Azoulay slammed the lemon-age politician: Am I a populist? Shame on you! You are the de facto opposition leader, you and your judge. Your backbone is a pillar of hatred!

Storm in the Finance Committee debate on the Dormitory Law: MK Yinon Azulai of the Shas Party today (Tuesday) sharply attacked Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon.

"When a child cannot integrate into a supervised daycare, he may find himself in unsupervised settings. This means direct harm to the child and a real risk to his safety and well-being. Where are the women's organizations? Why aren't they raising a clear voice against the harm to working women who are forced to deal with the consequences of this decision?"

""Don't give me grades," Azoulay fumed. "Are you calling me a populist? Shame on you! You are the de facto chairman of the opposition, you and your judge Gali Bahar Meara, you operate it. Your backbone is a pillar of hatred. You have nothing else. Shame on you.".

""With your despicable decision to exclude Torah scholars from the circle of eligibility for 'discounted housing' - you increased the chances of winning for the terrorists and supporters of terror who murdered our brothers.".

""Torah scholars are an integral part of the preservation and existence of the Jewish people throughout the generations. The world of Torah will continue to exist and grow stronger for the sake of the Jewish people, the Torah, and the Torah, and we will continue to stand up for their rights without compromise.".

Lemon replied: "I take it back, I didn't mean to offend.".

Earlier, Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon presented the Justice Ministry's position on the law: "Even after the law passes and the benefit is based on the woman's employment, from our perspective, when the husband evades military service, the benefit cannot be given to the family.".
