication of the investigation, the daughter of the founder of the Shanti House, Marioma Klein, went to the defense of the house established by her mother, and attacked the show's presenter, Ilana Dayan, and the journalist Chen Lieberman.
Guri Alfi also wanted to side with the Shanti House, when he mentioned Klein's great work for the youth in Israel.
"My heart is broken," wrote Shanti, the daughter of the new Israel Prize bride, in her personal Facebook column.
"I shared from birth my bed, my food, my clothes, my home, my textbooks, I shared my mother," she asked to tell of her great dedication and commitment to a home that was and still is part of her life landscape.
Later, as mentioned, she turned directly to the presenter of the show and the journalist who brought the story.
"Ilana Dayan is good at talking. You say you want to reveal the truth, but you do not examine any fact in depth," she accused.
"You're a journalist who abuses your power, and it's a shame."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lieberman, the author of the article, also said: "You have been my girlfriend for four years. You talk about reliability, professionalism, where is your professional ethics? To say that you are too close to people connected to the article, and maybe you have your own motives," The scandalous investigation.
Meanwhile, actor and TV presenter Guri Alfi also defended the Shanti House on his Instagram page: "Marioma and the children of the Shanti House, counselors and all the friends and girlfriends associated with this beautiful and successful family. I love you, and believe in the rightness of the way," he wrote.
"I have seen for myself for so many years the good you bring to the world, that the good of the children is always always before your eyes. Mistakes may have been made, may be. I really do not know. But I am convinced that there is no one bad intention or malice behind the mistakes. ", Signed against the backdrop of a picture of him kissing and hugging Marioma Klein.
Marioma's daughter, Shanti Shanti, an actress by profession who also works as a training coordinator at the Shanti House, told us in response: "I would never have believed that Chen would be able to do such a thing. We were close. Unfortunately, Lieberman behaved shamefully at the expense of boys and girls. "Clean, would talk to graduates who had a positive experience at the place. I want to ask Chen only one question: Was it worth burning companies for ratings? Was it worth hurting your professional name, hiding from the public and maybe even Ilana Dayan who we were partners and close friends?"
In her appeal to Guri Alfi, he chose not to comment.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
