The children's TV. shows star, Roy OZ, waves a cookie to two Bedouin children while talking to his children: "Who wants to feed a Bedouin?"
A video footage trended on social media, showing an Israeli well-known children’s TV. show host with his family driving in the Negev desert and feeding two Bedouin children as if they were zoo animals.
The TV. shows star, Roy OZ (known as Roy Boy), opens the windows holding a cookie. He waves the cookie to two Palestinian Bedioun children while talking to his son: “Ariel, do you want to feed a Bedouin?”, he says.
“Let’s feed a Bedouin. Don’t you want to feed a Bedouin?” he repeatedly says to his children in the backseat.
The video provoked outrage among human rights activists and criticism against the institutional racism and dehumanization of native Palestinians by ‘Israel’ and Zionism.
The irony is that Roy Oz has made numerous children’s television shows and films, mostly focused on nature and animals.
Oz said in a Facebook post that the video was taken some five years ago during a family trip. It wasn’t clear how the video surfaced but now that it stirred controversy, Oz apologized for it.
Atia al-Asem, head of the Regional Council of Palestinian Villages in the Negev, lamented the shocking video, adding that the Bedouin children were being treated like “monkeys.”
MK Ahmad Tibi called Oz’s behavior “The lowest of human behavior, racist and despicable brutishness.” tweets

Protesters try to break through barriers around neighborhoods placed under lockdown, for spike in coronavirus cases, calling police Nazis, claiming they are treated like African Americans in U.S.
Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox residents of Jerusalem demonstrated Sunday against the closures imposed on their neighborhoods after a steep rise in coronavirus cases. video
The protesters clashed with police as they tried to break through the barriers placed around their communities, calling the forces Nazi's and anti-Semites and claiming they were being treated like African Americans are in the United States.
Some of the demonstrators voiced criticism of members of Knesset from the Haredi parties claiming they have turned their back on their constituents and called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign.
The demonstration took place despite the PMs announcement earlier in the day that he would be meeting on Monday with the ultra-Orthodox ministers in his cabinet and MK's from religious factions, to hear their concerns and try to find solutions to the claim that their communities were unfairly sanctioned by health officials who have deemed their neighborhoods hotspots for COVID-19 contagion as well as accusations of police brutality when enforcing closures.
One demonstrator told Ynet that the financial crisis some families are suffering from, leads them to risk death from the virus rather than face hunger.
"We will not support Netanyahu again," he said, "I used to be a staunch supporter but now I am reconsidering my future positions," he said.
The man also spoke of his disappointment in his parliamentary representatives whom he said have abandoned him and his neighbors. "[Housing Minister Yaakov] Litzman and [Interior Minister Arye] Deri's neighborhoods were not put under lockdown," he said.
On Friday Litzman and Deri met with Minister of Public Security Amir Ohana to discuss what they claimed was over enforcement of regulations requiring the wearing of masks.
Ohana told senior police commanders to instruct their forces to enforce regulations with compassion and consideration after lockdowns in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods were announced.

Israeli occupation authorities demolished a wedding hall today in the Arab town of Tira, in central Israel, under the pretext of construction without a permit.
Heavily armed Israeli police forces accompanied by bulldozers broke into the town in the early morning hours, cordoned off the area where the wedding hall is located, before proceeding to tear it down.
Clashes erupted between the forces and youths who protested the Israeli demolition. The police fired rubber-coated rounds and teargas to disperse the youths, causing many cases of suffocation from gas inhalation.
Houses and structures Arab cities and towns in Israel are a frequent target for demolitions as Israeli authorities make it very difficult for Arab citizens to obtain building permits.
Currently, thousands of Palestinian-owned homes in Israel are scheduled for demolition, with many accusing the government of selectively carrying out demolitions in Israel’s Arab communities.
