A few days ago, this video was disseminated by the Israel-haters, to show the “true face” of the Jewish state/Israel/Zionist
The video is 5 years old, and was taken by popular Israeli children’s entertainer Roy Oz. He was roundly condemned for it by Israelis everywhere, and faces severe consequences.
Oz, known popularly as “Roy Boy,” said in a Facebook post that the video was taken some five years ago during a family trip. It wasn’t clear how the video surfaced now.
“I would like to express my deep regret for the comments [in the video]. They were wrong. I do not educate my children in such a manner and no child should be educated in such a manner,” he said.
“My way is one of love for my fellow man and I will continue on that path. I am sorry from the bottom of my heart and ask forgiveness from anyone who was hurt.”
Prior to Oz’s confession, police had said they would examine the video. It was not clear whether any action would be taken against Oz, but on Sunday the head of the Bedouin Al-Kasom Regional Council filed a complaint with police.

Yair Maayan, director-general of the Authority for the Development and Settlement of the Bedouin, condemned “the wretched and demeaning video shamefully uploaded by a pathetic man who educates his children to racism.”
MK Ram Ben-Barak (Yesh Atid-Telem) called the clip “repulsive” and said he would bring the matter before the Knesset next week.
The Racism Crisis Center said the video “demonstrates the ugly racist education some Israelis choose to provide their children,” and added that it “illustrates racist discourse that is unfortunately not uncommon toward Bedouin society, and the message is passed from generation to generation.”
The Junior Channel said Sunday it would halt filming of the next season of “Roy Boy” over the video.
“Behavior of this type is completely unacceptable to the channel,” a spokesperson for the network said in a statement.
While noting that Oz had apologized, the statement said he would meet with the network’s management in the coming days to discuss “the future of cooperation” between them.
Widespread condemnation of a racist act committed by one man, the matter to be brought before the Knesset, the TV network getting involved, a Racism Crisis Center trying to improve certain attitudes – that is the face of Israel.
Did Edo Konrad, Quds News Network, and other haters say anything when Israeli father Michael Ben-Zikri, gave up his life to save that of a 40-year-old Bedouin woman and her three children from drowning just over a week ago?
Of course not – because that is the true face of the Israel hater: always going out of their way to demonize the world’s only Jewish state, while ignoring the copious amounts of good.
