House committee chairman David Amsalem (Likud) responded on his Facebook page to left-wing political attacks on him after the Recommendation Law which he initiated was approved in its initial reading.
Amsalem said that "for the Left, Bitan and Amsalem are two Moroccans who should be running a stall in the market. What are they doing in the Knesset? They have no education and who are they to legislate."
Amsalem said that "what's happening to the Left is a reversal of their values - truth is a lie, lies are truth. There is no more just law than the Recommendations Law. They criticize a law which is good for Israeli citizens for narrow political reasons and because they want to oust Netanyahu at any price."
Amsalem added that the Left is wrong about their education, as Bitan is a lawyer and he is an economist.
