Media figure Amnon Levy responded this evening (Sunday) to Yair Lapid's repulsive statement about the appearance of the Minister of Settlement and National Missions. Orit Strok from religious Zionism, and claimed on a panel on the Channel 13 program "War Zone" that the opposition leader's statement was not related to the appearance of Settlement Minister Orit Struck in terms of beauty - but rather "to her appearance with the swastika."
The discussion began when the host of 'War Zone', Baruch Kara, introduced the new storm: "A big storm surrounding this trial..."
Political commentator Sheri Roth: This is disgusting! You can disagree with her opinions, that's perfectly fine, I don't identify with her opinions either...
Read: This is the reference to appearance.
Sherry: Yes.
Lior Wroclawski: He claims he didn't mean the look, but yes, it's a poor choice of words. I think he was a little confused by the situation, by the status, and momentarily forgot his place.
Nimrod Shefer: It's good that he apologizes, I was wrong, I said something inappropriate.
Amnon Levy: I don't think it has to do with her appearance, as in terms of beauty, it does have to do with her appearance with the beard...
Sherry: That's what I understood too, and it's not nice.
Amnon: That's what she sells!
Read: I don't get it.
Sherry: No, no, it's her religion, that's not true! It has nothing to do with her opinions.
Mickey Rosenthal: I think that's a chauvinistic statement, period. But, it should also be said, all those hypocrites from the coalition who are attacking him...
Sherry: That's not related!
Mickey: No, it's very related, they weren't shocked that Stroke said the hostages could die, they have no problem with that.
Kara: It may be hypocrisy, but Amnon, I think you're making assumptions...
Amnon: I don't think he said that about a beautiful or unbeautiful woman, but rather against the backdrop of the defeat.
Nimrod: It's very simple, it's a statement that shouldn't have been made, without regret and Lapid should have apologized for it and said I was wrong and that's it.
