Moria Asraf, a co-host on Channel 13's "Moria and Berkovich," stated that she typically receives negative reactions from the left side of the political spectrum, not the right. She shared that the most common insults she encounters are "You Moroccan," "You Farha," and "You Mizrahi Farha," which she attributes to people on her co-host Eyal Berkovich's side. Asraf emphasized that these derogatory comments are almost always ethnically charged, which she finds particularly serious. She suggested that racism in Israel in 2026 is not confined to one political camp, telling Berkovich, "I don't buy that one side is racist and the other isn't. I'm sorry to disappoint you. There are very many racists in your camp." Asraf made these remarks in the context of a controversy stirred by Yinon Magal, a host on Channel 14's "The Patriots," referencing his statements from the previous day.
