Hadas Fischer Zeevi, one of the prominent contestants in the Here 11 program, comes to the defense of contestant Casey Zafta, who received harsh reactions on the Internet for her Filipino origins. That we will not be surprised later that there is crime "


The storm of racism on here's reality show 11 "Come Eat With Me" continues.

The racist reactions towards Casey Zafta, an Israeli young woman of Filipino descent who converted in her youth, continued even in the days following the broadcast of the episode of the beginning of the week (Sunday), as she revealed last night (Wednesday) in a sharp and charged post she posted on her Facebook.

"A girl who has no right to be a resident of the State of Israel.

It's a pity they didn't expel you, "was one of the responses she received and shared. But now she is receiving strong and uncompromising support from her friend on the show, Hadas Fischer Zeevi.

As you may recall, in an episode that aired earlier this week (Sunday), a conversation that took place at the dinner table between Casey and another participant, Oshrit Mulai, who defines herself as a social activist and works to expel migrant workers and refugees, provoked the racist demon from its slumber and drew a wave of harsh reactions across the network.

But as mentioned, among the reinforcing reactions that Zafta received after the post was posted on her Facebook page, the reaction of a familiar figure stood out.

"Haimi, you are the most Israeli there is. Dead on you, my infiltrator," Hadas Fischer Zeevi, who appears next to her on the show, raised her in a post she posted.

Fischer, who is not afraid to say what is at the heart of the program itself, shared "Israel Today" with her feelings regarding the attack on Zafta: "Immigrants are in every country in the world, it is part of the social fabric. "We can enforce crimes, we can demand taxes," she said.

"To remind you, our parents and grandparents, too, were all immigrants, with different religions and colors. If we leave the different in the dark and in poverty, we will not be surprised later that there is crime.

"Even if I did not have an equal opportunity to make a living, I would steal my hungry baby Materna from the writer. There are also Jews who are rapists and criminals. In the meantime, they are the ones who take care of the elderly, wash dishes in restaurants, and do all the work we do. 

"Apparently it just does not go down the throat of a Filipino girl, instead of shutting her mouth and 'cleaning houses quietly', says what she has to say and does not apologize," she concluded.

"There are immigrants in every country in the world."

In Zafta's post, she referred to all the harsh reactions she continues to receive, writing: "I did not choose to be born here. I believe

That the universe chose me.

And a Jew?

It broke my heart when I found out I was not.

All my life I just waited to get to the big moment and convert.

At 18, of course, I enlisted like everyone else.

After all, I belong here.

This is my country, and this is what I want to do enthusiastically.

"To say that my local is not here or to claim that I am a candidate for deportation and while claiming how much it stems from 'net Judaism' is a bit annoying to me. This is my country, I love it, I love you too. "And if these are the reactions of persecution and hatred I get, we probably have learned nothing," she signed the post.
