MK Mickey Levy of the Yesh Atid faction last week once again attacked yeshiva and kollel students, writing on his Facebook page: "Because Torah students in kollel and yeshiva are idlers.".
""This is what a budget for increasing poverty looks like," Levy wrote. "Instead of expanding the work grant, they are doubling the unemployment budget. Systemic madness." Levy's comments came following the publication of data on the website "The Marker" according to which the budget for the Abrechim was doubled eightfold under the current government.
However, these figures are completely wrong, and are misleading the public, who rely on the absurd figures of the Movement for the Quality of Government, which were also published in the "All Inclusive" program on Channel 10. It is amazing how all the media outlets 'bought' these absurd numbers and presented them as a scholarship given to the graduates every month, when in reality it is a one-time retroactive payment, which only compensates for the decrease in previous governments. The amount remains exactly as it was before the cuts in the previous government.

And if soSpeaking of the MK from Yesh Atid, I couldn't help but recall Levy's statement in the Netanyahu-Lapid government, in which he called the Haredim "parasites." Well, after all, the chairman of his party is the same Yair Lapid who changed his face, the same one who fought the Haredim and issued "decrees" against them as long as he could, who recently changed his face and tried to endear himself to the sector without success.
This change that the former Finance Minister has undergone must moderate MK Mickey Levy's statements. Be careful, Mr. Levy, that you don't receive a reprimand from Lapid, who claims that he no longer incites against the Haredi and that in his speeches, according to him, you won't hear words of incitement. Be careful not to ruin his nice image, which, by the way, he didn't "buy" in the sector anyway.
At the beginning of your show Lapid, when you danced with Holocaust survivors at the Western Wall, and your wife made challah, etc., I could have thought a very wild thought, and almost bought that you had changed, but then I got to the bottom of your mind and realized that there was no chance. I believe that people can change - although most of the time it hardly ever happens - but in relation to you I lost my optimism.
Why, you ask yourself? I remember when the "amended" draft law passed, you went back to your roots. It doesn't matter if the incitement was direct or indirect, the message was clear and the damage was done. Incitement is incitement, Yair is Yair, Mickey is Mickey, and Yesh Atid is Yesh Atid. The same lady in a change of clothes.

When your party member returned to incitement, a red light went on for me. Yair, didn't you say after your "change" that you see the value of Torah study as an important value? My conclusion is that you are not a second-rater, you follow your own interests, and your party is also the same party that has made it its mission to fight Torah scholars and divide the people.
There has never been a more divided period in the nation than the one when you were a partner in the government. I will never forget a conversation with your hateful activists. You claim that you have changed, prove it to me, I will be willing to listen. After all, it is said, "Prove it and prove your colleague.".

PS: Good luck with your relationship with Litzman, after all, he is the minister the public is most pleased with.
