Natalie Dadon Slams Protesters for Targeting Knesset Speaker's Children's School

Israeli social media personality and model Natalie Dadon expressed outrage in an Instagram video directed at protesters who targeted the school attended by the children of Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana on the first day of the academic year. Parents and students were met with protest signs and stickers outside the educational institution, sparking widespread anger over the alleged politicization of children and the disruption of their first day of school.

Dadon questioned the mindset of those who would ruin a child's first day of school, asking, "What kind of twisted mind does a person need to destroy a pure little child's first day of school?" She lamented the exposure of young children to political conflict, stating, "Don't the child have enough to deal with within the school walls? You too, your evil on the heads of these little children? Why? You disgust me. You know what disgusts me? It disgusts me. How can you hurt children? Children!"

She urged protesters to imagine a child's experience, seeing the "filth" on their way to class, and exclaimed, "I want to vomit on you." Dadon criticized the protesters' moral values, questioning how they could inflict pain on a child on their first day of school while potentially identifying as enlightened and democratic. She asked, "How can you be so evil? Don't you know how to separate a public messenger from a pure child who did nothing to you? What kind of black soul must you have in your body to do such a thing? What are you made of?"

Concluding her impassioned plea, Dadon stated, "I vomit on you. You are not even worthy of this video. You are wasting oxygen in the world if you are capable of harming children who have done nothing to you." Her video ignited a debate on social media regarding the boundaries of protest and the necessity of keeping children and families out of political arenas.
