Two weeks ago, National Security MinisterItamar Ben-Gvirwas interviewed by Channel 12 News, claiming that the right of Jews to travel on the roads of the West Bank overrides the right of Palestinians living there. The minister's outrageous statement was widely condemned, including by modelBella Hadid, who is known for her support of the Palestinians and her opposition to the IDF and the Israeli government.
Ben-Gvir's remarks caused a storm not only outside the borders of Israel, but also here in Israel, of course, and the one who still did not remain indifferent was stylist and presenterDoreen Attias, who takes a very active part in demonstrations against the legal revolution and has often attacked Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahuand his cabinet members such asMiri RegevandBoaz Bismuth.
In an episode of her podcast "Fire," which was released last week and has been running again on social media over the past two days, Attias launched a particularly harsh attack on the minister and really spared no words: "This violent, violent little Tamagotchi, the terrorist, the criminal, this stupid Kahanist. The fact that he is a minister in Netanyahu's government is clear, it doesn't surprise me. He can't be a minister anywhere but Mr. Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu."

The presenter blamed the media for bringing the minister to where he is today: "The fact that he is a minister at all is the result of media work and why? Ben-Gvir is a hilltop boy, just a criminal, violent, racist, who cares about him? He was nothing and nothing and then the media covered him every chance there was because this ugly Tamagotchi brings ratings. TikTok, news, a few more minutes of broadcasting. Let's talk about this gods, let's see this man who is not afraid to say, who is not afraid to dare, who is not afraid to speak his opinions, a racist."
She then referred to Ben-Gvir's statement in the same interview: "He sits on a main edition on Channel 12, with the peak ratings, including the fact that we gave him a platform for this terrible racist, who says that his life, and that of his wife and children in Judea and Samaria is more important than an Arab movement. Don't say he says 'terrorists,' 'terrorists,' he doesn't say that. He says from the movement of citizens. And Muhammad sits across from him, he wrote, and says to him again, 'Sorry Muhammad for saying this.' And the studio is quiet, and Yonit Levy says to him at the end, 'Thank you for coming to the studio!!

"Let's start with the fact that they didn't have to give him a stage, a space, in the studio at this time. No, it is forbidden to hear it. Who are you to say that someone's life is less important than you because he's an Arab?! A human life! And instead of stopping him and telling him: 'I don't lend a hand to such texts, to such incitement, to such racism. It has no place in my country,'" she continued, attacking the show's presenter,Yoni Levy: "She says to him, 'Thank you for coming to the studio.' Soul, before you are a news anchor on Channel 12, you are a mother of children. You're just Yonit Levy, just! Get up, put an end to it! Because if you don't put an end to it and your colleagues don't put an end to it, we will be an apartheid state! You get it, I hope."
Attias continued her angry monologue passionately, concluding: "Why am I so upset? It's like you'll see with your own eyes some very, very serious injustice and you'll keep going. You have to stop and say, 'Stop!' I don't want my child to grow up knowing that there is one man named Itamar Ben-Gvir, when at the end of the day he says such harsh words, a reporter says thank you. I have a 14-year-old boy who will grow up in a liberal, free, respectful human being, live and let live. You won't change it, you won't destroy everything I've built."
