After the storm and the thousands of angry and condemning comments Adele Bespalov received yesterday when a recording of her (first published in Israel Hayom) from her son's kindergarten WhatsApp group was revealed in which she is heard saying that she does not want Arab children to be educated in the kindergarten where he is enrolled, she received support Sunday night from her best friend and new mother, Shai Mika.

"It doesn't matter if you agree with her opinions or not, Adele has the biggest heart in the world and she's the girl with the purest soul there is," Shai clarified in the intro to the story she shared with her 311,<> Instagram followers. "Instead of spreading love and honoring Adele as a mother who merely cares for her child and hasn't expressed her opinions publicly, you're doing what got us to where we are today. Spreading hatred. Speak slander. Who appointed you to judge people in this world?
"Your hand is light on the keyboard and you are quick to put people at the stake," she wrote angrily. "No one here is G-d. Shame on you. If you continue like this, we will receive many more lessons from the Almighty. You will learn to accept the opinions of others. You will learn to love, to please, to contain even what is difficult to hear. What happened to you? That's it, are you running out of things to deal with? It's been more than a month. Is? Finished songs about brothers and sisters? Would you talk to your sister like that? Is? Can we go back to being bad to each other?"

In a recording exposed by Israel Hayom, Bespalov is heard saying: "If this were not the situation today, no one would speak or say a word, but as far as I'm concerned, an Arab child with Arab parents can't be in my children's kindergarten. The terrorist who carried out an attack in Jerusalem last week was also an Israeli Arab, and I don't feel like that. We are the majority in the kindergarten and I will decide that there will be no Arab child in the kindergarten and no Arab parents and until she understands it, I will also talk to her."

Her comments drew attack and criticism that also included condemnation from celebrities in the swamp, such as Valery Hamati, Bespalov. Bespalov said: "I am very apologetic. I don't have bad things to say about Israeli Arabs, but the attacks that have now taken place in Israel were carried out by Israeli Arabs and I'm afraid that right now my children will go to kindergarten with Arab children and parents. We're in a stressful time and I don't want to sit at home anxious about my children. That's the truth."
