MK Shuli Muallem-Refaeli (Jewish Home) visited Ayelet HaShachar synagogue in Givat Ze'ev in solidarity shortly after Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon called synagogue supporters "thugs" and "extremists."
''I suggest the Defense Minister stop delegitimizing law-abiding citizens," Muallem fired. ''Members of this community served in the IDF, work for a living and are breadwinners of families."
