An achievement for Orly Vilnai and Guy Maroz in a defamation lawsuit against Adam, who posted a series of posts on his Facebook page with harsh criticism and harsh derogatory remarks regarding their conduct as a foster family to a child of Eritrean descent. The defendant is Yossi Nakar, a family law attorney by profession, who also served as the attorney for the child’s biological mother. Walla! Tarbut learned that Judge Ilan Ronen, in the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court, ruled today (Wednesday) that Nakar will compensate the couple in the amount of NIS 75,000 (50,000 as compensation for defamation and another 25,000 for court expenses and fees).
Vilnai and Maroz filed, through attorneys Guy Ofir and Libby Shod Eldar, the lawsuit against Nakar three years ago. They presented to the court a long tract of publications raised by Nakar in which he claimed that Vilnai and Maroz allegedly had an illegitimate foster child, acted in violation of the law and lied. According to Vilnai and Maroz, he developed an “unexplained abysmal hatred” towards them, which was expressed in their slander, insults and contempt on social media, which began when he called their foster care arrangement and the child “outrageous foster care for the most inappropriate reasons.” Nakar later introduced the couple, among others, as disseminating racist views, working to abduct children for personal motives and more. Vilnai and Maroz claim that this campaign “made them feel humiliated, set them as a target for contempt and ridicule and harmed their occupation and social status.” In his defense, Nakar denied Vilnai and Maroz’s claims. In addition, he claimed that this was a claim for silence, but Judge Ronen rejected this claim. One of them is the accusation on the part of Nakar that Vilnai and Maroz are spreading lies and racist views. “The way the facts are presented by Nakar portrays Vilnai and Maroz as those who hold racist views. As those who do not want to have a child in their possession but rather use their status to ‘buy’ such. All these publications which surely despise Vilnai and Maroz, humiliate them in the eyes of the people and make them a target of contempt and ridicule, have the effect of defaming them. “
The second issue on which the judge ruled as libel is Nakar’s ridicule of Vilnai and Maroz in personal matters, presenting them as having been married in a fictitious marriage. This is what Nakar wrote in posts in February 2018: “If a couple of people in their 40s and 50s got married in the rabbinate properly for the purpose of adopting a child and the adoption did not take place, will they divorce when the adoption did not take place?” And “as much as this couple does not understand that foster care is not a substitute for failure to have children.” These and more, the judge ruled, are defamatory.
“Nakar argued in defense of ‘truth in publication’ but was found not to have proved any truth in those publications that attribute to plaintiffs the spread of lies and racist views,” the judge ruled. “The severity of the condemnations that Nakar inflicted on the plaintiffs’ heads cannot be taken lightly. The repeated publications accuse them of lying and mocking their personal affairs.
However, the judge ruled that there was no defamation in Nakar’s criticism of Vilnai and Maroz’s approval as a foster family, and in his criticism of their conduct as a foster family. In this regard, the judge wrote: “Woodpecker’s positions, even if they are blatant and not even true, do not amount to defamation.” In addition, the claim of Vilnai and Maroz for their moral copyright infringement in the use of the photos they took was rejected.

Yossi Nakar responded to Walla! Culture: “The ruling confirmed my thesis that it was proven that Orly and Guy gave screen time to Orr Shalom, and received a child in return for not having to attend. Most of Orly and Guy’s claims were rejected and my post dated January 21, 2015 Verification from the court. The sentence was confused with a quote from “Connected Plus” which referred to a white child that Orly and Guy refused to accept and not a black child. A mistake that the show proves is filmed and broadcast. “The juvenile court ruled that the mother did not abandon the minor. An appeal will be filed and an appeals court will see the errors of the justice of the peace. There are things that are written. Therefore I am optimistic. The bottom line.
Guy Maroz and Orly Vilnai told Walla! Culture: “We are very happy that this nightmare is over. Terrible slanders, which have led to more libelous slanderers – everyone is being sued, everyone has lost and will lose.”
