The haredi-religious Shas Party filed a petition on Monday with the Central Election Commission, seeking an injunction against the airing or posting of a video by the Blue and White Party which claims, among other things, that haredi representatives "are asking for all the money Israel has for themselves."
Shas claimed that the chairmen of Shas and the United Torah Judaism faction are presented in the video as "profit chasers who have nothing on their minds but money." The petition added, "In doing so, the video expresses a racist message that seeks to harm the fabric of life in the State of Israel among the various "tribes". It has real potential for incitement and harm to the haredi public and goes beyond the accepted and permitted political message."
