Begin: Hatzel is a 'nationalistic thug'

MK Benny Begin (Likud) on Sunday fired back at controversial rapper Yoav Eliasi, also known by the stage name Hatzel, after the latter attacked Begin's family in a radio interview last week.

“The Likud is allowed to defend itself against a hostile entry of nationalistic thuggery,” Begin told Army Radio. “Anyone who loves his people can live in peace with other people. That's how a nationalistic liberal movement operates.”
