World Mizrachi movement responded to the British Jewish umbrella group's harsh remarks against MK Bezalel Smotrich. "Disagreements within the Jewish world in general and in religious Zionism in Israel and around the world, as sharp as they are, do not have to deteriorate into boycotts and denigrating language toward anyone generally, and a public leader, in particular."
"The statement made by the British umbrella group marked by boycott and personal and humiliating attacks against MK Bezalel Smotrich is fundamentally wrong. The culture of boycotts we have been exposed to lately encourages aggressiveness and divisiveness. Conducting disputes with pure intention, no matter how difficult, out of mutual respect, will encourage a culture of discourse and unity. In the spirit of the month of Adar - we strive to be one people - not one scattered and dispersed people."
