The presenter Galit Gutman, "Morning Show Host""Galit and Yoav""Keshet 12, alongside Yoav Limor, harshly attacked the Haredi public this morning (Friday).
Gutman shouted in the studio: "Pay crazy taxes, tell me, don't you see what's happening here? How much of a burden can they put on a third of this country to ultimately support all these Haredim who suck our blood. I have no other words, you're all very polite here. I'll continue to say these harsh statements, they've lost their shame...""
Barak Sari, a member of the program's panel, responded: "A very difficult statement. These Haredim who suck our blood are a very difficult statement.".
Gutman: "You have too many ultra-Orthodox voters in Ashdod, so at least talk about it. I'll sit here and tell you the truth. This is the reality. There's a new government here that's milking its residents. Our young people, those who serve in the army and those who go to university, won't stay here. So I'm telling you, they're sucking our blood, milking us. They've lost all shame, and we've had enough of sitting here and pretending.".
Barak: "I'm just protesting this statement, just as we wouldn't want it said about such and such publics.".
Media person Erel Schnabel"Galit" Guttman It's not the story. The story is that there is only one Western country where you can say on television about any group in the population that they 'suck your blood' without a huge scandal erupting that will open up editions. What a disgrace to the Israeli media, a mark of disgrace to those who consider themselves 'liberals'. Look at the hatred that comes out of you. Where will you end up?"'
Media person Erel Segal He responded: "'They suck our blood' and in German: "Sie saugen unser Blut". Israel, May 2023 The most watched channel in Israel. Thanks to Keshet, thanks to Avi Nir, thanks to the owners Wertheim, thanks to all the guests in the studio. Thanks to my colleagues. I wonder if Yad Vashem thinks this is the 'slippery slope'?""
Someone tell Galit Gutman that we only mix blood in matzah. Not in Shavuot cakes. What is she jumping for now?.

Media person Israel Cohen He responded: "The incitement against the Haredi is breaking records! Galit Gutman accuses the Haredi sector of 'sucking our blood.' To me, it reminds me of dark periods of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. I wonder what reactions she would get if she spoke like that about Ethiopians, Russians, Arabs or any other minority. Terrible!""
The creator Manny Assayag He responded: "Auto-anti-Semitism is really thin. You can ask the terrible Galit Gutman. Get a vomit bag before watching, and then share as much as possible, so that as many Jews as possible understand what a terrible media we have here in Jewish Israel.".
organization ''In his picture'' He appealed to the second authority, demanding that they immediately fine News 12 for the statement "Haredim are sucking blood.".
The complaint sent by the organization stated: "This is an anti-Semitic statement that is regularly made against Jews. This morning on her show, Galit Gutman repeatedly said, 'The Haredim are sucking our blood. Enough whining.' This is a racist statement that incites, generalizes falsely, and slanders, and is even anti-Semitic.".
""We did not return to our country after two thousand years of exile to encounter such intense hatred. We immediately demand that the authority initiate a violation procedure and issue a fine, and demand that Channel 12 suspend it immediately. Gone are the days when they slandered us.".
fromRainbow 12 It was stated: "We strongly condemn Galit Gutman's words regarding the Haredi sector on a live broadcast this morning. The words are unacceptable and should not have been said in any way. We regret this and apologize for the unnecessary hurt. Gutman apologized for the wording of her words and for the inclusion of an entire sector and was summoned for an urgent clarification with her managers, which will take place on Sunday morning.".
After condemnations from public figures and media personnel, the presenter Galit Gutman She issued an apology this afternoon:
And so he wrote in her status: "I would like to apologize from the bottom of my heart if I offended an entire sector. I love the State of Israel, and out of concern for its future, I have harsh criticism of the representatives of the Haredi sector in the Knesset. The words were said during a discussion on the government budget and the property tax fund. But I have no intention of offending the entire sector. I apologize to anyone who was offended by the words.".
Media person Uncle Zilbershlag He responded to the apology: "The representatives of the Haredi public are easy prey. And the representatives of the secular public? The glory of creation, who? Bibi? Go out and check the presence of Maklev, Gafni, Porush, Pindarus, Eichler. Their activity for their senders and beyond. Even there you will discover that Haredim surpass you dozens of times, in loyalty, in providing service not only to their voters but to all citizens of Israel. Freeloaders!""
