Hatzroni vs. Buzaglo:
After three years of hearings in the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court, Prof. Amir Hatzroni's lawsuit against the media woman and the band Amira Buzaglo and Keshet Broadcasting came to an end and the lawsuit was dismissed.
Last night (Wednesday), a judge of the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court rejected the lawsuit, which was filed in 2019 and ordered Hatzroni to pay the costs of the hearing, a total of NIS 20,000.
As you may recall, in May 2015, the media woman and the band Amira Buzaglo and Prof. Hatzroni were invited to discuss the morning program of Keshet Broadcasting, hosted by Yoav Limor and Galit Gutman.
During the discussion, quotes were taken from a racist post written by Prof. Hatzroni, in which he blames the Mizrahis for the election results.
"All kinds of Jews, and doubtless Jews, and half Jews from Third League countries whose unifying factor is to kiss amulets, eat chickpeas, drink borscht, take allowances and have an orgasm from quarreling with the world," the post reads.

The heated debate continued in the studio and culminated when Amira Bouzaglo slapped him: "You are a fascist, a racist and a poor soul."
Hatzroni immediately responded: "Nothing terrible would have happened if your parents had stayed in Morocco and rotted there, and that does not make me a racist or a fascist."
Hatzroni was asked to apologize live to Amira and the viewers and leave the studio.
Hatzroni's name recently made headlines following the violent incident in which he was involved, during which a chair was thrown at his head while he was participating in a program on the "Online TV" channel with Chen Asur and Kobi Suissa in Ashdod.
The assailant, whose head was covered in a hoodie, fled the scene using an electric bicycle.
Hatzroni was wounded in the head, treated on the spot and lodged a complaint with the police.
