Journalist Guy Peleg sharply condemned Yinon Magal, host of the program 'HaPatriotim,' for his recent remarks about former IDF Chief of Staff and 'Yashar!' party chairman Gadi Eisenkot. Peleg stated on his radio show that Magal's comments were not a slip of the tongue but rather 'Bibiism in all its ugliness.' Peleg interpreted Magal's use of the term 'Moroccan monkey' as a derogatory expression from the underworld, implying Eisenkot is unintelligent and used as a front to hide the true identities of those involved in criminal activity. Peleg argued that Magal's subsequent clarification only worsened the situation, suggesting the insult was not literal but a deeper form of racism. He elaborated that Magal implied Eisenkot is a pathetic individual who achieved his position solely due to his Moroccan heritage, which Peleg called "despicable, pathetic racism and condescending patronism." Peleg defended Eisenkot, highlighting his bravery, values, intelligence, and generosity, stating that Eisenkot's senior military positions were earned through merit, not his background. Peleg concluded by calling Magal "so pathetic and so enslaved" that he cannot recognize Eisenkot's noble qualities, labeling these remarks as the "ugly face of Bibiism" and urging listeners to vote them out within a week.
