Have you started selling pacifiers and packages for Purim?
“I hand out free parcel deliveries, I hand out free sets of costumes and eggs. By the way thousands of messages, surprisingly most of them are people who hold English and American cell phone numbers, I just said.”
Want to get back at things?
“No, but I want to explain. I think that during the Corona period, as part of the great rift here, the size, depth and power of ultra-Orthodox autonomy within Israel became clear and I think both societies, the so-called general public and the ultra-Orthodox public, must shake off. “There is an entire public in Israel that sees the law, there is someone above the law. There are rabbis who are above the law and everyone has a different rabbi, it is not that there is one rabbi.”
When you talk about the terminology of war …
“I think, and it is not anti-Semitic and I do not hate any person or even ultra-Orthodox, but there is a public that is very difficult to manage, and in recent years plus the fact that he was in power, the Minister of Health for example, destroyed the health system. He will take over the country and I am not talking about religion. “
The word war is hard.
“All you want is to come back from the word war? If the ultra-Orthodox public does not study Libya, mathematics, English and only sacred things, why do they have so many spelling mistakes? The worst Hebrew I’ve ever heard in my life. “
You say war and a week or two ago at the funeral you wrote ‘then ask why you hate them’. This is unacceptable talk. It’s like they say about gays.
“Let’s start with the fact that the situation is that from the beginning of the corona there are an infinite number of rabbis who explain that the corona came because of the gays, I did not say that the corona came because of the ultra-Orthodox. “… I really do not want to get into this, of swearing at gays with pictures. That’s also an interesting question.”
Returning to you or not?
“I’m not willing to give you (Inon) a fun tweet, you don’t deserve it. I’m only willing to go back to Ben.”
