Will anyone be shocked by this? In a recording he revealed today (Tuesday) Avi Solomon on the 'Walla' website, Former Minister Yoaz Hendel, chairman of the "Reservists" party, was heard calling the ultra-Orthodox parties "an existential danger to the future of the state.".
He claims that the separatism led by the parties is the basis of the danger. "It is tearing us apart from within," he scolded.
Here are the quotes from the Walla website:
Hendel: "We must not allow a situation where in 2048, the hundredth anniversary of the state, there will be a non-Zionist majority here - controlling security, the economy, forming coalitions. That's just around the corner.".
""Our children will not forgive us if in the name of politics we let this happen, if we are blind and do not take advantage of this one-time opportunity after the most difficult war we have known to make amends here.".
""This is true about the chaos in the Arab sector. When I say about law and order, it is true about the ultra-Orthodox shtetl. The only thing that will save us is that those who don't serve don't get anything. Not even the right to vote and be elected. I don't decide here.".
""We're already broke. We're broken from carrying these sectors on our shoulders. Now, we can't say it outside, it sounds bad, it doesn't sound good, but there's no choice. If we don't fix it here now, we won't be able to fix it. This is a one-time opportunity.".
Hendel also attacked Avigdor Lieberman: "And with all due respect to those who have been in politics for 20 years, the only one who did not fold in front of the Haredim, even when there was a difficult dilemma with the kosher phones - I don't know who here remembers this event - when they pressured me to stop the kosher phone reform, even then I chose to be head over heels. I don't recognize anyone like that around. I don't think, I know, I am 100% convinced that all the existing parties, certainly the coalition that sold its soul to the devil with this evasion law, but certainly the opposition as well, will be ready to fold this time too, the main thing is to form a government.".
The former minister asked: "Do you have any doubt at all what is more important to them? To oust Bibi or dismantle the Haredi autonomy? They will always choose in the short term, Bibi. And that is exactly the disaster, the order of priorities. I want Bibi to go, listen carefully. They can not believe me, they can say it is wrong, I want him to go and I will do everything to make him go.".
""But Bibi, even if he goes and the Haredim still rule, we are marching towards the same disaster. That's why we need to deal with principles, not people. How do we make sure there is a Zionist government without the Haredim? Yes, even without the Arabs.".
