From the woman he was afraid to meet to the figure he admired: Roi Star says goodbye to Shfi Paz

Roi Star eulogized Shfi Paz on the program "Israel This Morning" and described how he was afraid to meet her due to her media image, but discovered a deep and pleasant woman. Host Oded Menashe noted that Paz changed her views from one extreme to the other. The interview raised claims of selective enforcement and legal persecution by the police.

A few days after the death of Shfi Paz, the leader of the struggle for the residents of southern Tel Aviv, part of the program "Israel This Morning" on Channel 14 was dedicated this morning (Friday) to her memory. Right-wing activist and musician Roi Star eulogized her emotionally and described how he first met her about a year ago at a protest in front of the Attorney General's residence. Star said he was afraid to meet her because of the image attributed to her in the media, but discovered a woman "deep, patient, and capable of dialogue." Host Oded Menashe noted that Paz came from the radical left and completely changed her views after the events of October 7. The interview raised claims of selective enforcement and legal persecution by the police, including administrative detentions and prison sentences. Star emphasized that Paz sacrificed her life and freedom for the struggle and that her death left a deep void.
