During the program "Moriah and Barko" hosted by Eyal Berkowitz and Moriah Asraf on Channel 13, the presenter showed how disconnected he is.
Berkowitz said: "I just returned from a vacation in Paphos where I kept thinking about the kidnapped people, and on the other hand about all these disconnected people who fly to pray in Uman and don't care about the kidnapped people.".
The contradiction in his words drew harsh criticism from him and the channel's leaders.
Dr. Gadi Taub responded: "The problem is not Eyal Berkowitz. The problem is the people who think that hiring Eyal Berkowitz is a good idea. These people are holding a sledgehammer in their hand, and they are trying to beat your brains out, so that you will become stupid enough to eat any propaganda they want to push on you. A veteran editor named Tali Ben-Ovadia is responsible for this television masterpiece. Ben-Ovadia is not stupid. But she wants you to be.".
Channel 14 presenter Shai Goldstein wrote: "There are no such things... 'I was on vacation in Paphos and thought about the kidnapped people all the time, and on the other hand there are those who fly to Uman and don't care about the kidnapped people or anything.' You can't make up his brilliance. The stupid leftist mindset in its purest form.
""When they vacation, they are arrogant and think about the kidnapped, and when they vacation, it's because they don't care about the kidnapped. What a stupid public, God.".
There are no such things..

""I was on vacation in Paphos and I thought about the kidnapped people all the time, and on the other hand, there are those who fly to Uman and don't care about the kidnapped people or anything.""
You can't invent lightning.
The stupid leftist mindset in its purest form.
When they vacation, they are tall and think about the kidnapped, and when fat people vacation, it's because they don't care... pic.twitter.com/HDGdwCywhC
One of the surfers wrote about Berkowitz's words: "Translation - 'I was on vacation abroad and I thought about the kidnapped and those who fly abroad because they don't care about the kidnapped.' There is no person in the entire State of Israel who is more stupid than Eyal Berkowitz.".
Another surfer wrote: "Eyal Berkowitz will receive the President's Medal for winning first place in the 'Thinking of the Kidnapped' competition, after he was chosen to represent Paphos in the global competition held at the Nation Buildings.".
And the Prime Minister's advisor, Yonatan Urich, commented on Berkowitz's joint presentation with Erel Segal on Radio 103 - and wrote: "I almost got injured today by falling from Erel Segal's IQ to Eyal Berkowitz's.".
