Member of Knesset Yisrael Eichler (United Torah Judaism) said Sunday "Evet [Avigdor] Liberman [chairman of the Yisrael Beytenu Party -ed.] is the Israeli Jeremy Corbyn, and his end will be a flaming fall, G-d willing. We must denounce him as Britain denounced Corbyn."
Rabbi Eichler was responding to the Saturday-night posting of a Russian-language video against the haredi-religious public and its way of life, which had caused great outrage in the haredi parties during the election campaign for the 21st Knesset. He added, "Looking at Liberman's activity, it is easy to see racism towards the haredi and Arab public in Israel," and said that "Liberman's conduct violates the fundamental principles of the Jewish and democratic state."
