Lucy Aharish is allowed everything: Channel 13 gives her the stage and also applauds

An opinion writer on Channel 14 criticizes Channel 13 for preferential treatment of Lucy Aharish, who returned to broadcasting with a long monologue about racism, while in a past interview she said she would not marry an Arab man. The writer claims imbalance and generalization on her part.

An opinion piece on Channel 14 criticizes Channel 13 for how it handled the Lucy Aharish affair. After a confrontation with Eyal Berkovic and her refusal to return to broadcasting, Aharish returned last night (Wednesday) to her show and opened with a nearly ten-minute monologue about 'the ethnic demon' and racism towards Arabs in Israeli society. The article quotes an old interview in which Aharish said she would not marry an Arab man, claiming he might 'turn' and hit her. The writer argues that while Aharish speaks out against racism, she herself generalized an entire public in her statements. It is also claimed that Channel 13 gave Aharish preferential treatment and an extended platform, while Berkovic was promised an apology.
