MK Shelly Yechimovich (Zionist Union) responded on Tuesday evening to the rally in support of soldier Elor Azariya, currently taking place at Tel Aviv’s Kikar Rabin (Rabin Square).
“Despite awkward attempts to falsely label the protest a rally on behalf of the IDF, this was an extreme right-wing hate protest, with a poor turnout. Whoever did turn out does not know the IDF and the State. Even the attempt to portray the protest as a rally ‘on behalf of our boy’ is deceptive. My children will never act like he did, just like the majority of ‘our children,’” she said.
