'The Association for Civil Rights in Israel, a radical left-wing organization funded by the New Israel Foundation, has often angered the ultra-Orthodox public and its elected representatives in the Knesset. What is a “shared car price list”? How will the prices be displayed in the price list? All the details This is an extreme left-wing organization that operates in practice against IDF forces, and against Jewish values ​​in the State of Israel, such as on the issue of separation between men and women on buses. However, according to a report on News 20, two Haredi representatives - Deputy Minister of Transportation Uri Maklev from United Torah Judaism and MK Moshe Arbel from Shas - will participate this coming Thursday in a conference organized by the Association for Civil Rights. This is a conference to mark International Citizen's Day, in which MKs from left-wing parties, as well as members of the institute and other participants will participate. MK Oded Forer from Yisrael Beiteinu, whose name appeared on the invitation to the conference, was also initially supposed to participate, but following News 20's contact with his office, it was immediately stated that the statements sounded absurd. After reviewing the statements, they hastily canceled the MK's participation. The office of the Deputy Minister of Transportation responded: "Deputy Minister Maklev's appearance on the issue of severe police violence against the Haredi public does not constitute an expression of identification or non-identification with the body initiating the discussion. Deputy Minister Maklev will act to preserve and protect the rights of the Haredi public." MK Moshe Arbel responded: "Even if there are differences of opinion, there is no room for boycotting the members of the Halugta. We are tired of the messiah of boycott and hatred." The Association for Civil Rights declined to comment to Channel 20.
