Bar Izak harshly attacked Albin and also Shoshan himself, stating, "You said she is a charming woman, she is a shocking woman, a repulsive woman. What is this, Shoshan? A charming-charming woman. Why do we always have to add this flattery that on a personal level she is a charming woman. Tell me, is this a charming woman?"
Shoshan responded, "I respect people who, even if they say shocking things, are nice on a personal level. What can you do, that's life. What did you want me to do, flip a table over her?"
Bar Izak concluded, "I am half Moroccan and was deeply offended by her words, and when I hear another Moroccan person saying she is a charming woman, I am disgusted." She identified herself as half Moroccan and stated she was deeply offended by Albin's words.
