Another basis for the plaintiff's claim is the complaint that the defendant filed following the incident to the manager of the taxi station where the plaintiff worked at the relevant times, as well as another post that the plaintiff published on Facebook on November 2, 2019, in which she noted, inter alia, that the previous post had been removed by Facebook, after the plaintiff had "whined".
- First, I will refer to the first post on the Facebook page "Tweeting Statuses". This is what it was said in that publication:
"Son of a bitch. A piece of a motherfucker. And you shall sue me, O nothing. His name is David. Taxi driver. Driving in a Mercedes. 'It cost me 200,000 shekels.' He is my daughter's taxi driver. Autistic. A girl who makes a supreme effort to fit into the school bus. He screams at me and her as I gently sit her in the taxi, 'She won't eat in my taxi.' 'Sir, don't shout next to her. She's autistic, she's going to have a tantrum,' I explain calmly, it's clear to me how much damage his shouting does to an autistic girl. I perceive the fear in Uriah's eyes. Listen carefully. He gets out of the taxi to me. "If she eats in a taxi, I'll stop a taxi and drop her off in the middle of the road."
Poor Uriah. 'You won't drive my child, and you won't drive any disabled child,' I answer. "It's not worth the dirty money she's doing to me anyway," he shouts. I was warned by bus drivers. I warned myself. But this zero motherfucker, uncle who screamed at an autistic girl who had to eat on the trip to keep herself busy and not hit herself, I didn't imagine that. Mercedes in my ass."
This post was accompanied by a photo of the back of the plaintiff's taxi, where it is possible to distinguish its license number and taxi number. This publication was not denied by the defendant.
There is no doubt that presenting the plaintiff as such an inconsiderate and insensitive person in such an extreme way towards a girl with special needs is liable to make the plaintiff a target of hatred and contempt. Moreover, in view of the plaintiff's occupation as a taxi driver, who also transports children with special needs, this publication is liable to harm the plaintiff's livelihood. In this context, we are not referring to the profanity and impolite insults in the post, but rather to the substance of what is said there.
