Former MK Shirly Pinto responded with shock after a German woman uploaded a video to social media, spreading fake news about the State of Israel.
"I was horrified to watch an antisemitic video clip published by a deaf German woman, in sign language," Pinto, who is also deaf, wrote on Facebook.
The clip, Pinto said, "sowed lies and hatred towards Jews and towards Israel. I could not remain silent. Am Israel chai!"
In her video clip, the German woman had claimed that the cost of living in Israel is rising so that the government will have money to purchase weapons to use against "Palestinians."
Pinto responded: "The cost of living is rising in the entire world, because we are post-corona and [because of] the war between Russia and Ukraine."
The video clip also included vilification of IDF soldiers and Israel Police, mostly following footage in which police officers can be seen pushing back Muslim rioters on the Temple Mount.
To this, Pinto responded, "What happened in the riots is that those same Palestinians decided to hide weapons inside the mosque on the Temple Mount, because their goal, at the moment of truth, is to go out and murder Jews."
