The storm continues following the words of MK Avigdor Lieberman in an interview with “Ofira and Barko” last Friday. The chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu said that he would send “the ultra-Orthodox together with Bibi on a wheelbarrow to a landfill.”
Even in Torah Judaism they were outraged at the statements. Chairman MK Moshe Gafni stated that he “expects law enforcement authorities to address this antisemitic statement.” A picture of a wheelbarrow was uploaded to the party’s Twitter page with the caption: “Do you know a landfill that is open now?”
Chairman of the Constitution Committee Yaakov Asher noted that “on the way to gaining another quarter of a seat, Lieberman is willing to make use of every possible expression, no matter how low. It is time to put an end to incitement against the ultra-Orthodox public. “Minister of Construction and Housing Yaakov Litzman added that” the instinct of hatred and the urge for incitement that motivates Yvette are causing him to go off the rails. “

Opposition leader MK Yair Lapid: “The ultra-Orthodox should not be thrown in the landfill. The reformers are not dogs. IDF soldiers are not ‘shiksa’. The leftists are not traitors. The rightists are not fascists. “Start talking differently, behave differently, argue differently. Politics drags Israeli society into the abyss. It’s time for a sane discourse.”
Diaspora Minister Omar Yankelevich (blue and white) tweeted: “If an ultra-Orthodox public were elected, they would say, ‘I will send the seculars to a landfill,’ the media would be tumultuous. The incitement. “
