Minister Dudi Amsalem addressed the conscription law today (Sunday) at the conference of the Association of Municipal Corporations in Eilat - and claimed that they are trying to harm the Haredim.
""When I examine the history of the Jewish people, without Torah there is no Jewish people. Therefore, anyone who studies Torah, in my view, is the jewel in the crown. I see him contributing no less than a soldier who is now fighting in Gaza. There is no difference between them.".
""The tribe of Levi never fought. It always worked in the Holy Land. It is very difficult to study Torah from morning until night. To worship the Holy One, blessed be He, is not easy. They condemn themselves to a life of poverty. Some are able. Some are half-able and some are not able. I wish I could replace those who study Torah.".
According to him, "The IDF has surplus fighters that billions have been invested in - but the army is dragged along by all the poison of the left. They are unable to recruit them. If tomorrow all the Haredim come to the army, the entire left will go to Kaplan and say: Don't recruit them!""
He sharply attacked the Israeli left: "We have gone through four terrible and horrible years and I have come to the conclusion that the left in the State of Israel is the most violent in the country and the most anti-democratic. The left has never sanctified democracy, but rather the government. But something happened. I think the fundamental change that has happened here in recent years is that the public understands what is happening.
""When you said the Supreme Court, you would raise your head up and as if you saw angels walking. Today it's people with a first name and a last name that the public knows. There are millions of people who see and are blown away, there are three or four million David Zini in the country. Same thing with Goffman. We will do the reform with strength and brains.".
Regarding Gofman's appointment, he said: "He will be the head of the Mossad. What they did to Zini and Gofman will not be forgiven. They allow themselves to humiliate these people. Did they do something to Ronen Bar, who is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people? They fought to keep him from leaving. But Zini? God forbid. Why? Because he is Spanish.".
