After Transport Minister Merav Michaeli came out against Omar Adam's new song, "Kakdila" and claimed that his words were "racist, divisive and humiliating", tonight (Monday) the singer responded to Michaeli in a post he posted on Instagram. "Dear Mrs. Michaeli, First of all respect that you take the song so seriously. My family and I are of Caucasian descent and never intended to hurt anyone. The song was written by the writers with self humor and performed by me as well.
" So please before you write a post to promote the Your political status, breathe, deal with your own affairs and before you preach morality to me or try to defend a community of which I am a part, you should treat your facts with respect. You are also invited to watch the 'State of the Nation' program starring your spouse who unlike me is trying to laugh at the whole country consciously and also at the Russian community. "Despite everything, the Minister loves you, and hopes that you will try to do something useful in the transportation industry."
Omar Adam attached to the post a YouTube clip from Schlein's program in which he and the rest of the panel mock Lieberman:

This weekend, as mentioned, Merav Michaeli came out against Omar Adam's new song, "Kakdila". In a Facebook post, the Minister of Transport wrote: "I wish I could be as light and cool as Omar Adam, I wish. I wish I could say what the problem is, it picks up and bounces guys at parties and weddings, what are you guys up to. I wish I could, like Omar Adam, ignore And deny the consequences of the racist, disparaging and humiliating words in his song.I wish.but unfortunately I am honored.because I have just been dealing for years with the devastating consequences of such songs and of the culture they represent and produce.
"I want to believe that Omar Adam is not an evil man. I want to believe that if Omar Adam had seen the girls whose lives were over because someone who had heard such a song thought it was cool and what she was interested in and what she was serious about, he would have brought this song out of the world. But he does not meet them. Because he chooses not to meet and not to see and not to face reality.
"It's not just about Omar Adam, of course," Michaeli added.
"All the stars who have such tremendous success and admiration, have tremendous power in their hands. And with that power comes great responsibility. Let's be so popular and cool without causing such terrible damage. Opportunity for a beautiful decision for the new year."
